More Sweet Than Bitter.

The day has come! It feels like it was always just a distant daydream that would never arrive. The highs and lows of the last 10 months have given some of the most intense feelings and emotions in my life but every single step was a lesson in one way or another. Life as we…

Less Stuff, Less Stress.

One of my goals for the year was to completely de-clutter my life. Not only did I want to downsize the amount of ‘things’ I had but also the amount of negative energy and relationships I had. It’s only half way through 2015 (that sounds scary) but I feel like I’m making a great stride…

C’est La Vie

I have no answers. No insightful things to say. No advice to be given. All I have are a bunch of questions roaming around in my head. As the days go on so does our life. Turning the page, closing one chapter and starting a new one. Goodbyes are never easy and always seem to…

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…

Let’s Be Still

Do you ever have a moment in life when everything just feels so perfect and content that you wish, with your entire being, that you could do anything to keep that moment going forever, or at least for a longer than they last? Those kinds are my favorite. Few things warm my soul more, than…

departure part2.

After a night spent in the WalMart parking lot, I was definitely ready to get on with the journey. It was 5am and just the beginning lights of dawn could be seen in the distance. My neck was cramped, my legs sore and my eyes just couldn’t seem to moisten but I wanted nothing more…

Angels Travel Too.

One month ago my beloved Grandmother passed away. She was a strong, independent woman and one whom I looked up to dearly. Since her passing I have struggled with accepting that she is actually gone from this earth. I still have vivid dreams about her, which leaves me feeling empty like I lost of my…
