God has used writing in my life in a powerful way. As a word-lover, an author, I’ve learned this, how sometimes we write for publication, yes, but how sometimes we write simply to reconcile. To uncover truths and connect dots in ways that sometimes aren’t possible until we sit quiet with the pressing questions.
Today, I’m passionate about writing as a healing tool. You’ll find Write Where It Hurts a connection point, an invitation to women and conversations that bring healing. We need that, don’t we? A place where can we can drop all the masks and cut through the hard stuff.
Come join us. In our online community here, you’ll find hope, encouragement, and practical tools along with a challenge to live intentionally. Pull up a chair. Grab a spot of tea, or your favorite java. Be encouraged and inspired as you connect with other brave-hearted women who have faced unfathomable trials with courage. Risk the writing challenges, and be rewarded with a fresh perspective of your own.
Writing My Singleness By: Mandy Hale, “The Single Woman” “A woman without a man is still of infinite worth.” ~Kristen McMain Oaks Almost two months ago, my first published book, The Single Woman: Life, Love, & a Dash of Sass hit bookstores across the country. It was a proud moment, for sure. It’s been my […]

One thing I’ve discovered about you, we both want some of the same things: freedom, joy, and a good life. I believe that happens when we fully realize that our lives and voices matter. So for the rest of 2013, we’re celebrating the power of voice, your voice. On a regular basis, we will feature […]
“[This] is going to end up far better than it started out … a glorious finish: a place in which I [God] will hand out wholeness and holiness {Haggai 2:9 MSG).” The smell of hot buttered rum floated through the air, the candle’s light flickering soft. On my couch, I sat propped with oversized pillows, covered by a light tan throw […]
Over a decade and I still remember like yesterday. Turning the key, I opened the door and walked into the quiet stillness of the house. At the threshold one woman—inside, another. Alone. Not a single noise, not one thing out of place, and yet I knew. As if walking directly into a wall, I knew. My […]
Suffering and sorrow are inevitable parts of life. Loved ones die. Dreams crumble. We lose things that were once important to us. The happily-ever-after life we dreamed of is often a far cry from the reality we live. How we respond to loss and change determines what happens to our hearts. It also determines if […]
They are ever so lovely, those voices crooning from behind microphones, bellowing from bodies wrapped in spandex and sequins and sometimes very little at all. Their words are music and their presence seems to grip the hearts of hearers with an ease that makes you cringe when you think of how small your voice sounds […]

My sweet mother-in-law once inscribed a card with the sentiment, “You two are proof that some marriages really are made in heaven.” And while on certain days I would agree with her, on others . . . well, let’s just say that we’ve had disagreements that were not at all angelic. Those fairy tales I grew up […]
Girl-to-girl here? There are those days when I wonder if it hurts more to push through or to watch another night fall. I’m in a unique season. A season of helping one precious to me while my own desires and dreams suspend mid-air. Days of rising {way} too early, cleaning behind little ears, and finding […]
There’s an unclaimed margin in our lives; one where important things stand out.
I help you get there
