Meet Miraynda

Hi friends and welcome to the CMW Blog!

Let me start off by saying that I’m so glad you’re here and I want to take a minute to tell you a little bit about myself.
Not going to lie, I totally feel like I’m in in the first day of class when the teacher makes you say your name, and one fun fact about yourself. Ha, always was a moment I dreaded because complete introvert over here! But I’d like to think that I’ve evolved since then, so here it goes!

Hi, I’m Miraynda and I’m so excited to be writing for Common Mission Women!

I met Katie a few years ago when I joined her small group, and since then I’ve been so grateful for her friendship! I was so excited for her when she launched CMW, and honored when she asked me to be a part of the blog!

​I love that CMW is all about empowering women and supporting women in need in our community!

To get to know me a little better, I thought I’d share five facts about myself.

1. I just became a member of the motherhood tribe and boy is it the most challenging but rewarding job I’ve ever had. We welcomed our son, Hudson, into the world in September and he’s truly everything we’ve ever dreamed of. I’ve been soaking in all the newborn cuddles and mastering how to rock the spit-up stains :)
2. I actually have a lifestyle blog of my own called, Soul on Fire, that I started a few years ago. Writing has always been my creative outlet and I love to share my heart with the world especially in the hopes that other women can relate to my story!
3. I’ve been an RN for six years now and wow does writing that make me feel really old! I started out working in Mother-Baby and am currently working in a Pregnancy Resource Center. OB has always been my speciality because I just love the babies!
4. I have been married to my college sweetheart for 3.5 years but we have been together for 11 years this month! We met our freshman year of college and have been through many different stages of life together but I think our current season of navigating parenthood (aka winging it) might be my favorite one yet!
5. I am a Joanna Gaines wanna be and like to think that I’m making a farmhouse out of our cozy ranch home in Wheaton. I live for neutrals and am quickly learning how that doesn’t necessarily go hand in hand with a baby but a girl can try right?

Again, I’m so excited to be contributing to the CMW YOUR STORY Blog alongside Michelle. Here at Common Mission Women, we’re all about empowering women and the "Your Story" blog will do just that. We’re here to share inspiration, spread encouragement, lift one another up, and strive to be the very best versions of ourselves! With lots of fun and a GIRL POWER mindset along the way! Stay tuned for some exciting posts coming soon!!
