About me
I’m a bit of a mystic–I like to make connections between the intersections of faith and real life – they’re more apparent than you might think! I love to point out where these two places meet, because it’s in those places of intersection where we find our hearts come most alive.

Life Takes Faith Blog
The intersection of life and faith can sometimes be murky and hard to see, and so we often end up compartmentalizing these areas, forced into an uncomfortable juggling act. But there is a better way. A more integrated way.. These blog posts aim to provide some clarity of those intersection points—and because God is everywhere, these points of intersection are everywhere. Organized by category (faith, family, business), I invite you to check them out!
