Building a real intimacy is quite rare these days. Doesn’t have to be a relationship, friendships can be soulish with something genuine.

Officially 34 years old, I celebrate this year remembering the decisions I made to choose God, the countless times I have sat alone at restaurants, have had few friends, have worked in silence to invest in my career. I have lived a lifetime of shrinking myself around those I do not respect in order to have community and these pat few years I realized I love and respect myself too much to dim myself anymore. To the 420 full moons that have passed over my life. To what I will create, to what I will build, to my bright future and all the love I wish to spread to the world. Watch out 😉

I placed my phone against this tree to take a photo. I know it well, just like the magnolia in the courtyard. Seasons change, leaves fall and return, years and people pass, while some things stay familiar. I like that kind of constancy. Growth does not mean becoming someone else. I have changed, learned, and understood myself better, but I still know who I am, what I love, what I want, and what I do not want. Love can remain too, even when its hold on us fades. We carry it as part of our story without letting it write the rest. There is a difference between being grounded and being stuck. 🌳
