always seeking beauty. meaning. love. life

Take a journey through Lent.
In Ashes to Glory, my hope is to guide you through the sacred season of Lent with 40 days of reflections that inspire transformation, renewal, and hope. From the humility of Ash Wednesday to the triumph of Easter morning, this book invites you to slow down, reflect deeply, and reconnect with the heart of God.
Through thoughtful meditations, Scriptural insights, and practical spiritual practices, Ashes to Glory explores profound themes like repentance, the gift of tears, creating space for God, and the eternal care of Christ. Each reflection offers a moment to pause, re-center, and encounter the love and grace of God in a fresh way.
Whether you’re walking through Lent for the first time or seeking a deeper spiritual experience, Ashes to Glory will encourage and equip you to embrace the journey from ashes to the glory of resurrection.
