Hi!


I'm Rebekah, a former copy editor who decided to give my red pen a rest and do a bit of writing from the desk in my sunny kitchen instead. Here you'll find honest stories of mothering daughters, making peace with imperfection, and embracing grace. My hobbies change on a weekly basis but have most recently included photography, cross-stitch, knitting, and raising monarch butterflies. You can also find me at The Drafting Desk, a monthly newsletter offering soulful encouragement for recovering perfectionists, and as a contributing writer for Kindred Mom and The Joyful Life.

Sometimes all this pain and sadness Is more than a heart can handle But I'm tired of cursing at the darkness I'm gonna light a candle 🎶 @andygullahorn #advent2018 #lightacandle #Godwithus
It’s always butterfly season around here. #simplegifts #savethemonarchs
O come, Thou Day-Spring⠀ ⠀ Come and cheer⠀ ⠀ Our spirits by Thine advent here⠀ ⠀ Disperse the gloomy clouds of night⠀ ⠀ And death’s dark shadows put to flight⠀ ⠀ Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel⠀ ⠀ Shall come to thee, O Israel⠀ ⠀ 🎶⠀ ⠀ #advent2018 #Godwithus
Some fun (fun? I don’t know) facts for my new friends here: I overthink every single caption I write. I’m a 5 on the enneagram, which speaks to that first thing. About a month and a half ago, I went back to work part-time (again) and you know what? I love working in an office. I just wrapped up a three-month run as a writer in residence for @kindred_mom and it was wonderful and challenging and I can’t believe it’s over already. My 4-year-old took this photo. She’s pretty good at getting real smiles out of people. #fridayintroductions
