I really, really like your house. It’s fascinating. It’s ridiculously big, and when I first came to your house I thought it was super out of style, old-fashioned and stuffy. Everything looked gaudy to me, antiquey, out-dated. Like, people really live like this? And why do you have so much crap? You must have aContinue reading “To the Lady whose House Looks like a Museum”

Thoughts from Your Cleaning Girl
I see everything. I see your dried up, rotting fruit you got from one of those fancy meal-making delivery kits that you never actually used. I see your makeup strewn all over your marble countertop. I see the mold in your master shower. I see the dog hair. All the dog hair. I see theContinue reading “Thoughts from Your Cleaning Girl”
To the Couple at the House with the Ten Bathrooms
Ten bathrooms. Really? Oh, I know. You need one as your pool and movie theatre bathroom. You need a downstairs guest room and workout room bathroom. You need a bathroom for your upstairs study. And an en suite bathroom for each of your upstairs bedrooms (They have a sitting area in each bedroom too. Luxurious).Continue reading “To the Couple at the House with the Ten Bathrooms”
To the Lady at the House with the Golden Retriever
I see your pain. I see the tears you try to hide. I see how you talk short to your husband. How you sit, embroider, on Instagram, make coffee, maybe do the laundry (if you have to) while your gorgeous home studio sits there too…unused. (I’ll be honest, I’m a little jealous of your homeContinue reading “To the Lady at the House with the Golden Retriever”
To the Lady at the Grey House
I really loved your den. With the shelves of books and nick nacks, the comforting, musty smell of old, well-loved books, the sunshine coming in during the early afternoon as I cleaned. Your house was weird though and for a long time I thought very unfriendly. It was cold, unfeeling, haughty…very grey. I felt youContinue reading “To the Lady at the Grey House”
Purposefulness
Purpose. Purposeful. Intentional. Specific. The last few days I feel like God has been highlighting Purpose. Yesterday someone asked me to describe God in one word and I said, ‘Purposeful’. Because He is. He created the earth on purpose. He created me on purpose. He came to earth on purpose. Died…on purpose. Rose from theContinue reading “Purposefulness”
Little Encouragements
It’s 5:30am. I woke up from a bad dream about an hour ago, couldn’t sleep. So, instead of lying in bed, decided to get up and start the day. I’ve been listening to the Thriving Christian Artist podcast on my way to work the past week or two. I don’t really consider myself a ‘podcastContinue reading “Little Encouragements”
The Heart of My Sojourn
‘Therefore we do not lose heart…’ It’s hard to do something, anything, if you don’t have the heart for it. I was talking to a friend the other day via Messenger and I said I was struggling with my job. She asked more about that and so I told her a bit and ended with,Continue reading “The Heart of My Sojourn”
The Hard Work
“In many ways daydreaming is one of the core prerequisites for writing. The trick of course, is to get past the daydreaming phase and actually do something with all that idle musing. Ideas by themselves are merely a raw material, and it is not enough just to have ideas. You have to work to turnContinue reading “The Hard Work”
