Because we all need a reason to keep going.

Because the grind is grinding us down, and we need deep inner rest.

Because there’s so much beauty, when we slow down enough to write about it.

Because there’s deep peace in knowing we’re doing what we were made for, one dirty, exhausting mountain climb at a time.

That’s why I write.

I’m here to keep your fire lit, with soul deep encouragement.

Quotes. Reflections. Prayers. Poems. Pep talks.

Whatever it takes to propel you forward into your calling.

The world needs your words. You need your words.

The road is rough, the path difficult, winding upward,

but take heart!

You are not alone.

From one traveler to the next, let’s share the road ahead.
