Falling In Love..

I have fallen in love. I have fallen in love with the streets of a city, the buildings that create stories, the people who pass by, the ocean as it kisses the sand hello, and the moon as it pulls her away. I have fallen in love many times, and because of this- I have…

The Christmas List

“I need your list…” my mother threatens me again as if that will make me suddenly create a list in my mind of materialistic items I desire.  Sure, I could probably come up with a list of fashionable, practical, designer and beautiful things that would be nice to have. But, I don’t need any of it.…

The Good Old Days

“I wish there was a way to know we were in the good old days before we left them.” It’s a quote from The Office and since first hearing it a few years back, it’s created an eerily beautiful sting in my chest. I recently said this to someone who in turn said to me…

Life Lessons.

I’ve said it many times, written many times and thought it even more times. I am a firm believer that in order to grow as people we need to continue to push ourselves past our comfort zones. We need to make a physical effort to push ourselves mentally, spiritually and physical in all aspects of…

So Long Sweet Summer.

What a week it’s already been. First, let me just say the clique “how amazing is fall?!” Is there anything more beautifully ironic than the last summer kiss of the bright and bold colors of the dying autumn leaves? I feel like I ask that question a lot; is there anything better? I hope that just…

Power to the Poof.

Somewhere after an exciting end of summer road trip, seemingly endless amounts of fun and a constant flow of guests in and out of our house, I found myself hit in the face with reality. September had arrived and I was suddenly in major need of work and a schedule. Anxious to get started with…

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…

The Winding Road.

I’m taking a quick side step from blogging about my recent travels of Canada to write a mash up of words that just need to get out of my brain. “You have to love yourself before someone else can love you” or some form of this phrase has bled from the mouths of single people’s…

words in my head.

I want to dig my heels into the ground and fight to stop time, if only for a moment. Each passing day is a reminder of a life that I crave and desire; yet somehow find it slightly out of reach. I’m in love with this vision of a life of adventure. Of a time…
