He was the failed foster I came home to during college. I remember walking through the door and seeing a little Jack Russell and beagle mix standing there. We both looked confused at one another, one of us a little more confused, and the other very eager to sniff. Of course, I loved him immediately, and then I asked the obvious question. Where did this little dog come from?

Perhaps a controversial opinion, but I’d take an almond croissant over a chocolate one.

During my senior year of college, an 12 am artist date led me back to creativity, cooking, and faith. Inspired by The Artist’s Way, I wandered into a library, rediscovered my love for culinary arts, and created a mango sticky rice parfait that taught me something about God’s timing. A reflective story about inner child healing, late-night creativity, and the beauty of artist dates.
