200 Day Time Capsule Blog #7
I will admit, I held on to this one for a little longer than usual. But I couldn’t help it. I wanted to wait until today because tomorrow, June 15th, is the day when things are making a big push towards “normal.” Baseball stadiums are opening to full capacity, mask mandates are disappearing, people are… Continue reading

The Year of “Faith”
It is always an interesting experience to sit down and write about my word of the year, from the other side of the year. When I first learn my word, I’m excited, but often worried about what’s to come. And then in January of the following year, having lived through the ups and downs of… Continue reading

200 Day Time Capsule Blog #6
It should come as a surprise to no one that this time capsule is a little grim, mostly because it’s been 200 days and things are not exactly radically better than they were for our last letter.

A Call for Advice Before I Turn 30
I have exactly three weeks left of being 29. Which means I have exactly three weeks left of my 20’s. Which is…well, I haven’t decided yet.

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

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

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
