Living on a Prayer

Hello! I'm Emma. My blog is in transition. It used to focus on personal growth and spiritual transformation.
Update November 2020
My life has changed a lot in the last 7 years as I married a prisoner and waited for him to be released. I haven't written on this blog very often since then and much of it is outdated in terms of how I think currently. You can read some of my more recent writing on my site emmaarbogast.com.
