Erica Baker Oh Los Angeles. You made me feel all kinds of feelings for you this week. I promise I love my precious DC, but the the sunshine and the palm trees. You temptress, you. I think my favorite thing about LA was the street art everywhere. And the fact that there was always an amazing beach near by. And architecture like this. That also happened to be a set for several movies. …
On a snowy March morning that looked more like a scene from a classic Christmas movie than the first day of spring, I snuggled up by the fire in the warm home of the Wilder family. Though their home was beautifully decorated and a fire was cracking in the hearth, it was obvious that the true beauty and warmth in their home came from their genuine love for each other. …

“Here’s what I want you to do: Find a quiet, secluded place so you won’t be tempted to role-play before God. Just be there as simply and honestly as you can manage. The focus will shift from you to God, and you will begin to sense his grace.” – Matthew 6:6, The Message The Bellfry. It’s like a breath of fresh air right when you need it. The Lord brought me …
March. You came in like a lion with your ice storm and dreary temperatures and here you are now outside my window with buds and soft sunshine like a little lamb. Typical. Seriously though, I have been enjoying writing these posts every few weeks. The practice really makes my reflect on what has happened in over the course of a month and helps usher me into a new,fresh month. Anyways…March. Making …
In honor of International Women’s Day I wanted to take a minute to honor all of the incredible women who I’ve had the privilege of meeting over the past few years through this blessing of a job that I have. Here’s to the girls who jumped off of the back of a truck to escape Boko Haram. Here’s to the single mom in North Carolina who worked her and her children …
In the past year or so of living the ‘freelance life’ by finding jobs by visiting this go URL, I have learned a few things from many places. One of the most memorable moments was when I realised I am learning something while I was working at a coffee shop. The etiquette, if you will. You see, when you spend a lot of your days working from home, you can …
Okay. You caught me. It’s March now and I am posting about February, but to be fair I wrote this is February, so it’s all good. Speaking of February, I hate that extra ‘r” they threw in there. I have to phonetically say “feb-ru-ary” in my brain every time I spell it. Ugh. Now that we’ve moved on from that drama, here’s how February looked for us. Making : Excuses about …
As a girl who grew up in the arctic tundra, I mean Michigan, I have a complicated relationship with winter. On one hand I am really sick of the air hurting my face every time I open my front door, but on the other hand, there are few things greater than sitting under a blanket with a good book as snow falls outside. A few weeks ago I was pretty …
I’ve passed the beautiful National Public Radio building more times than I can count while driving down North Capitol over the past (almost) four years of living in DC, but never had an excuse to go in. Then, my lovely friend, Sarah, informed me that the only excuse needed was to sign up for free tour. Who knew? So one sunny, but extremely cold, day we teamed up with the always-wonderful …
January. It’s like the snow comes and covers the city in thick blanket of white to remind us of new beginnings. Sure, technically there’s nothing special about the month January, but starting a new year sure does put so many things into perspective. I’ve felt convicted to start this year a little healthier and a little more disciplined. So far, it’s actually been going pretty well. Here’s a little of …
