I recently spent a week in the Florida Keys. I’m sharing my experience right here. If you have been wondering about self-regulation, this post addresses my own experience of dysregulation.

I just returned from a week-long vacation in the Florida Keys, Key West to be exact. What an amazing place to visit! I can’t put my finger on it, but it is a unique, fun, active, restful and quirky place all wrapped up together. People watching was next level.

Hello, my name is Krista, and I’m a deconstructing Christian.

If you are anything like me, you might be feeling the intensity of this wonderful, maddening world we are living in right now.

By the time Sunday arrived I didn’t feel like being around people, let alone going anywhere. We turned on YouTube and scrolled through some church services but ended up turning them off. The services just hit different this year.

Hello and Welcome to Spring! It seems weird talking about spring when winter in the high country of Arizona has been mild. That might hit a nerve for some of you, especially my friends to the east who have experienced quite a winter.

I decided to practice Advent this year, not just receive devotional emails each day, but light the candles and really dig into the significance of each week’s theme. Hope was the theme word for the first week.

Until it wasn’t. About 18 months ago, I went back to school. Spiritual Direction School. I have loved every minute of it. It’s been challenging. It’s been engaging. It’s been life-long relationship building with my cohort of fellow students. It’s been a wonderful experience. In March, I will receive my certificate and officially be a spiritual director. I can’t wait!
