Hi there, I’m Olivia. I’m just trying to do all my things with a spirit of joy and purpose. I bet you are, too.
I started this blog in 2013 as a way to document my life as a teacher, a newlywed, and a new mom. A couple of years later, during a battle with postpartum depression, I took a step back from everything that wasn’t an absolute necessity in my life; sadly, that included this blog.
I learned a lot about saying “no” to doing all the things.
But you know what?
I still have a lot of important, beautiful delectables on my spinning plates. Things that aren’t negotiable like my health, my family, my work, my home, my leisure, and my prayer life.
I learned that I can’t do all the things well, but I still desire to do all my things well.
And that’s where I am now. Striving to learn, grow, and serve in ways that will help me be who God created me to be. To be and become the most alive version of myself.
Are you trying to do all your things well, too?
Then I’m so glad you’re here. Because we shouldn’t—we can’t—do this alone.
We were created to journey up the mountain of life together. An experienced mountain climber knows the value of a buddy or crew. They acknowledge the need to be properly equipped for the journey. So we’re here to be in your corner, to be a part of your caravan.
To the Heights encourages and helps women to foster their health, happiness, and holiness by offering relevant resources and a community to keep them company along the way.
In the spirit of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, To the Heights seeks to aid women as they strive to do all their things, to live like Christ, and to saturate every area of their lives with the joy of knowing His love.
That means you can read about everything from the deep and existential to the light and enjoyable. We talk faith, books, vocation, natural living, mission, culture, friendship, physical and mental health, personality types, beauty, simple living, service, budgeting, and more.
Pour a cup of hot tea or reheat that cup of coffee from this morning and stay a while! I’d love to chat with you about what matters most (and even what doesn’t).
