The Curly Girl



Born and raised in Oklahoma, I'm a true Okie from Muskogee. I grew up in the dirt, and my soul longs to return to the backroads. From T-town to small town I've lived all over our great state, but now rest my boots in the SE corner.




This blog covers my daily life as an adult who doesn't want to adult. Work, home, running, hair, God, friends, and love.



My hair is curly, and I talk about it often. I love it, I hate it, I scrunch it, I straighten it.

I am an amateur gardener with a pale green index finger. I've worked the Co-garden for 3 seasons with my guy. We have some new things planned for 2018, as we combine our lives, and I lose part of my yard to this 'man stuff'. Check back on the reg to see what I'm growing, and what surprises pop up.

God loves me, and you, and I'll remind you of that. You'll see a lot of posts about my faith on here, mostly in relation to some thought I'm focusing too much on that is as deep as a kiddie pool.

I started running in 2011 as a random hobby and have grown to love it. I've made new friends, set new goals, and created new pains while on this journey. I'm registered for the OKC 1/2 again, and will let you know how it's going. I'm trying the Galloway method this year, against my ego


. We'll see... This will be comical. Come along with me, no stretching required.


Come back each week for your favorite post subject, or, read along everyday! You never know what might end up on the pages of That Curl Can Run!

What's the future Wednesday, just give me cherries and tell me I'm pretty, and stuffs

Deep conversations with friends about the future Why do I do this to myself? I really think God puts this stuff on my heart so often because He is trying to get my attention. Why mine? I have no idea, and sometimes, I don't want to find out. How scary (and amazing, and scary) to think that He would want MY attention for anything. Gives me the bleeps, the sweeps, and the creeps. What do I do when I'm confused after talking to God for an hour? Consult my friend that is struggling to understand His plan too! God probably loves those conversations. I really mean that. I know He loves to see us talking about pleasing Him. But....we aren't so good at it. The good news is, He already knows that. It doesn't make it ok to just put Him on the back burner when we are unsure of our next move, but it does make it ok that we are imperfect. Whew! Recently we have been discussing where and upon what we should place our life focus. We, as humans, like to make plans for our futur...

Growing up, self-tanners, ...and doing all the things!!!!

Do you ever make lists of things you need to do? I don't mean things like stopping for gas, or buying a new nail polish. I mean BIG things. Grown up things. The kind of things that you have to do on your lunch break when the business is open. Things that require legal jargon, or measurements, or notaries. I've had a pretty overwhelming list for the past 4 months. I'm finally getting to the end of it, which feels good. Looking back however, I've noticed how much I ran from these tasks. Decisions that can change the course of your life need to be well thought out, and executed with importance. I took the time to research them, organize the plan, and then.....I postponed. I didn't delay because I didn't want to face them. I didn't delay because it caused an emotional downturn. I delayed simply because "I don't wanna!". I wanted my mom to do it, or my teacher, or my big sister. I don't wanna go talk to the mean man behind the desk. I don...

A feeling on a Friday

Sometimes you just have to trust God and go with it. I'm so thankful for the opportunities I've gotten during my life, good and bad, that have shaped me into the chick that I am. I want to radiate the love of Christ through patience, understanding, and hospitality. I think helping and giving are in my bones. I get so excited when I know of an opportunity to lend a hand, lend a shoulder, lend a room, lend a car, whatever it may be. It's what Jesus did, and what He wants us to WANT to do. Oh, but my little mind gets in the way. Don't think for a second that it's easy to give out of lack. It may be true that the less fortunate give a higher percentage of themselves than those well-off, but, that doesn't mean that it is done without worry from time to time. I've tithed BIG amounts, and right before I do, I always worry about that time coming when I'll say "oh, if only I had held on to that money". My stomach knots and my heart races. Then I ...
