ALL THE INFO

the why

For years I thought I wanted to write a blog. For years I did not write one. Then, one day, my dad died. Yeah, it came out of the blue. Through the loneliest time in my life, I have sought connection. I finally decided to write and to be intentional about it. 

I was already writing about my grief because I had to get the words out of my head. And then I got this idea. I had to document as much as I could - and be as vulnerable as I could. I wanted to be able to hand someone my journal and let it serve as a friend during those unbearable nights. It was one thing for people to tell me they had been there. It was something else entirely when someone shared their emotions with me…when it seemed someone “got it.”

I started a walk through ordinary to help others, including myself, find connection during loss - to honor my dad - and to document my journeys. I want you to see words that resonate and give you a moment to breathe. I want you to feel seen. I want you to be prepared to help friends and family…to really be able to show up for them. I want you to find hope and the strength to find help. I want to change how we see grief - how we talk about it - but more so, how we don’t talk about it.

And because life continues to happen, I also want to write about the time in between the highs and the lows. I hope we all come to embrace our ordinary and realize just how extraordinary it can be.
