Faith in Transition

A Note from my Heart

Before you read my story, I want to say this from the start: my intent is not to criticize, divide, or convince anyone to leave their faith. My story isn’t about being against something — it’s about learning to walk with Jesus in a way that’s honest, freeing, and deeply personal.

I carry love and respect for the faith tradition I came from. It shaped me in many good ways — especially in valuing family, service, and community. Those roots will always be a part of me. But over time, I began to realize that my relationship with God was growing into something I couldn’t fit neatly inside a label or denomination.

This is the story of how I moved from fear to freedom, from striving to rest, and from religion to relationship. It’s the story of finding Jesus not as someone waiting for me to get it right, but as Someone who had already loved me all along.

If you choose to read the rest, I hope you’ll do so with an open heart. Whether you still belong to the LDS Church, another faith, or none at all — I hope you feel loved, seen, and reminded that curiosity in your faith journey isn’t rebellion; it’s an invitation.

Because the love of Jesus isn’t fragile or exclusive. It’s wide enough for all of us — wherever we are on the road.

Too Much, Not Enough

 

"Too Much, Not Enough"

They say,
"Don’t be a secret — shout it loud,
Let the world know you sell homes with pride."
But then whisper,
"That’s a bit much.
Tone it down. You’re coming on strong."

Smile more.
Speak less.
Be bold.
But not too bold.

You're a mom —
so be fully present,
but also build your brand,
grow your reach,
post more reels.

You’re a wife —
nurturing and warm,
but ambitious, too.
Independent, but available.
Strong, but soft.
Always smiling — but never too tired.

Your phone buzzes at midnight,
and you're too responsive.
It buzzes again at noon,
and you’re not responsive enough.

You are
too busy to slow down,
too quiet to be heard,
too loud to be liked,
too tired to be bold,
too driven to sit still.

And still —
you show up.
With grace, and grit, and the deep hope
that maybe… being too much
just means you care that much more.
And not enough?
Only by a world that forgot
you already give it everything.
