Welcome to the Sweet Deep!
Get to know this space.
Have you ever felt like the depths of you are so deep that no person could ever meet you at your depths? There is one person who I’ve encountered who can meet me here— it is God. And He comes into this funnel of me with an ease. I’ve learned to let Him have that exclusive place of my sweet deep, but I still love to converse on all the beauty that sits in the gifts and the grit of life with the precious souls around me.
I think love is worth pursuing and sharing even when it is messy or complicated or makes you suck in your breath for speaking how you truly feel. There can be a lot to wade through when you commit to a lifestyle of living in the deep things. This place is for all of those conversations that help us keep moving into these wonders!

At heart, I’m a romantic poet. I confess it! People and hearts are my subjects. I got to perform some of my poems this month. My favorite part of the night, after the thrill of sharing my poems, of course, was receiving a most unique compliment from a new creative acquaintance. She said, “You are like the burning bush! And I just wanna get closer and closer so I can see what’s inside!” I laughed in awkwardness and joy. That is hands down my favorite compliment! How would you feel if someone said this to you? Do you want to let others peer in and know your deepest parts? Are you willing to keep figuring out how to gently hold the precious hearts of others with care even if it is broken or strange or very different from your own views? What makes your world fly by in intense color and wonder? For me, it is this precious gift of getting to know people and seeing how beautifully God knit them together.
Whoever is huddling into this sacred beauty of reading or writing about the sweet deep of life, let’s mine these treasures together! Let’s love deeply from the heart and share our stories boldly!
