Hey friends,  I’m Emily.  I’m a Christian, the wife of a Mexican immigrant turned American citizen, the mother of three beautiful, strange little humans, and the director of a nonprofit focused on mental wellness.  I like to write, and I like to share my observations and opinions, so here we are.

I believe in a God who gets involved to show mercy and love in a world that has gone mad, even when it hurts, and even when we can’t see it.  I believe we were made to reflect that mercy and love to one another, and sometimes I write about it.

I am an advocate for suicide prevention and compassionate immigration reform, and sometimes I write about that.

But sometimes I just write about potty talk and facial hair and my unsuccessful attempts to be an organized parent.  Because, why not?
