words.... from me to you

I am glad you are here

my name is Jess.

i am

South African

Living in Switzerland

A Human

Married to a human

Mama of two little humans

Still learning how to adult

A lover of Jesus

Living in the miraculous ordinary

Looking where the light pours in

This is for the women who want to be more real with themselves and then with others
This is for the person who wants to be passionate again
For those looking for ways to live their ordinary day better
Who want to dance tectonically in their kitchens and corridors

This is for the women who have made a life in a country they didn’t grow up in
For the people who have learned a new language and live in it
For the people who navigate what their identity hinges on again and again
For those whose hearts seem to be relentlessly seeking

For those who want to be seen
The ones who want more but often feel stuck
For those who look where the light pours in
For those whose mental health relies on routines and tools and yet they know Joy

For those who are in the small child phase and all the intensity that comes with it
For those living in or holding on to the hope of Jesus Christ
This is for one of those people, for all of them

But mostly, this is for me

Because I need to write, to be honest, to find passion, to navigate my identity, to live my ordinary days better and to look where the light pours in.
