Is there a more perfect season than summer? Well, that depends on who you are asking but for me, no there is not. I live for summer. Bright, blue, sunny skies make my soul joyful. Lush green leaves rustling with a breeze that dances on my skin? Heaven. While I’m not one to head to … Continue reading Perfection – An Ode to Summer

Juggling
No matter how hard I try, I can’t seem to stay on top of all of the things that are important to me. Loss of focus, perhaps minor bouts of depression, or just plain laziness could be the culprits, take your pick, but something always seems to get in the way. The changes I’m struggling … Continue reading Juggling
Better
Things are slowly getting better. I’m moving more, not napping during the week. I’m reading again, I’m writing again. I’m finding balance between rest and productivity, whereas before I was all rest, yet never feeling rested.

I didn’t know what I wanted to be or what my future held, but it felt bright and limitless. I had been raised to believe I could achieve anything I wanted if I … Continue reading Broken Promises
I Am Enough
Desperation. Insecurity. Those were the hallmarks of how I loved in the past. I was desperate to be loved, to have friends, to keep friends. Everything about me was desperate and insecure. I was painfully insecure in my friendships, never fully convinced I was worthy of their love. Once I made friends, I was so happy to … Continue reading I Am Enough
A Life Well Lived
This December, I’ll be turning 40 years old. I know that number throws a lot of people into a tailspin, but personally, it’s something I’m looking forward to. I feel like 40 is the year and decade I’ll take control of my life and craft it into something that truly suits me. That’s not to … Continue reading A Life Well Lived
