I’m not sure anyone can fully comprehend the emotion I feel behind this post as simple as it may seem; fear, vulnerability, love, a pit in my stomach, tears in my eyes, an ‘oh shit’ kind of feeling that can neither be described as good or bad. A few weeks ago I came across the…
Book Review Roundup: Children’s Edition
I am a sucker for children’s books. They’re short, quick, often colorful, easy reads that typically hold some value we can all benefit from. I made it a goal this year to read ten children’s books, which isn’t a lofty goal, but one I hoped would inspire some creativity. Whenever I pop into Barnes &…
G. R. A. T. E. F. U. L.
Hello everybody! I have a late night, nearing the end of the week, follow up to my previous post. If you read it, you know there are some things I’ve concluded I need to work on. A few main ones are having faith, being grateful, and being myself. I’ve been playing with something in my…

I decided to switch things up a little bit today. As I’ve mentioned before, I love lists. Besides helping me feel organized, they’re a quick way to highlight information. Today, I decided I’d share some random facts about me as a way for you to get to know me a bit better. I think I’ll…

True Self: Taking Off the Mask
“Imagine the best version of your true self. Describe what that looks like.” I found that question on a page in the Spring 2019 issue of Magnolia Journal that offered monthly journal prompts. It has been on my mind during this last week that consisted of watching any BrenéBrown talk I could find. I’ve mentioned…
What is Love?
I’m going through the emotions of some personal matters and have spent a good chunk of the day in bed with occasional bouts of tears. I watched Brené Brown’s special on Netflix, hoping I will actually have the courage to be vulnerable, and was beginning to work my way through the most recent issue of…
Tears, T, and York Peppermint Patties
Sometimes you realize you’re in the middle of change, the beginning of a new chapter, without fully embracing it. You know it’s coming, but you operate matter-of-factly rather than emotionally.
