You may be asking, “Erin, why do you write about such a wide, and seemingly unrelated range of topics?
And to that I would say that, yes, I agree. It is an odd conglomeration, isn’t it? But then, that’s what my life has been! I’ve never been one to sit still or settle in for too long without craving some sort of variety. Which I suppose is why I love my current job so much. My life is never dull as my job description and daily tasks are apt to change at the drop of a hat. My family and church experiences have been equally unique; being the good home-schooled family who ended up with divorced parents, or starting off in my early life by being part of a home church rather than a traditional one – all these things have provided me with the perspective I have today, however unconventional. Which is why I resonate so much with the Switchfoot lyric that became the name of my website; I’m a needle girl in a haystack world.
Check out below to learn a bit more about me and what I do/like if you wish.
Shoot me an email! Or, even better let’s connect on one of my social media platforms! I’d love to hear from you 🙂
Enjoy your journey!
Erin
