Departure Part1

Thursday night before my departure I didn’t sleep very well. I tossed and turned all night long wondering if I was making the right decision. As part of my personality, I’m constantly worrying about taking the ‘right’ path and making the decisions that will make me the happiest in the long run. My students kept…

Headin’ West.

How many chapters are in a lifetime? The phrase always makes me laugh yet, in a few short weeks; I’ll be once again turning over a page in this life and beginning a new chapter. I am so very extremely excited yet sad; bittersweet is the perfect word to describe it. In Minneapolis I have…

23 Things I Learned at 23.

Why is everyone always hatin’ on twenty-three? I for one thought it was a fabulous year. Old enough to be considered an “adult” yet still in the early twenties category so you can get away with things. Literally caught somewhere in the middle of your early twenties, twenty three is freakin’ awesome. I can’t even…

SPAC- Til We Dance Away..

I spent this past weekend in Saratoga Springs, New York for a little Dave Matthews Band weekend. I’ve only been to New York one other time and the East Coast only a handful so I’m not the most familiar with the area. Ignorantly in my mind, everything on the East Coast is within like, 3…

That’s Pretty Neat.

Late last night as I was clearing off unnecessary photos from Facebook (why did we ever think it was cool to post EVERY drunk photo online for the world to see?) I started to reflect on love and friends and how they make up the person we are. Okay, honestly, I was mostly concentrating on…

Searching For Forever.

Late night lasagna, wine and good friends almost always leads to one thing; good conversation. And this night was no different. On the menu for conversation- “We aren’t meant to be with one person forever.” The two males were set on this thought- we weren’t meant to be monogamous. I was completely caught off guard…

Get Up and Go.

When I was 19 years old I thought I was going through a mid-life crisis. I wasn’t happy with how college was going, I couldn’t decide on a career path, and my restless heart had me constantly looking around at someplace to go and something new to see. This was the end of my sophomore year…

We’re All Mad Here

Summertime is almost here! It’s time to say buh-bye to those winter blues, bust out the ‘ole sunnies and slap on that sunscreen. The days are longer, the weather is nicer and people are just plain ole more fun to be around. Oh, and for us that may be slightly insane, summertime means one thing…

Pesky Feelings.

When you haven’t fallen in quite some time it’s scary when you wake up and realize that maybe, just maybe, you could be falling again. I’m not sure I am prepared for this. I don’t want to feel these feelings again. I’m fine being alone, really. No one to let you down. No one to worry…

Friends All Around.

Over the course of a lifetime you meet a ton of people. As the cliché goes; “some come in your life for a moment, for a year, or for a lifetime” Or, to some extent. And it’s true- people filter in and out of our lives but each and every one serves a purpose. As…
