Echoes & Embers

Every journey leaves behind traces — moments, memories, and lessons that still glow long after the flame fades. Echoes & Embers is a deeply personal chapter of MScapades — a space where poetry and reflection meet faith and resilience. It’s about finding light in the quiet, meaning in the in-between, and grace in the hardest parts of our stories.

Here, I write about love and loss, aging and caregiving, memory and faith. These pieces are inspired by life with multiple sclerosis, by my mother’s journey with dementia, and by the enduring hope that God’s presence remains steady through every season. Each poem and reflection is an echo of what once was — and an ember of what continues to burn within.

Explore these reflections as I honor the beauty in brokenness, the strength in stillness, and the flicker of faith that refuses to go out. Join me in this quiet space, where words become light — and even the softest glow can warm the soul.
