Pick up the pen.
Author of Journaling as a Spiritual Practice and Certified Journaling Facilitator — helping women trace the thread of God's grace, one line at a time.
Hi, I'm Allison
I was a verbal processor in need of a way to work through my emotions, gather my thoughts, connect with God, and express my creativity. In the pages of my journal, I've found peace on hard days, clarity in confusing situations, and grace to keep going. I know how easy it is to get caught up in the day-to-day and how life-giving it is to sit down at the end of a long week with my journal.
More about meThe Book
Journaling as a Spiritual Practice outlines my transformative journey from grief and depression to healing and wholeness. The Bible is filled with rich language and images that reveal our triune God—living water, bread, a door, a gentle whisper. Journaling through Scripture's metaphors became my lifeline: a way to process grief, make sense of the impossible, and encounter—and then fully live in—the presence of God once again.
Each chapter weaves my story with journaling examples and prompts, while teaching you how to journal through Scripture. Are you looking for a fresh way to hear and experience God? Be mended by His mercy? Find shelter beneath His wing?
Community
You know the "why" behind journaling, but maybe you feel stuck on the "how." The blank page just feels like too much.
But, what if journaling didn't have to be a solo activity? Around here, we put pen to page in community, filling up our journals and tracing the thread of God's grace in our stories. One line at a time. I believe the battle with the blank page is one worth fighting and that we're better together. In fact, experiencing the life-changing benefits of journaling for myself inspired me to become a certified journaling facilitator and start creating ways to connect with women like you.
Saturday Pages is a no-cost, open-to-all guided journaling group. We meet most Saturday mornings on Zoom. We say hello, I introduce a prompt, we all write in our own journals, and then we save a few minutes at the end to check in with each other. Simple. Profound. Life-giving.
