Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation September Challenge
Hello and Happy September! Hopefully you are at home or on vacation or somewhere other than work right now, blissfully living out your three day weekend and pretending that it’s going to last forever. (Fingers crossed it does.) Personally I think September is the best month of the year, not only because I was born… Continue reading

Notes I Found on My iPhone
Creativity and inspiration (to write, in my case) can sometimes be slippery fish. Sometimes you’ll put in all the effort to be productive—you’ll clear time, sit down at your computer, stretch your fingers and say, “okay! I’m ready! Bring me the words!” and then, nothing. That cursor will blink and blink and your document will… Continue reading

Don’t Suffer
A fun fact about me is that I’m cold—all the time. I have two sweaters on my office chair at work and I almost never leave the house without some sort of extra layer, even in the dead of summer. My friends and family have (mostly) come to accept this—they only mock me half of… Continue reading

What’s the Point?
Have you ever been so caught up in the monotony of the day-to-day routines and stresses that you found yourself frustrated and exhausted and wondering what are we even doing here?

Everything in Moderation

If You Have Time to Kill, Take These Personality Tests
This past weekend my sister and I dove into the world of personality tests. While I like to think we know each other pretty well, and we know ourselves even better, you can never really know enough, you know? Us humans are complicated things, so it’s nice to gain some insight into why we might… Continue reading

BAWAGA: A New Mindset
I talk a lot about inspiration on this blog. Whether it be my own ideas, lessons I’ve learned from others, or words and phrases I’ve picked up anywhere and everywhere else. I’ve talked about mantras and mottos that carry me through rougher days (i.e. It’s Not Time to Worry Yet and Just Live the Day)… Continue reading

Just a Reminder that You Matter
Over the weekend, Disney Channel actor Cameron Boyce died. He was only 20 years old. While I wasn’t familiar with all of Cameron’s work, I had seen him in Grown Ups and The Descendants series and knew he was a talented guy. When I heard of his passing, my heart went out to his family,… Continue reading

Goodbye Paris, Hello World (Our European Adventure: Day 10&11)
June 22nd, 2019: It would take a long time for me to ever get used to sleeping in, yawning and looking out the window of my hotel room to see Paris, but with the warm welcome it had given us over the last two days, I looked out at the already sunny city, tipped my… Continue reading
