For those who love oversized welcome mats and spacious entryways—the kind that invite you to relax before stepping inside—this “About” page is the digital version of that feeling. May the words here resonate with aspects of your own story.
My What and Why
I’m drawn to the slow, deep work of becoming.
Or, to say it another way, I’m passionate about intentionally nurturing soul wellness and fullness of life.
I define soul wellness as simply being filled to the brim with love, hope, and faith—of the quality and kind that characterized the life of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Fullness of life is the bold, beautiful life that naturally flows from this place of soul wellness.
Opposite to what we’re told, this beautiful life doesn’t begin from the outside in, but from the inside out. It starts with and is sustained by tending to our life with God. A life with him that was always meant to be far more vibrant than most of us have dared believe, been told, or have allowed.
But soul wellness isn’t just about tending to our inner life. A brief look at our world—and our experiences in it—reveals realities that are both gut-wrenching and glorious. How do we navigate these whiplash-inducing extremes? Through faith, hope, and love.
The lifeline we need when we’re barely surviving? These three are the search-and-rescue team—and they’re up to the task. The rocket fuel that powers a joyful, thriving life? These graces are the sponsors that make such a life possible. And when it comes to operating at a level beyond even thriving—that is, reigning in life based on the promise of Romans 5:17—you can credit these three amigos for that too.
So, what could it do for you personally to know the peace, joy, strength, and security of a deeply renewed life?
What would our world be like if God’s people radiated ever-increasing measures of faith, hope, and love?
Soul wellness and fullness of life—this is what God offers us. It’s what every human being was created to walk in. It’s what I most need and what I long for most.
This is why I’m committed to the journey of becoming.
Maybe you sense the same pull too.
My How
On the journey of becoming, the power of words especially capture my attention.
Their ability to influence and mark us is profound, and what we hear, read, or view tends to either move us towards hope, faith, and love—or away.
In my own life, the practice of regularly writing has proven to be a source of strength and delight. However, walking a path that included sharing my writing publicly was never part of “my plan”.
In time, though, I began to sense a clear invitation to pay attention to the breadcrumb trail of my love of words.
I also came to recognize that God was gently initiating a shift in my calling, nudging me to use my gift with words to cultivate soul wellness and encourage fullness of life in his people.
This redirection took me out of the education arena and into the world of content writing, development, and strategy—and launching Honey Salted Words.
What is a honey salted word? It is a word that renews and heals. It’s also a word that is honest—honest because loving, truthful words set us free.
In short, a honey salted word leaves you feeling comforted and courageous. Encouraged and empowered. Reassured and resilient.
