Practicing Perseverance

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”

Plus-Sized Disneyland

Last month I got the opportunity to not only live out a childhood dream, but also overcome a sizeable fear that has been growing in my mind lately. As a child raised in the 90’s you can sure bet that I was raised on Disney. I grew up watching movies like The Lion King, BeautyContinue reading “Plus-Sized Disneyland”

A is for Astrophotography

In case you missed it, last month was the annual Perseid Meteor shower and this year its peak occurred over a weekend! Needless to say, I took full advantage of the timing. I went camping with one roommate on Friday night (learned that my sedan was not made for me to sleep in, because shortContinue reading “A is for Astrophotography”

I wanted to touch base with you all because I am really determined to stick with this schedule of posting every other Saturday (I hear routine is supposedContinue reading “Mini-Update”

Travel Time Out

I love to travel! A fact which, if you know me at all or have read any of my other writing, is in no way surprising. I could spend hours floating in the ocean, hanging in a hammock in the mountains, or driving through “flyover” states. For reasons I don’t fully understand, I am theContinue reading “Travel Time Out”

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…”
