My name is Michelle — I’m a wife, a mom, a sports mom, a theater mom, a daughter, sister, aunt, cousin, and a thousand other things. I proudly carry these titles and more all while learning how to navigate life while waiting for a heart transplant.

I decided to start this blog as a way to heal myself of life’s trauma and more. It is my hope that this blog will be just as helpful to you as it is me. If you can take anything away from this blog, even just the slightest bit of faith and inspiration, then this blog has done its job! This is somewhere I can express myself, share my day-to-day life — the laughter and light, the chaos and crazy, the quiet moments and the darkness. This is the unfiltered version, the real one. This is the one where the to-do lists never end, one where the house is full of laughter and kids. More than all that, I can share the faith that holds me up through it all. Life can be scary, nerve racking and unpredictable, but it’s also beautiful, amazing and well worth the not so perfect times. My personal hope as time goes on is to continue seeing and holding on to all the beauty in the chaos.

You’ll find stories about seasons of life, family, motherhood, love and loss, hope, and solid faith. At this moment, I am walking through a very personal season- I’m waiting for a heart transplant. It is something that has changed how I see everything- my time, priorities, love, strength, and grace. I want this to be a place where honesty lives and where anyone walking through their own hard season can find even the slightest bit of light. If you choose to, you will get a glimpse of what it’s like to walk a mile or a hundred in my shoes. You will also get to see unconditional love, and faith while revealing what truly matters. My goal is to create a place where we can connect — maybe even inspire each other along the way. We are all battling our own issues, here we are not alone.

Thank you for being here! I’m excited (and a little nervous!) to start this journey publicly — but more than that, I’m grateful to have a space where real life and real hearts meet. Whether you are a mom, a caregiver, a friend, or someone navigating your on health journey, I hope my words remind you that you are never alone. I hope you know that even in waiting, there is still purpose, laughter, and most of all- love.
