You Might be the Answer
It’s always easy to imagine that when you meet someone new or put yourself out there, things aren’t going to work out. It’s easy to imagine being rejected, which is why we often don’t want to put ourselves in that position to begin with. Saying the wrong thing, tripping over your own feet, doing something… Continue reading

Work For and From the Inside
About a week ago my mom, sister and I went to get massages. We’d each received a gift certificate for Christmas and were finally able to make (and keep) an appointment, since the first couple were cancelled due to one of us having COVID. We were very excited, as we’d booked—for the first time ever—ninety-minute… Continue reading

We’re Going Out Tonight
As I took my seat in the audience, I took a slow look at the people around me. There were conversations happening everywhere. Some serious, some lighthearted, some loud, and some whispered. Hands joined in greetings and introductions, and arms pulled shoulders into happy hugs. The stage was set, the show was getting ready to… Continue reading

I Love Me (Part 3)
A few years ago, I was inspired by a fellow blogger to start a series that encourages friends and family to write down things they love about themselves.

Confession: I like online shopping. The ease. The convenience. The ability to make fun mail arrive on my doorstep. It is wonderful.

And while that process has been and might forever remain a process, I have recently found myself in need of an afternoon routine as well. Seeing as many things are still closed and many activities are still limited,… Continue reading

I Love Me (Part 2)
A couple years ago I posted this blog, where I was inspired by a blogging friend to challenge both myself and some of my favorite ladies to write out things that we love about ourselves. It was uncomfortable, a little difficult, and almost felt…wrong—which is exactly why I’m back to do it again with some… 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

I Love Me
A couple weeks ago my friend and fellow blogger, Allison A, posted a blog all about self love. She brought up the frustratingly common tendency we have as a population, especially as women, to not only talk down about ourselves, but to make a point not to brag about ourselves. To counter this, she asked… Continue reading

What Prison Break Reminded Me About Myself, Wentworth Miller & Everyone Else
This past month I’ve been watching Prison Break for the first time which, if you’ve ever seen it, you know by “watching” I mean barely leaving my room to participate in society. I’ve been totally consumed by the storyline and the characters and have had ongoing battles of turning my “I need to help the… Continue reading
