Love is the answer, darlings.
And so, I thought that I would pop into your inbox today with these words. Words that I wrote mid-covid-brain-fog last year. Words that resonate once more as I received an influx of beautiful messages regarding my affinity for all of God’s children (this weekend) as well as quite a few condemning my love and I to the fires of a hell that I do not know that I believe in.
Love is the answer.
I wrote these words to the soul tenders out there, by the way. You and I who give a damn about others. I call it Show Me.
Show me your real your raw your most wild, unkempt, and even unhinged self Show me your hurts what's under the surface - the things you contemplate late at night when no one else is awake And still, I will love you.
It is not easy to be transparent in this world, darlings. It is almost unsafe. And yet, if we sit in the seat of Radical Love… it’s all worth it.
Even the unsafety.
Because we are called to love.
If I’m certain of anything, it is this.
I love you.

Above is a picture of my beautiful family from this spring. My husband and I celebrated 14 years of marriage on Monday. And on Friday, our son will turn 13. These people that I get to do life with? They know Radical Love so very well. It is my honor and privilege to share glimpses of our life together with you.
Also both kids were not feeling photographs this year and they love our photographer, so we still received some absolutely stunning shots. Find people who love you well, and life will be easier. Thanks for hanging out with us again, Coach Nikki!
New here? Reclamation is a safe, inclusive and progressive faith-filled space where you can find contemplations at the intersection of caregiving, pain and peace. My promise here is to remind you of how to love well. Yourself, your kids, your neighbor, and the whole wide world.
I love this, and I love you!!!
