Happy 10th Anniversary!

It took me 7 years after writing it, 5 years into my marriage, 4 years after knowing…Dang, I didn’t listen…again, to crack this gem open.

I sobbed.

I’d gotten so far from the girl who wrote this book, and I thought I was such a woman with confidence and clarity. But, aren’t we all just girls?!

It gave me the courage to file. The courage to move on with my head held high.

I needed this book when I wrote it, I needed it then, I need it now.

That’s how I know to tell you that you need it too.

Don’t wait 10 years to listen.

Stories about love, hope, purpose, and choosing yourself.

When I wrote IKIGAI, I was standing at a crossroads.

Both in my romantic life and in my thoughts.

On the surface, I was intellectual and curious. I dissected and studied words like any professor and neuroscientist would—tracing dopamine, mapping the amygdala, pulling apart Greek etymology.

But under the academia was disappointment.

A self-aware, hopeless romantic who started to notice that the fairy tale I believed in wasn’t holding up under a microscope. I believed in God, in covenant, and in forever, but questioned the pedestal I placed romantic love on.

I was asking:

  • Why does this word carry so much weight?

  • Why do we center our lives around it?

  • Why does it feel intoxicating and unstable at the same time?

  • Why do we excuse behavior in romance that we would never tolerate in friendship?

I was not anti-love. I was anti-idolizing love.

Ikigai isn’t about abandoning love.

It’s about finding a reason to wake up that doesn’t depend on someone else choosing you.

I was learning that love is beautiful. But it is not the sun. You are not meant to orbit it. You are meant to stand in your own light.

IKIGAI: love is not enough nor is it the answer

Hope in Your Kid’s Hospital Room: Stories, Prayers & the Laugh You Need
$9.00

This is a flashlight for the night shift.

You don’t need a medical degree to feel like the only one keeping your child alive is you.
And you don’t need another blog post or forum thread telling you to “just trust GOD.”

You need someone who’s been there.
Who’s cried over test results.
Who knows what it feels like to pump milk with nothing coming out in the NICU and pray like your life depends on it.
Because it does.

Fear will lie to you. Google will betray you. Grief will paralyze you.
And if you’re not careful, you might miss the miracles happening in real time.

Inside Hope in Your Kid’s Hospital Room you’ll find:

  • The truth about what to do when one doctor says “termination” and another says “you’re good!”

  • Prayers you can whisper when your brain is too fried to think

  • Real NICU stories that make you laugh out loud through tears

  • Sacred reminders that God does not require you to be superhuman to be held by Him

  • Practical sanity-saving lists and emotional CPR for tired, terrified parents

This is where fear is real, but hope is realest. A deep breath before the test results. A reminder that God meets you even here.
