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

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

Hate Will Never be a Prize
In a standard marathon, there are thousands of participants, from thousands of backgrounds, with thousands of stories to tell. In the early mornings of race day, they gather at the starting line, grouped together by their approximate pace, each person stretching, praying, pacing, dancing—anything that will prepare them for the journey they are about to… Continue reading

It’s Not “My Year” but it’s Something
Over the weekend I saw this post on social media and it was very encouraging to me. It talked about how so many of us spent our last few moments of 2019 praying, hoping, wishing, demanding that 2020 was going to be “our year.” It was supposed to be a year of opportunity and success.… Continue reading

Hello and welcome back to another edition of All the Good Things, a monthly series where I highlight all the good things (get it?) that happen in each 30-day (or so) span. I hope it can be a reminder that amongst all the well known bad, there is a lot of undercover good happening in our world. Let’s dive… Continue reading

I Say Sh*t 17 Times in this Post, But it’s Upbeat, I Promise
I recently read the book Sorry I’m Late, I Didn’t Want to Come by Jessica Pan, which chronicles her year of saying “yes” to things in order to help her step out of her introvert comfort zone. It was a hilarious and relatable book that was full of valuable lessons, but one in particular stood… Continue reading

31 Good Things that Happened in January
I usually put the same intro before my monthly “good things” posts, but this one felt a little different. January was rough. And it seemed to last way longer than 31 days. But even amongst all the bad, as always, there were good things. And even though I might have dragged my feet a little bit… 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
