Hello and Welcome!

I'm Alexis! I am your classic 20-something-year-old striving to love God, my family, and those I encounter to the best of my ability. This blog is a documentation of my victories and shortcomings on this journey. I want to show you the most authentic self and hope along the way we can inspire and encourage each other on this path of sainthood.

I created this little space on the internet to share thoughts and create a community of people running to Heaven. I felt this call in prayer and one day finally said YES!

If you are over being mediocre and instead want to live up to your God-given potential, then you are in the right place!

I was born and raised right outside of Des Moines, Iowa. I have an amazing family that encourages me to pursue my passions in life and enjoy the journey along the way. I am Roman Catholic and love the beauty of the faith. I have a desire to go to Heaven and want to take everyone I encounter there with me. I know the journey to Heaven is hard, but it is even harder if you don't have a community to encourage and challenge you along the way. I love writing about my passions and sharing that along the way.

When I am not creating content, you'll probably find me running around. I am a Division III NCAA cross country and track runner (5k all the way baby!) I am currently studying PR & media studies at Loras College to help small businesses utilize digital media. I'm currently engaged and very excited to step into my (big V!!) Vocation!

I enjoy a nice cup of coffee (hot or iced), some classic Harry Potter (movies or books), Kansas City Chiefs football (not a bandwagon), being in adoration by myself (YES!), and having a very detailed to-do list. I think if you've made it this far we should be friends, right? Feel free to follow me on Instagram (@thealexisjean) or join my email list! Let's figure life out together, shallwe

Single Ladies, I’m Not Asking You to Put Your Hands Up

Women, we need to talk. Why is it that when someone says their relationship status is single, we quickly try to solve the “problem”?

The Call I was Ignoring

Have you ever received a call from an unknown number and ignored it? We have all been there and done that! But I was doing it to God...

Chewy Ginger Snaps

Food is like a time machine for taste buds. These cookies take me back circa 2010.
