Want to go for coffee? ;)

Unexpected things can be beautiful.

​On September 6, of year 2016, I couldn't believe God was moving us to The Dalles. Oregon. I love Oregon, but THE DALLES?! Even though my heart longed for Oregon since 2013, even though I knew we all wanted to be with our extended family, part of me just couldn't fathom it. 

Funny thing? SO many other women have said the same thing about their own lives...
The. Dalles. The Dalles?! What is IN THE DALLES?!!!! Seriously, we ALL came kicking and screaming. 

Now?

Oh. Man. I LOVE this place!!! WE love this place. God has done amazing things here, brought amazing people here, and unique things are happening here!  

I grew up in Lakeside, Oregon, moved with my family to Wadena, Minnesota, in year 2000, got married and moved Colorado Springs, Colorado, in 2013, and then finally moved to The Dalles, Oregon, in 2016!

I had always wanted to live in Colorado Springs, and when I started dating my husband, Josh McLean, I was shocked to find out he lived there because he's from The Dalles, Oregon.
Guess what - he used to say, "I am never living in The Dalles. I grew up in The Dalles." Hehe, well...

In addition to wifehood, I am a mom to my lovely kids, Adriel and Lux, but those sweethearts are the ones who teach me about love and what matters in life every day! They are the ones who truly challenge me to be my better self. I've always made life-altering better decisions because of those kids in different stages of my life.

I enjoy going out and doing things about as much as I enjoy being home and soaking in life and simplicity.
I am a complex person by nature, but it doesn't take much to know me and my "why's". 
I love gardening, shopping, singing, drawing, going to restaurants, dates with my husband, and hanging with my friends.

Loving on and communicating with people has always been this crazy drive within me. Speaking is just one of those ways that it comes out! I cover a wide variety of topics to mixes of audiences and hone it to the central vision and passion of Stirring Embers. I love to think outside the box so I'd love to hear from you to see what you might be thinking as you explore our website! 

      Love, Robyn.
