Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places

Ode to Montana

Montana

you gave me

the chance to be

brave

Roads of snow and ice

to drive on

Boats of children

to keep safe

Hard conversations

Failings

and

Misunderstandings

Conflicting stories

Disappointments

Driving hours

down mountains

Facing cold

like never before

Facing loneliness

like never before

Choosing again

and

again

to try

and live

I see the world through stories and insights. I have always been a sensitive soul, especially towards nature, people, art, and faith. I spend a lot of time reflecting and finding treasures wherever I can. The two values I live by are beauty and celebration. I hope my blog communicates those two things, seeing beauty where beauty is not often seen and celebrating every aspect of life, the hard and the easy.

About Me

An obsessive journaler who loves meeting others along their journey and giving them a hand to hold through pieces of writing. I write about the heartbreaks of life and the joys, the ups and downs, and I often learn my greatest lessons and miracles from nature.
