This Is Where It Starts
A few years ago, I believed a lie—that because my life was messy and unresolved, I didn’t get a voice anymore.
This is the moment I decided that wasn’t true—and why I’m starting to share the real, unfiltered parts of my story again.
How to Use AI to Style Yourself
If you want to try AI as a personal stylist, here’s exactly how to do it—what to say, what to expect, and how to get better results without wasting time.
StitchFix vs. AI: Which Styled Me Better?
I tried Stitch Fix again—but ended up letting ChatGPT style me instead. Here’s exactly how I used AI to find clothes that actually fit my style, body, and real life.
Things They Don’t Tell You About AI
Everyone is talking about what AI can do.
What we don’t talk about is what it’s like to actually use it.
Because somewhere between the efficiency and the productivity…
you realize something strange:
You’re not just using AI anymore.
You’re managing it.
The Skirt I Was Afraid To Wear
I almost didn’t wear the skirt.
Not because it didn’t fit—
but because I wasn’t sure how I would be seen in it.
It felt small. Almost silly.
But it wasn’t.
What I Thought Restoration Meant (Part 3)
I thought I understood what it meant for God to restore something.
I thought it meant putting things back the way they were.
But what if restoration was never about that at all?
Hiding (like an Easter Egg)
I almost didn’t go to church on Easter. But something in me said go. This is what it felt like to sit in the back row and realize—I’m hiding.
If You Were Fighting For Me… What Were You Fighting For? (Part 2)
I needed to believe God was fighting for me—that something was happening behind the scenes. But when everything fell apart anyway, I was left wondering what He was actually fighting for.
The Verse I Don’t Know What To Do With Because Nothing Changed (Part 1)
I built a lot on the idea that God would fight for me if I was still —that something would change. But what do you do when you’ve been still… and nothing has? When the thing you believed for doesn’t come, and you don’t know what to do anymore?
Let the Waters Wash You Clean
When faith feels more like failure than belief, sometimes the only thing left to do is go back—to the place where you remember, and let God soften what has grown hard.
Starting Again…
I used to share more often. Then life shifted, and I stopped—not because I didn’t have words, but because I wasn’t sure how they would land. This is me, starting again.
Basic Skincare Routine
I can’t start a post about my skincare routine without first making some skincare confessions:
White Cheddar Garlic Grits
I accidentally altered Paula Dean’s original recipe for cheese grits by swapping the cheddar cheese for the white cheddar and using less of it. Happy accident. Happy grits!
Anna Marie’s Slow Cooked Ribs
Fall off the bone ribs are one of the easiest things to pull off. Trust me. They’re a no brainer. Cooking them low and slow inside their own little aluminum packets are the secrets to success.
Guest Bath Refresh: From Drab to Fab
Stick a fork in it. It’s done. It’s finished. The guest bathroom refresh is complete. It took a little longer than expected, but it was worth every penny, every second, and every sore muscle.
The World’s Best Sausage Balls
Every time the weather gets chilly, I whip out this sausage ball recipe. They’re a hit at potlucks, make great appetizers, and can be frozen for a warm treat anytime.
