One life. On purpose. That’s what my vita (vee-tah) is all about — living every single day as if it really were by design. Purpose gives meaning, and knowing my meaning changes my life, and thus my life can change the world. So I’m here to live on purpose and love on people. And have a sick amount of fun while doing so!

My name is Angela Jackson and welcome to my life! I’m a lover of Chicago, a discoverer of local coffee shops, and this is my space to release pent-up thoughts as they come to me about my life from my perspective. I have a past, I live in the present, and I get excited about the future. I believe people are really important and am really passionate about seeing broken, vulnerable people be protected, empowered and showered with grace. And last time I checked, that includes all of us.

I won’t try to explain everything and solve all these first-world-problems, but instead I want to simply share my story of life, a life that’s probably not too far off from yours or anyone else’s. I’m confident that I’m here on purpose (because, quite frankly, I’m here), and until I’ve exhausted all of life’s experiences I will keep sharing. Cheers!
