Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places


Fair Trade

I traded

mountains and rivers

Great Yellowstone

and the

beautiful Rocky Mountains

for you

And I don’t regret it for a second

because

nothing compares to the way

you look at me

and the things we share

Mountains do no justice

to your kindness and care

Rivers, sure, can teach me about

all the ways of life

but they can’t make me feel

the kind of peace

I feel

when you’re around

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.
