There is More
Since I have been lucky enough to continue going into the office for work, I am among the (far fewer) commuters in the morning and afternoon. And lately on my way home, I have been taking the freeway a few exits past my own, and then driving up and down the side streets around my… Continue reading

My Google Search History (Part 6)
If I’m being honest, I truly thought I was “getting better” at not hoarding internet windows on my phone. I don’t know what gave me this impression—aside from perhaps blind optimism—but when I lost an internet window I was looking at because it got shuffled into the 67 other open windows, it was clear that… Continue reading

If You Have Time to Kill, Take These Personality Tests (Part Two)
One of my favorite ways to kill time—quarantine or not—is to take personality tests. I love unlocking new sections of my mind, gaining a new understanding of my psyche and defending myself against results that seem too dead on to be possible. So, if you are looking to get to know yourself (or your friends… Continue reading

Talking to Your Fear
I was recently listening to Rachel Hollis’ podcast, Rise, and she had author Elizabeth Gilbert on to talk about fear. If you’ve been around this blog before, you’ll know that fear is a pretty common topic, as it is a very prominent part of my life—though not always in a negative way. I find that… Continue reading

Strange Things I’ve Heard My Sister Say While She was Playing Animal Crossing
My sister works hard. She has a tough job that keeps her mind (and schedule) constantly busy and so when her workday comes to an end, it’s no surprise that she looks for ways to decompress.

How to Make 2020 Memorable (In A Good Way)
This past weekend I was sitting on the beach with some family, listening to music and watching the sunset, when my cousin Amanda posed a question. I know that 2020 hasn’t been great, but I think we should each try and think of something that we’d like to do by the end of the year… Continue reading

Thank You For Your Magic
I am currently reading “Untamed” by Glennon Doyle and I just wanted to share this little blurp from the book that inspired me: “Each of us was born to bring forth something that has never existed: a way of being, a family, an idea, art, a community—something brand-new. We are here to fully introduce… Continue reading

For Anyone Else Who is Opening and Closing and Scrolling and Sighing
I wrote this a little while back, but it has been resonating with me lately so I wanted to share. It’s 7:00 p.m. I’m alone, my roommates aren’t home from work yet, and I’m lying on my bed with a towel in my hair. I unlock my phone and I open Instagram. I scroll… Continue reading

Getting Over the Big Bump
Up until I was nine years old, my family lived in a blue house, in a neighborhood close to our church. My dad had bought the house with a few of his friends before he met my mom, and so by the time they got married and I came along, we were very much part… Continue reading
