Hi, I’m Emily
Writer, watercolor artist and really good chocolate chip cookie maker. Mom of four (three boys and a girl), plant lady, lifelong journaler. Most at peace near the water. Currently writing and illustrating my first book, coming Spring 2021. Believing that what He says of me (and you!) is true: we are His beloved, deeply valued, with the glorious purpose to be exactly who He made us to be so that the world might catch a glimpse of how truly good He is.
Grateful that you are here.
JOIN THE LIST
the good, true and beautiful list
Each week I’ll pop into your inbox with a quick list of the good, true and beautiful things I’m noticing (think books, podcasts, songs, photos or moments) in hopes that it will help you see the good, true and beautiful in your life, too.

It’s up to us to pay attention.

pop those headphones in
I listen to a lot of podcasts. It dawned on me when I was sharing my five things Friday on Instagram and all I wanted to talk about were the podcast episodes I listened to. I listed a few and held back from the others because I didn’t want you to think that I do...
