5 Things I’d Do if I Were Rich
When you have a lot of time to yourself, especially a lot of uninterrupted time that you might otherwise be spending out and about, or procrastinating because you have the option to be out and about, you have a lot of time to think. And one thing that tends to happen to me when I… Continue reading

An (Understandably) Interrupted Weekend at Spring Training
Last year my family and I took our first trip to Spring Training in Arizona. Almost immediately upon arriving home, we started researching details for our second (and hopefully yearly) trip. By July, we had our Airbnb booked, by January we had all of our game tickets purchased, and by February I had a countdown… Continue reading

My Quest to Find a Morning Routine (Part 1)

Thank You, Kobe.

The kind that 20, 30 years from now we’ll still swap, “where were you when..” stories about.… Continue reading

For My Fellow Worms
While going through some of the old documents on my computer, I came across this little story. I think it was my hope that one day it would become a children’s book, but that never transpired, and now it’s just been sitting in folder oblivion for a few years, so I thought I would share… Continue reading

I Got My Wisdom Teeth Out (Again)
Fun fact about me: I have wonky teeth. I wore braces throughout most of high school, and then after getting them off, I had one tooth go so rogue that I had to put them back on for a year in college. When I was about 15 years old, I went in to get my… Continue reading

The Year of “Shine”
As a final wrap up of 2019, I wanted to share with you my word of the year. Since 2015, I have found a faith-based word to focus on each year. In these last five years (!!) I have had: trust, give, patience, surrender, and then for this year I got shine. Every word has… Continue reading
