In A Heart on Fire, we journey together through 100 art pieces and entries, divided into categories I refer to as the Ten Pillars of a Life of Good Work: ten different values that make up a small part of the belief systems that collectively prop us up and hold us together. The values of love, creativity, justice,
hope, awareness, community, consistency, empathy, honesty, and redemption are a
few of the pillars that hold our lives up and fuel our pursuits of
human flourishing. It's on this firm foundation that we discover what we were created for, solidify what we stand for, and pave the way to a life of sustainable, everyday advocacy while still experiencing rest, joy, and fulfillment.
From jarring headlines to political polarization, we spend our days doomscrolling through social media hot takes, dodging the news cycle, and feeling disappointed in ourselves when we just can't keep up with all of the causes we care about. Not to mention our families, hobbies, day jobs, mental health, and more. How in the world do we hold it all?
Maybe we're not supposed to.
What if sustainable, everyday advocacy is found in holding what we're called to? Instead of jumping from spark to spark of momentary action...
can i just say this out loud?
Being an advocate can feel so overwhelming these days.
what if we lived with
a heart on fire?
go a bit easier on yourself, friend.
A life of good work isn't built overnight.
The sturdiest and most durable buildings aren't created by accident–they're often the result of months and years of meticulous preparation and
construction, built on a firm foundation. Similarly, a life of good requires knowing what we stand for. Our values and beliefs are laid brick-by-brick, cemented together by an unwavering
dedication to living those values out loud. They are like the logs that we lay at the base of our hearts' flames.

I wrote these books for:
The newly activated justice-seeker who wants to embark on a lifelong journey of pursuing liberation for all
The passionate empath who wants to move from being overwhelmed with the world's issues to being an everyday advocate who influences the community they're planted in
The disillusioned changemaker whose hope is fading and could use a spark to keep moving forward
The curious and caring heart who wants to discover how to make a difference in the world in their own unique way
