Most everything can be drawn back to a question of identity. Who are you? Who are you when the masks are off and the walls are down? Who are you when you feel completely known, safe and enough? For many of us we’re not really sure…and for most of us, there are a lot of things in the way. In this place you will find words of encouragement to let go of the things that hold you back, and inspiration, courage and the faith needed to step forward into the life you were created to live.
