So, lately I have been trying, once again, to spend less time doom scrolling on socials and more time investing in my life and the kind of person I am. One of the ways I have been doing this is by finally working through my reading list. Coincidentally, it is a list that was heavilyContinue reading “Practicing Perseverance”

Recognizing Growth
Let’s get personal for a minute. Have you ever felt stuck before? Like somehow all personal growth stopped at 24 years old even though your ID says you are north of 30, and your knees like to pretend that they’re 75. Until pretty recently, this is how I would have describe myself. Mentally stuck atContinue reading “Recognizing Growth”
Summer Update 2023
It has been a crazy few months, but as I sit here at a local park, typing this update, I can’t help but realize how immensely blessed I am. It is a beautiful summer day here, with fluffy white clouds dotted across a blue sky and a gentle breeze keeping the heat at bay. ButterfliesContinue reading “Summer Update 2023”
Preparing for the Life You Want…
Have you ever heard the saying “dress for the job you want, not the job you have.” I have, and I chuckle pretty hard when I consider the timing of it. I first heard it while working part-time as an HR team member at a major US retail store. Nevertheless, I took the advice andContinue reading “Preparing for the Life You Want…”
What’s Stopping You?
I have a dream. I wish I could claim it was a noble dream; a dream that works to end social injustice or world hunger, or maybe brings about world peace. It’s not, because realistically, I’m a little too selfish for that kind of dream. Instead, I dream of making travel and exploration my lifeContinue reading “What’s Stopping You?”
The Personal Side of History
I have been thinking a lot about history lately, which fills my head with unattributed quotes like: “History is written by the victors” and “Those who forget their history are destined to repeat it.” History, also, always feels distant, as though it has only ever been something that happened long ago, or far away, evenContinue reading “The Personal Side of History”
The Most Important Question
My friend Val gave me a writing prompt a few days ago, along with the challenge to write every two weeks. Which, if you look through my post history, you will see is quite a challenge. **Insert uncomfortable smirk here** The prompt came from a podcast she listens to by Kara Loewentheil and the episodeContinue reading “The Most Important Question”
So… Let’s Talk Insecurities
I wish I knew the right combination of letters needed to properly articulate the awkward sound of apprehension that just oozed out of my mouth after typing that title. You know that sound right? Somewhere between “oh” and “agh” but completely permeated with an essence of avoidance… Oh! Just me? Well, that’s uncomfortable. I knowContinue reading “So… Let’s Talk Insecurities”
Taking a Little Time…
Well, hello again! I know it has been a while since my last post and I honestly wish I had a good reason for the hiatus… I don’t. Apparently I am just very inconsistent in my writing, but what’s life without a little room for improvement? So if you are one of the few whoContinue reading “Taking a Little Time…”
A Night Under the Stars…
The other day I was having my usual introvert battle between wanting solitude and quiet, and really wanting someone to share it with. Most days, life has a way of being so loud! Street noise, the refrigerator, dogs barking, people talking, laughing, shouting, all of it adding together to create a cacophony that almost neverContinue reading “A Night Under the Stars…”
