Finding balance in routine and falling into the steps of adulthood is tricky! I share a chunk of my experience here in my new post.
We can't all be Carrie Bradshaw.

This story is personal. And it’s an urgent question Christendom must contend with: why are white Christians the meanest people on the internet?

My second substack post! Really excited about this one as I got to dive into one of my new favorite shows, Blue Eye Samurai.

Great discussions
Join the most interesting and insightful discussions.
I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

This isn't hypothetical.
The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.
If you're still trying to “keep up” with a curriculum that doesn’t fit your family… You’re not behind. You’re just stuck in a system you were never meant to replicate.
We ditched the worksheets. Now we’re learning math while baking sweet potato pie. Writing while building a lip balm business. Practicing Italian while cooking dinner.
This is life schooling. This is Beyond the 4 Walls.

Thank you for being part of On The Pen.
This community has grown faster than I ever expected, and I want to explain something clearly about how content will work moving forward.
I will continue to create loads of free content across all platforms. That includes my website, my social channels, and plenty of updates on Substack. That part is…
I refuse to be the kind of person who loses their mind over a delayed train or lets a spilled coffee set the tone for the whole day.
I want to be the one who stays composed, who sees the good even when things don’t go as planned. The kind of person who breathes through the little chaos and still finds beauty in how the day unfolds.
I want to be soft. I want to be steady.

I just realized he didn’t ghost me. I just dropped the bar so low that he tripped.
Good morning.

Hello Readers,
There’s a couple of things I wanted to touch base with you about. The first is that this Substack went over a 100 subscribers a few weeks ago, and many are actively engaged community members—thank you for reading! I am humbled by the support. I appreciate all of my subscribers, paid and unpaid, and it is my intention that …

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.
Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.
I am 82 years old and I have never seen anything as disgusting as the actions of Trump and his henchmen these past 6 weeks. Yesterday’s berating of President Zelenskyy was horrible, a complete failure of diplomacy, an embarrassment to this country. And to think I thought Nixon was bad…
The Dems are laying low. Which is a gigantic mistake. Considering that Musk and Vance are working overtime to take control of the federal government.
Their "philosopher guide" Yarvin reads history, like Putin. And he twists history to justify his anarchic dreams, like Putin. (See the Substack Dark Mirror. Don't subscribe but read Yarvin's mush and realize that VP Vance is a fanboy.)
The Dems are leaving a void that Musk and Vance are filling. They are not objecting/shutting down Musk's requiremen…
Hence the shift away from the working class and labor by the Democratic party of the last many years. And, well, here we are. A day late and a dollar short. The one thing i know for sure is that they are few and we are many.
The problem with this line of thought is that it’s at its base, untrue. The difference being MAGAs promises to the working and middle classes which were never fulfilled, vs. Dems having worked to improve those classes and at the same time become more inclusive. The working and middle classes took these programs for granted. Now it’s FAFO.
So then, it is working class apathy and complacency and not Democratic priority in policy that left them looking for a message, any message which the other party capitalized on?
