What did we do before email? Seriously, though. What was the world like before we could instantly communicate with people around the globe? Reflecting on that makes me feel very small. Anywho. In case you were unaware, I have an email address for the blog. (Also a twitter @Anarevealed and Instagram @beauty.beyond.bones.) But my emailContinue reading Stopping the Freight Train
CO State of Mind
I love rock climbing. If you didn’t know, I went to school out West, and enjoyed rock climbing a few times. Both in climbing gyms and in the outdoors. It’s practically a religion out there. But rock climbing is really a great sport. Not only is it a great workout physically, but also mentally –Continue reading CO State of Mind
Dear Mom
This post is for my mom. Someone who, I can easily say, knows me the best in the world. I don’t know why exactly this was put on my heart today to share about this, but whatever — that hasn’t stopped me before… This past Thanksgiving, my mom and I put up the Christmas tree together while IContinue reading Dear Mom
The Smudge
Ash Wednesday is a weird day in New York. Because for really the first time during these blistery winter months, you actually look up and see people. Now, I know…that sounds bad. Like, what the heck? Who is this girl that she just goes around with her head in the clouds, not seeing people? ButContinue reading The Smudge
Redefining Lent
Lent. *sigh* This is a rather bittersweet time of year for me personally. Because even though it is leading up to Easter and is such a beautiful and intentional season of reflection, it also brings up a lot of pain for me. Because you see, Lent of sophomore year in high school, was when myContinue reading Redefining Lent
Fa La La
Christmas has always been my favorite time of year. I mean, if I could permanently decorate my life with white twinkle lights, I would. But I love it all: the decorations, the snow, the food, the music, the overly sappy Folgers commercials, the winter wardrobe, even Hallmark movies with their mawkish charm. I love it. all. But this year, aside from the fact that it’sContinue reading Fa La La
Callouses
I recently took up guitar. And when I say recently, I mean, I bought a nice guitar about two years ago, learned how to play four Taylor Swift songs, and then it found its resting place at the back of my closet ever since. 😛 But just this past week, I took it outContinue reading Callouses
Touchdown Dance
I love Sundays. Yes, brunch is great. Sleeping in – that’s good too. Going to church – always a highlight. But if I’m being 100% honest: the real reason why I love Sundays so much: One word: FOOTBALL I love watching the NFL. And one of my favorite parts of the game, is the touchdownContinue reading Touchdown Dance
The Power of Yes
Yes. A small word with a big impact. One syllable that can lead to incredible adventures, new relationships, and abundant life. Recovery has been a journey of rediscovering me, and becoming who I’d always been. You see, during my anorexia, I had forgotten who I was. I had become a hollow shell of myself: withoutContinue reading The Power of Yes
Broken & Free
Hey guys! I had the privilege of guest blogging for one of my absolute favorite blogs, Beauty In Christ, this past weekend. When Emily approached me to guest blog on her site, I was absolutely honored. I have so loved getting to know this beautiful warrior through her blog posts and I honestly feel like I know her heart.Continue reading Broken & Free
