I’m glad you’re here! I’m Emily.

About Me

I am an Episcopal priest, doctoral student, and mom to two school aged kids and two dogs who keep me active, busy, and humble! I married my college sweetheart, and we have enjoyed thirteen years together across six states and two countries. In my free time, I read, run, and recently discovered the joy of making sourdough bread.

About this Newsletter

I am no stranger to writing—I write sermons, academic papers, and church communications often—but sometimes I have reflections and ideas that extend beyond the umbrella of religion and spirituality. I still write about faith here (and write a prayer nearly every week), but I also explore other topics: parenting, aging, working motherhood, books and TV shows, and other things I love. It is a mixed bag—and I hope that is fun for both you and me!
