So apparently, I turned 59 today. Which is wild, considering my inner spirit insists I’m still hovering somewhere around 35 — maybe 45 on a bad back day. I keep waiting for someone to hand me the adulting manual, but after 59 years, I’m convinced it never existed. I used to think by this age,…
by Tina N. Campbell | Scribed in Light There’s something sacred about soil under your nails.It isn’t just dirt—it’s a living story, written in roots and rain. My Texas brood has grown up in that rhythm: hands in the earth, eyes on the horizon, hearts set on wholeness. Watching them now—working the land with purpose,…
by Tina N. Campbell | Scribed in Light I saw her face again today — Gabby Petito — and that ache hit like the first time. We remember her now as a headline, a hashtag, a tragic symbol of everything we didn’t see soon enough. But long before her story trended, she was still breathing,…
