#ShoutYourStrong
Throughout our lives, possibly even multiple times a day, we will tell ourselves, “I can’t.” It’s too far, it’s too high, I’m too weak, I just can’t do it. Well, to put it lightly, we’re wrong, so wrong. The truth is, we can do anything, you can do anything. In today’s world, we are not Continue reading

How to: See Portland in One Day
So it was 9:14 pm on a Friday and we’d just arrived in Portland, Oregon. It had been a long (fun, beautiful, delirious, 14 ½ hour) drive and we wanted nothing more than sleep. Why were we here? Pancakes. If you read any of my posts about my trip to Hawaii last summer (especially this Continue reading

How to: Road Trip
Have you ever watched one of those movies with an epic road trip and suddenly felt like there was piece of you missing that could only be discovered on the open road? Are you someone that, even with that deep seeded desire, has no idea where to start so you just hit the pine and Continue reading

Dear Thomas, Love the 2115’s
I’m going to be honest, it wasn’t easy hearing the news about your car accident. It was just a normal day, an ordinary Sunday afternoon, until suddenly it wasn’t. Suddenly there were phone calls and texts and articles online and they all seemed to say something, but not enough. They said you were okay, but Continue reading

I’m Not Strong “For A Girl”
“Sign here please,” said the man behind the counter. I took the pen he offered with a nod and scribbled my sorry excuse of a signature on the paper in front of me. Then, sticking my keys in my back pocket, I thanked him and reached for the package I came to pick up. “Here, Continue reading

Size Strong: Size is a Number, Strength is a Feeling
When I was in high school I—like most teenagers—was extremely self-conscious about my body. I didn’t have the same stick thin build as my friends, and when I saw the way that type of frame was admired, I felt like my own body type was, for lack of a better term: wrong.

How Lucky Are We to Hate That?
I wake up with a stretch and yawn, only to find that my alarm didn’t go off and I’m now late to work. I hate that. I get dressed to go out to dinner and I spill makeup on myself and have to change. I hate that. I’m sitting in traffic and a guy in Continue reading

5 Questions We Need to Stop Asking
If there is one thing I love, it’s being in the loop. I’m all about knowing what’s what and who’s who. But if you’re a Sherlock like me, you are probably guilty of asking some questions over and over, most of which should be put to rest. Here are a few: 1) Did you Continue reading

The Simplest Kind of Happy
“We have to go,” I say to my sister as I wait by the garage door. “Coming!” she shouts back from her room upstairs. It was a Thursday and, as always, we were running late to the bowling league we joined with our family. “Did you eat anything?” I ask as she comes down the Continue reading
