Light Still Finds Me

Powerless Editions

A quick, tender note before we begin.

I’m writing this entirely from my phone, in the middle of a no-power stretch, so please forgive any typos, odd spacing, or places where the formatting feels a little… feral.

This isn’t polished. It’s real-time, heart-first, and coming to you exactly as I am.

Because of the circumstances, all posts are free until my power is restored.

Consider it my way of saying thank you for being here, for showing up, for supporting me when life feels unplugged and uncertain.

Your presence matters more than perfect paragraphs. And I’m deeply grateful you’re reading along anyway.

Let's Get To It…Light Still Finds Me

Even in the middle of this no-power dilemma, there are still such positive, beautiful moments I can sit with in the dark.

*Details coming soon*

But first, I need to pause and honor something that held me up when things felt heavy and uncertain.

I am surrounded by a support system that keeps showing up in ways that let me breathe a little easier. And this week, that support showed up very practically.

Today, while at work, I discovered my tire was flat again.

Yes, the same tire that got plugged the other day.

And no, not plugged in a sexy, hot way.

Life really keeps us humble.🤔

Thanks to my community, I had the funds to get a used tire and safely make it home.

That alone felt like a small miracle in the middle of everything else.

And then… life went and did what life does best.

I got a call from my oldest twin daughter, Sam. Short for Samantha.

And suddenly the noise of the day faded…

She has a wedding coming up in May.

I was fully prepared, heart and soul, to be the mother of the bride.

Standing proudly. Supporting quietly. Watching her step into her next chapter.

But she had something else in mind…

She told me she needed one more braidesmaid to complete her fairy tale wedding.

(And yes that is exactly what she is planning)

Anyways, she said she thought about it and she knew she didn’t want anyone else.

She wanted her momma.

Ya’ll… In the midst of chaos. In the dark. In the uncertainty.

This landed like a soft, glowing truth straight to my heart.

As I tried to take it in, I told her yes. Of course I did. I told her I would be honored.

Because I am. Deeply. Fiercely. With tears threatening and my heart opening up in the best way.

It reminded me how special life really is.

• How love shows up when you least expect it.

• How even when things feel unplugged, uncertain, and messy, meaning still finds its way through.

So tonight, I sit with this light. Grateful. Grounded.

And I am reminded that even when the house is dark, my life is not.

If nothing else, this season is teaching me this.

Even when everything feels unstable, life still finds ways to offer beauty.

• Sometimes it’s community.

• Sometimes it’s safety.

• Sometimes it’s a phone call that reminds you who you are to the people who matter most.

I’m holding this moment close. Letting it be enough for today.

Thank you for sitting with me in the dark, for reading my words as they come, and for being part of my world in this tender, imperfect moment.

Light is coming. And then the heat.

Until then, your presence is already doing its work.
