Anxiety & Holy Week

April 7, 2020

I’m writing this at 2:53AM and sleep is elusive. I can feel the anxiety in my body — shortness of breath, wide awake, adrenaline pumping through my veins and a mind that races. This is new territory with a pandemic now being part of our global narrative. I know in my head that anxiety, for…

Weep Together

September 14, 2016

The Third Weekend in May

Authenticity

April 28, 2016
