Hey, Soos! #7
October 17, 2020 Hey, Soos! One day I hope to climb a mountain. Yes, a super random way to start out this entry, I know. Why would a born-and-raised Ohio girl want to climb a mountain? I guess there are a few reasons that I can think of off the top of my head. One,…

Hey, Soos! #5
October 13, 2020 Hey, Soos! Creativity is one of the most important things in my life. Without it, I’m not quite sure where I would be. In many ways creativity has kept me somewhat quasi-sane during my darkest moments. When my anxiety reached a fever pitch during my childhood years, I would go in the…

Hey There Soos! #1
Author’s Note: Over the past couple of years I have been on a kind of “spiritual journey” that has led me to grow deeper in my faith traditions and grow in my understanding of the world and people around me. For most of my life I have been a “Christian”, though I definitely have not…

From Yin to Yang: A Letter to Tai Chi
Dear Tai Chi, I never expected that I would ever write a letter to you. First of all, you’re not an actual person. Second, I never really thought that you would play such a huge part in my life. And for the third (but maybe not the final) reason, many people looking at me would…

They make their own shelter, hunt for food,…

Seeing God Through a Child’s (and Teen’s) Eyes
Religion is a funny thing. Everyone has an opinion on it, both good and bad. It’s been a staple of human behavior since our first introduction on Earth, and it still serves as a huge influence across the world today. Many use their respective religions to justify their actions and beliefs, a kind of tool…

Birthdays are an annual celebration of life, and serve as a reminder of how far someone has come in their journey. And a 25th birthday can be a big deal in many people’s eyes, marking that someone has made it to a quarter of a century. But what if your 25th birthday falls during the…

Reclaiming my identity as a creative
Over the past few years, I’ve been struggling. Honestly, struggling is kind of an understatement. Life has not been that easy, and nearly every day I reflect on what is going on and who I am as a person. I often ponder my past and all that has occurred in my story of life so…
