how the blog started

I write because words can change people. They changed me, over two years ago.

This blog started as kind of a dare- a place to unfold everything I was grappling with about faith, change, loss, and friendship. I named it after my favorite Langston Hughes poem.

I started writing with no idea that these words would lead to friends. I started getting really honest and people showed up and started saying, "Me too." What started as a dare turned into a place for stories- mine and yours are ours.

I write a lot about God and traveling and forgiveness because these are the things I know. I believe in a God who makes all things new- He's still making me new. That's the story I'm trying to live. These words are just part of the journey. Thanks for joining along.


With all hope,
E

Walkers with the sun and morning,
We are not afraid of night,
Nor days of gloom,
Nor darkness--
Being walkers with the sun and morning.
