The other day, my boyfriend, Chris, and I had a conversation about our less-than-desirable habits. The one of mine that I discussed with him was the fact that I just pick up my phone if I'm bored. I don't have a particular reason to be scrolling through one app or another, it's just the fact …

In My Element
I've recently been in a season of life when everything just seems to flow. After a few months of start and stop roadblocks in different areas of life, it's so refreshing.
