One blog post at a time.
The Last Time We Never Knew Was the Last I was scrolling through Facebook the other day. Yes, I do that a lot. But as I was scrolling, I stopped on a post showing one of those incredibly high, incredibly fast roller coasters. My first thought was, Wow, that looks…
When I find new recipes for eggplant and lentils to try, it’s always fun. I also enjoy making my own up or combining them.…

Hi, I’m Gwyn.
I’m a yoga teacher, cancer survivor, and someone who has learned that healing is rarely a straight path. Through the years, I’ve faced, unexpected health challenges and now an autoimmune disease and seasons that tested my faith in ways I never imagined. Yet through it all, God has faithfully met me with strength, hope, and grace.
I created this blog in 2016 to encourage anyone who feels like healing isn’t possible. Today, it has grown into a place where I share honest conversations about living well with chronic illness, embracing midlife, practicing gentle movement, nourishing our bodies, and finding joy even when life doesn’t go according to plan.
You’ll find encouragement, healthy recipes worth making, simple wellness tips, yoga, reflections on faith, and stories from my own journey. My hope is that when you leave this space, you feel a little less alone and a little more hopeful.
Whether you’re navigating health challenges, searching for balance, or simply looking for encouragement in this season of life, I’m so glad you’re here.
Welcome. I hope you’ll stay awhile.
