Life is a mix
of beautiful and brutal.
Some moments bring us to our knees;
others lift us into the sky.
Of Ash & Honey is where I explore both.
Through stories of suffering & joy, grief & wonder, adventure & everyday life.
Here you’ll find essays, reflections, and poems about the fires, the ash, the honey, and the gold
From Ash to Honey to Gold
Me and my baby motorcycle. It was so fun!
I love my momma.
Me and my baby motorcycle. It was so fun!
I never intended to write hundreds of essays.
I certainly never imagined that a blog born from one of the hardest years of my life would become one of the greatest gifts to come from it.
These pages have grown alongside me.
They've witnessed grief and joy, heartbreak and wonder, leadership and adventure, ordinary Tuesdays and extraordinary moments.
And they're still growing.
I'm glad you're here for whatever comes next.
With Love,
“To be human is to carry
light and shadow, love and fear,
and still choose to create who we become.”
This is where the story unfolds.
Not in a straight line, but through fires, ash, honey, and the gold.
Of Ash & Honey was born out of necessity during the hardest year of my life.
What began as a way to survive became a place to make sense of life, healing, and what comes next. These pages hold the fire, the ash, the honey, and the gold.
The Fire — The moments that changed everything.
The Fog — Grief, confusion, uncertainty, & finding my way forward.
The Creation — Choosing, creating, and living a life aligned with who I am.
Homecoming — The lifelong practice of becoming my own safe place.
Legacy — Carrying forward what matters
The Next Chapter — Living fully, dreaming boldly, and embracing what comes next.
Tools + Truths — Reflections, lessons, and ideas gathered along the way.
Or Simply
Each piece stands alone. You don’t have to read in order—just begin where your heart lands.
My hope is that someone out there will see themselves in my story, and know they are not alone.
