Hey! So Glad You're Here.
I am a low key blogger, and baker, who lives in Indiana, and I am honored that you took the time to hear about me and how my blog originated. I never really considered myself a writer, or author for that matter. I am incredibly passionate about having hope, and finding reason, though. It is in that passion, I think, my blog came to be. There were two moments in my life that really drove the decision to begin this writing journey.
​
The first moment was back at Church Camp maybe 16-17 years ago. The leaders set up these mail boxes where you could exchange notes and letters. The intention was great, but if I remember correctly, no one really used them. However, one of the leaders, Becky, left me a note. I can't remember what it had said verbatim, but I remember this part.
"You are quiet, but powerful..."
​
I never thought much of it until lately after I encountered the second moment. It took place at my most recent place of work. I was having a brief discussion with a coworker about the way we talk about ourselves. It started out by her saying she knows she will never make a million dollars. I asked her why she thought she would never make a million dollars. She couldn't really answer. I told her if she has already made up her mind that she will never make a million dollars, then she will never make a million dollars. After a little more light chit chat, she looked at me and genuinely said "You should be a motivational speaker at churches, man". I laughed that one off because I got stuck on "churches", but after a few days, I found that that statement was resonating with me. I knew in that moment I had made some kind of impact.
​
Shortly after another light conversation with another friend, about the aforementioned conversation, and her telling me to absolutely go for it because said coworker was right, I could not pull away from the idea to begin this blog. And now, you sit here reading this "about me" section on my website because I finally came to understand that statement Becky made in that short note at Church camp.
​
I hope these quick reads can become a moment for you as well. If I can create a moment for you, then I have succeeded.
