I’m so sick of so much. Over-thinking, over-speaking and over-complicating. That seems to have been the way of my life over the past couple of years and I am so over it. I just want to do all the things that make me come alive, the things I haven’t been able to do in the…

Acceptance is said to mean consenting to welcome what is perceived as reality. I had a moment of acceptance tonight on my way home. I was staring out of the passenger’s side window and taking in the cobalt blue sky that was just beginning to be overtaken by a blanket of black and I decided…

I had a revelation as the clouds were hovering over me this afternoon. As I stood before bright blue and green waters, I had a time of reflection that brought proper perspective. We’re taught that when the hard times come, we are to “get away and go be with God.” And while I know what…

A lot has been happening recently. My neighbors downstairs moved out, cried in my coffee twice this week, I bought new pants. I realized that daytime tv is garbage and then I had the epiphany that a huge amount of my generation has wasted so much of their time on the internet. Today, I’m brokenhearted…

It’s been one of those weeks. The kind of week where all you do is pray that it ends and drown yourself in thick, creamy, chocolate milkshakes and cry while watching a sad movie about love, loss and the importance of finding a good pair of shoes. But this week, no matter how hard I…

I’ve known Ruan for a few years now and it didn’t take long for us to become friends. This guy is easily one of the funniest people I know and is gifted with the ability to make others feel so comfortable around him. It was such an honor to spend such a gorgeous Sunday afternoon…

The older I get, the more I realize that I am completely unable to see gray. I am a black & white kind of girl. It’s either wrong or it’s right, I’m either all in or giving nothing at all. Most times in my life, that kind of thinking has served me well. Still, it…

It’s a funny thing when you realize that you forgot about the very thing that used to occupy the majority of your thoughts. You sit up in wonder and in awe that the thing in which once brought you to your knees, is now something that only resurfaces on the rare occasion. There’s a quote…

Time is something that continues to awe me. Not necessarily limited by it, we are also somewhat confined to it. Some say it heals, but I don’t think it’s capable of producing such a miracle. However, I will not hesitate to say that time in itself is a good standard by which to measure the…
