This life is real and complicated, messy, colorful, good, exhausting, and exhilaratingâoften simultaneously.
Itâs easy to feel overburdened by lifeâs demands. Looking out into the world as well as under the roof of our home may cause us to question, âHow did we get here? And how will we get through?â

These stories will stay with you as you strive to love and to love well, even whenâand especially whenâitâs hard. Whether you are widening your family circle or just trying to get through the day, Jillana welcomes you to her table, offering you an anchor of hope to hang on to as you navigate your own love-stretched life.
