There’s a line in Pretty Woman that has stayed with me for years. Julia Roberts’ character says quietly, almost painfully honestly: “It’s easier to believe the bad stuff.” I suspect most of us know exactly what she means. A hundred kind words can drift past us like wind through an open window, but one criticism can settle … Continue reading It’s Easier to Believe the Bad Stuff
April 23 Today is a sacred day for me. One year ago today, on April 23, my father, William Heath Henry, died. I did not begin that day knowing it would end in farewell. But early that morning, I received the call that he had been rushed to the hospital. What followed were conversations with … Continue reading Remembering Love That Lives On
There are certain days that carry more weight than others. You don’t always notice them at first. Sometimes they arrive quietly. Other times, they announce themselves before they even get here. Anniversaries. Birthdays. Holidays. The day you got the call. The day everything changed. If you’ve lost someone you love, you know these days. They … Continue reading Inviting Grief, Intentionally
Sometimes the most meaningful thing we can do is pause. Today, I found myself stepping away from a busy day, sitting quietly with a cup of coffee, and realizing that instead of rushing toward a topic, what was needed was a moment of presence—a simple check-in. Together, we explore what’s happening in the body: where … Continue reading Recognize. Release. Return
There are moments in life that feel extraordinary—full, vibrant, alive. For many of us in the Christian tradition, Easter is one of those moments. The days leading up to it are filled with meaning: Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, the quiet in-between, and then the celebration of resurrection. There is energy, community, depth, and beauty. These … Continue reading Show Up: Finding the Sacred in the Ordinary
Recognize. Release. Return. Hello, beloved. There are seasons in life when the pressure quietly builds. Sometimes it’s obvious—deadlines, responsibilities, expectations stacking one on top of another. Other times it’s more subtle, but just as real: the quiet hope that what we offer matters, that what we say or do might reach someone, might make a … Continue reading When the Pressure Bears Down
Where the Divine Becomes Visible There is a way of seeing the world that changes everything. For many, the word incarnation points to a single moment in history—a sacred expression of the divine in one person. And that matters. It always will. But what if incarnation is not only something that happened… but something that is happening? … Continue reading Where the Divine Becomes Visible
There are moments when a question finds its way to me that feels less like a question and more like an invitation—an invitation to speak into something tender, something widely shared but often quietly carried. This week, someone asked me to reflect on guilt and shame. And the truth is, we all live somewhere in that … Continue reading Guilt, Shame, and the Truth About Who You Are
The spiritual life is often described as a journey. That image has been on my mind lately—the sense that we are walking a path that continues for as long as we draw breath, and perhaps beyond. Along that path there are stopping places. Sometimes we sit on a bench along the side of the road … Continue reading Ripening Along the Path
Some days feel heavier than others—not because anything has gone wrong, but because everything is happening at once. The calendar is full. The expectations are high. And before the day even begins, the anxiety has already arrived. I’ve had several days like that recently. You may be having one too. When the schedule fills up faster than … Continue reading Giving the Best You’ve Got Right Now
