Alisha
@myeastofedenTo borrow a line from Drake: I’m more than just a number. But if I had to pick one, I’d be a 7 — not perfect, just honest about it.
I’m Alisha: 30, a Christ-follower, married to my husband Keiron, and mom to our daughter Zoe. East of Eden is where I write weekly about faith, culture, and relationships — a curious mix of the relevant and reverential, covering everything from religion and politics to pop culture to the quieter, more personal stuff.
I’m slightly off-kilter (but aren’t all “ar-teeests”?) and not your average girl. Hope you enjoy the rantings — don’t take the sarcasm too seriously, and know that comments are always welcome. Very welcome… ahem, HINT, HINT, HINT.
