Hello there! I’m the author of this little blog here. This is my place of bookish ramblings, bits of poetry, reviews, random thoughts, and the like. I’ve a passion for stories and for finding beauty in the ordinary. Michelangelo once prayed – “Lord, make me to see your glory in everything” – and writing, I suppose, is my way of examining the world to look for His glory.

I’ve a strange passion for all things literary and caffeinated – if you haven’t got that from the blog name yet. And, as a new wife, a growing passion for the quiet tidings that make up a lovely and godly home.

When I’m not busy writing for school or at my barista job, you’ll most likely find me writing (not for school) at the same coffee shop (what a wildly inconsistent life I live – eh?). And when I’m not doing either of the above-mentioned things you’ll find me with my wonderful husband, with friends, rambling on about Tolstoy and the good life, shopping at antique stores far and wide, scouring used bookstores, attempting to be more housewifely, playing piano, teaching piano, rambling through the woods of west Georgia, missing the foothills of Southern California, or looking for wildflowers on the side of the road.

I pray that this little space might remind you of the beauty of our Savior Jesus.

“One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is dishonest in much.” Luke 16:11

“But the effect of her being on those around her was incalculably diffusive: for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.” Middlemarch
