Finding Peace in the Wreckage: Why I Started This Blog

If you had told me two years ago that I’d be here—writing a blog about living unapologetically and finding peace in chaos—I’m not sure I would have believed you.

The past couple of years haven’t been kind.

My home, the place I poured love and memories into, was destroyed by water damage… and through no fault of my own. It’s still sitting there—damaged, untouched, and stuck in a limbo I never asked for. That alone would have been enough to knock the wind out of me.

But life didn’t stop there. I lost my dog—my best friend, my comforter, the one who always knew when I needed a nudge or a cuddle. And just when I thought I had caught my breath, my job turned upside down. The steady ground I once relied on began to shift beneath me, leaving me questioning everything I thought I had figured out.

One thing after another.

But here’s the truth: somewhere in the middle of all that heartbreak and upheaval, I found something I didn’t expect—myself.

This blog isn’t just about moving forward. It’s about choosing to move forward with intention, with grace, and without apologizing for needing time, space, or softness. It’s about sharing what it looks like to rebuild your life from the ground up while clinging to faith and finding peace in holistic healing.

I’ve leaned into my relationship with Jesus more deeply than ever before. I’ve also found strength and stillness through yoga, meditation, and the quiet, beautiful energy of crystals. One in particular has been calling to me lately—Flower Agate.

There’s something about Flower Agate that feels like hope wrapped in stone. It’s known for encouraging growth, emotional healing, and a gentle kind of transformation—exactly what I’ve needed. It reminds me that blooming takes time, especially when the soil has been shaken.

So, why this blog?

Because I know I’m not the only one who’s been cracked open by life.

And if sharing my mess, my healing, my discoveries, and even my awkward steps into joy can make someone else feel a little less alone, then this space is worth it.

Here’s to living our best lives—not the perfect ones, but the real ones.

The ones built from faith, resilience, and tiny moments of peace in the chaos.

I’m glad you’re here. 💛
