You Are Loved Is Available Now!

It’s official!

You Are Loved released today. This is one of the biggest milestones of my life, choosing to do something incredibly vulnerable for the sake of my heart.

After a chapter of my life that was filled with despair, I am now walking in a new chapter that involves teetering on the edge of despair while caring for my heart at the same time, even when I don’t feel Loved. Read more …

Caring for Our Needs
