Welcome to
Storytelling with SJ!
Where the stories are real, the conversations are honest, and life is embraced in all its beautiful, messy moments.
This is a space where I share reflections, lessons, and pieces of my own journey: the moments that challenge us, inspire us, make us laugh, and remind us of the many, complex layers of being human.
Think of this as a little glimpse into my world, where we explore the thoughts, experiences, and stories that shape who we are and how we move through life.
I’m so glad you’re here. Thanks for being part of the journey!
Someday…The Weight Of Waiting
There’s a part of me that cannot, even for a second, fathom that God would create me to do life alone. Like, there’s just no way. For the person I am and the things I value and cherish in life, I don’t believe that I’ll be single for the rest of my life.
But in that same breath, I question myself.
I fall back into those insecurities, the low self-esteem, the “am I unlovable?” (even though I know it’s not true, when I am in moments of despair, those old thought patterns and belief systems start to creep back in).
I question God.

2/22: The Godly Experience That Has Forever Touched My Heart And Soul.
When I say this entire experience was magical, I mean it in every sense you can imagine. To be able to see and find the light within the darkness is a gift that I don’t take for granted. It’s easier to look at life’s experiences and focus on the negative but it takes dedicated inner work to see the good during trying times.
