In between moving, work, and life in general, April’s reading wasn’t great. But I’m hoping to change that in May! I read five books this month, and I’m sharing my thoughts below. Let me know what you think! BOUNDARIES BY HENRY CLOUD - 3 STARS This book has been showing up everywhere for me, and I really wanted to learn more about this topic and how I can improve in my own life. It was very dry, which I expected, but packed full of practical and spiritual examples of setting boundaries …
5 Podcasts I’m Loving Right Now (Part 3)
I used to binge podcasts every single day of my life - on my commute, lunch breaks, drives, getting ready, etc. And then I discovered the Libby app and have been binging audiobooks for the last two years (when I get obsessed with something, I go all in).

You can find my previous favorite podcast lists here and here. The Lazy Genius with …
What I Read in March
My reading has slowed way down in March and April - partially due to a busy work schedule, partially due to moving mid-April (lots of packing and cleaning and garage saling), and partially due to rekindling my love for podcasts as my audio of choice while driving.

In this book you will find stories on …
Sermon Notes: Joshua 1
My church just wrapped up a series on the book of Joshua, and it has been so impactful to me that I wanted to share my notes here so that I can look back on them, and hopefully they might inspire you, as well! The story of Joshua is one of unshakeable courage, of extreme trust, and of strong faith - one I've heard as Bible stories in bits and pieces, but I've never studied the entire book beginning to end. So let's begin with Joshua 1! How do I get unshakeable courage? Why do I need …
Quarantine Thoughts: One Year Later
I sat down today to write a post on my thoughts from one year in “quarantine”, and I started by looking back at the quarantine thoughts post that I shared in May of 2020. We were only a few months into the pandemic, and we had absolutely no clue that we would still be here a year later. A few things have changed since I hit publish on that post - there’s now a vaccine available for COVID-19, we have a new president, I’m MARRIED, I’ve gotten to see friends and family along the way, things have …
