A grounded space to find a steady anchor
Hi, I’m Arlene and I’m so glad you found your way to this corner of the internet.
Life can get incredibly heavy, noisy, and overwhelming. I know what it feels like to be emotionally stretched thin, tired, and wondering how to navigate the demands of a chaotic world. But through every shifting season, there is one absolute constant in my life: my faith. My relationship with Jesus Christ is my anchor, my oxygen, and the steady source of strength that keeps me moving forward. Even when moments of weakness knock on the door, His truth quickly carries me over the hurdle.
Out of that foundation, Alabaster & Ash was born. I created this space to share that steady light with you. If you are currently feeling spiritually weary, emotionally drained, or disconnected from who you are, consider this your sanctuary. Together we are learning to bring our overwhelmed spaces to a constant God. Through gentle daily rhythms, mindset renewal, and simple lifestyle shifts, you can rebuild your identity and step into your creative purpose. You don’t have to navigate the transition alone- there is grace for your becoming.
