The excitement that soars through my body when I get a notification that the book I’ve been long awaiting for is finally off hold and patiently waiting for me to indulge in, is cloying. That’s exactly what happened yesterday when the much anticipated Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo became available to me. I’ve been waitingContinue reading “Glib Blabber Mouths”

Frazzled in France
I can’t get away without sharing our experience in France with you. I’m going to start from the beginning, as this whirlwind of events deserves. Story time! For starters, just getting to France in itself was chaotic. I won’t stress you with the details, but know that at one point (less than 24 hours beforeContinue reading “Frazzled in France”
The Suffering of Worry
**this was written in 2018** “Worrying means you suffer twice.” Read it again. “Worrying means you suffer twice.” If something is going to happen – it’s going to happen.

Rant: Pretty Privilege
**This rant was written at the end of 2019** This year I gained a lot of awareness about how others view me.

But it does give me different perspectives on what others might thinkContinue reading “Rant: Pretty Privilege”

It’s encouraged me to be blunt. In my boundaries, my desires, and my non-negotiables. It’s made me to be courageous. Bold.Continue reading “Thank you, 2021.”
Validation Victims
Constant validation is a hard thing to wrap around my mind. Why does something always have to be said in order for it to be felt? Validations happen in moments, there’s not always something to tell. But the constant need to be told exactly how one feels and what they think is crippling. It’s likeContinue reading “Validation Victims”
Timing is Underrated
I was thinking about this while playing pin ball in Portland the other night. (I forgot how much I love this game, by the way). Some would say it’s a game of luck and the ball will take you wherever it wants to go on its time. Which I can’t disagree with. The ball doesContinue reading “Timing is Underrated”
