Both of my parents died of AIDS.
Decades later, I’m still learning how faith and grief coexist — how healing happens in small, sacred moments.
Read my latest Between Sundays column: “A Divine Appointment.”

I’m a bit surprised I wasn’t invited to Jeff Bezo’s wedding given how much I’ve single-handedly contributed over the years to his wealth accumulation via my Amazon order history. #JeffBezos #venicewedding
New column out now in Salvation South: The Garden Manager 🌱
It’s about faith, forgiveness—and that time I lost my cool over some garden pots. (Spoiler: grace is harder than gardening.)

Big news: I have a monthly column in Salvation South called “Between Sundays.” It’s about faith, aging, family and all the holy mess that happens when no one’s wearing their church clothes. I would be honored for you to read and comment. salvationsouth.com/faith-bet…

My latest is about Linda Strom, a minister who’s spent over 50 yrs helping incarcerated women reclaim their lives. This piece is tapestry woven w my story, Linda's, and Karla Faye Tucker—a death row inmate whose spiritual awakening made headlines. salvationsouth.com/the-faith…
“It is as if journalism is no longer about Get the Story but about Meeting People Where They Are and helping them navigate through a confusing world. But do you really think current editors know where people are? It all feels presumptuous.”

"Like a shoreline reshaped by a hurricane, my heart underwent a radical change now that AIDS had faces and names I knew so well. These men were now my friends and watching their slow, agonizing deterioration gutted me." buff.ly/3V5bftW

Replying to @dikeough
@dikeough comes at memoir as any good writer should: with reporting, humility, and rumination. I can't wait for "Not From a Nice Family," the multimedia project she's shopping. For now: Many lessons to learn in this affecting piece for @Sojourners. sojo.net/magazine/june-2024/…
Check out this thought-provoking article I recently wrote for @Sojourners. The piece delves into my personal journey with faith, exploring how childhood beliefs and experiences shaped my perception of God and salvation.
