Dear Girl in the Waiting Room
Yesterday I took my mom to a doctor’s appointment and I saw you sitting in the waiting room. We both had our masks on and we both listened as the door opened and closed with nurses calling name after name of someone else who had one reason or another to start their week at the… Continue reading

A Five Senses Check-In
Back in October I wrote this post—inspired by The Next Right Thing podcast—that was all about connecting to your senses in order to find some peace amongst the fear of the future and chaos of the present. Right now, I have a lot of moving pieces in my life, a lot of things that… Continue reading

This past weekend I finished reading The Midnight Library which is a book about regrets. It follows Nora, a girl who is so consumed in regret and despair that she decides to end her life, only to wake up in a state of in-between called “the midnight library” where there are shelves full of books… Continue reading

The Drive-Thru Fair
“Here’s a map, have a great time.” My best friend Allison and I pulled into the parking lot at the Rose Bowl and then immediately pulled over to take a look at the 11”x17” paper map we’d just been handed with no follow-up directions. I’d heard about the “Fair Foodie Fest” in passing online, and… Continue reading

Take a Step Back
To kick off the new year, my church participated in a 21 day fast. In lieu of certain food groups, I opted to delete social media from my phone, as I felt that it was one thing stealing more of my attention than necessary. And while I expected a bit of habitual reaching for my… Continue reading

In honor of my sister’s birthday tomorrow, I thought I’d bring back this post.
