Hey there!
I’m Allison
I am a 20-something Christian woman living in the northern Midwest. I am energized by hikes in the woods, finding poetry in ordinary life, and learning about my Creator and His world. I write what’s on my heart- usually snacking on dark chocolate while I do so.

” The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”
John 1:5
