ABOUT

author, educator, blogger.

I pray the words in this space will cover you and encourage you. On the good days, the hard days, the lovely days, and the days where the rain just won’t quit. Welcome to a place where you can always come as you are, with a cup of coffee between your hands, and find yourself known, loved, and seen through writing. 

For over a decade, I’ve been filling this space with words for the brokenhearted and the defeated, for the hopeful and crazy dreamers, for the ones who are torn and the ones who are planting down roots, and for the ones who are looking for God and those who have found something worth holding onto. 

No matter who you are, or where you are going, I hope you know: it matters you’re here.

At the age of 22, I moved to New York City for what I thought was a dream job and ended up spiraling into a deep depression. As a way to cope with the sadness, I began writing letters on the 4 Train and leaving them around the city for others to find— bookstores, coffee shops, libraries, everywhere. Today, I run a global organization called More Love Letters, inspired by those first letters to strangers in the lonely city.

I am the author of 3 bestselling books, a TED Speaker, and an online educator teaching others how to establish important disciplines within their lives. Words are still my everything and nothing fires me up more than teaching others how to become more disciplined so they can make space for what matters most to them in life. I’m on a mission, and partnering with God daily, to be a light in the growing conversation about mental illness. 

I’m a proud New Englander living in Atlanta (that’s a longgggg story) with husband Lane and our little girl Novalee. You can find us trying out new restaurants across the city, getting dangerously cutthroat over playing Battleship, playing at the park, and cozying up to watch a thriller (or Moana if Novi gets to pick) with our rescue pup Tuesday.

I hope this space finds you and keeps you. I hope you discover the words you need to read. No matter who you are, or where you are going, I hope you know you’re never alone and that it matters (more than you can imagine) that you’re here.

tying you closer than most,

hb.
