Welcome to the Flock: Finding Our Way Together
Hello, and welcome. A change to my blog is starting now.
If you have stumbled upon this corner of the internet, I believe it isn’t by accident. Whether you are a fellow bird lover, a person of faith, or someone navigating the quiet ache of being childless in a world built for families, I want to say: you are welcome here.
Today is Sunday, a day I always set aside for reflection and gratitude. As I sit here writing this, I am watching my cockatoos and parrots spread their wings. To me, the gift of flight is a daily miracle straight from God. Providing a safe space where these magnificent creatures can fly, live, and thrive brings me a profound sense of purpose. They are my joy, my companions, and my family.
For a long time, living as a childless person has felt lonely. We are constantly surrounded by family-centric advertisements, kid-focused neighborhoods, and holidays that seem to amplify what we don't have. It can be incredibly hard to find your footing when your life doesn’t match the traditional script.
But I have learned that God’s creations offer immense healing. My birds have taught me that a "nest" doesn't have to look like everyone else's to be completely full of love.
I started Flock Instead of Family because I want to reach out to anyone who feels left out of the cultural conversation. I want to use the joy of my animals to build a bridge. In this space, we will talk about the beauty of nature, the comfort of faith, and how to build a life rich in meaning, connection, and alternative blessings.
Thank you for pausing your day to fly with me for a moment. You are not alone.
