This past weekend might have been a lot of things for a lot of people, but there was one collective moment most of us shared. It was an awful moment. The kind we’ll replay over and over again. The kind that 20, 30 years from now we’ll still swap, “where were you when..” stories about.… Continue reading

17 Goals for 2020 (List-cember #8)
It’s that time of year again, y’all. I’m going to be honest, this list was not easy to make this year. My 2019 was absolutely CRAZY in terms of busyness, so a lot of my goals were left unattended and it made me very discouraged. For a hot second I thought about not setting any… Continue reading

Trust Me, it Works
When I was six years old, my parents gave me a Nintendo 64 for Christmas.
