Well, maybe life isn’t as romantic as the book, Love in the Time of Cholera, it sure is just as dramatic. Life right now is kinda cramping the love life currently. I’m back in Missouri, stubbornly staying as long as I could in Fayetteville, but I think it’s best to be back with family during … More love in the time of corona

I’ll admit something. I have no idea what I’m planning on writing. I’m laying out in the sun like a little lizard, soaking up this 70 degree weather, listening to happy spring music, the kind that makes you want to pack up the car with the love of your life, put the dog in the … More emotionally honest

I would like to be the kind of person who is a personified hug. No, not the super tight uncomfortable one you get from a family member that you may or may not remember, or a sweaty one that smells way too much like cigarettes and alcohol. I’m talking about a warm hug, the hug … More the mask

Learning to say no… it’s a new concept for me, for sure. I am everyone’s yes woman. Yes, I can help with this, or yes, I’ll be there. Yes, yes, yes, yes. I hardly ever say no…. until recently. Because yes, I’m tired. You see, I keep getting myself into trouble when I say yes. … More nah

Every year, I give myself a word, a mantra if you will. I learned this from my mama. In 2019, my word of the year was Sincerity. I wanted to be present and in the moment, something I felt was lacking at the end of 2018. Which, while I struggled to make the most of … More uncomfortable

The goal for my life is to live everyday as if it were summer. I want all the feelings one gets when thinking about summer. I want the heat, the sweat, the smell of Australian Gold, I want the fresh fruit and the knowledge that the sun will come out every single day…. I’ll definitely … More a summer life

Birthdays as an adult are a whole different thing than birthdays when we were kids. This week I turned 22, yes I know. Insane. I still feel 17 in someways, yet I’m already 80 in others. This was my first birthday away from home, and being it was on a Sunday, during a snowy weekend … More 22

Well here we are! The last blog post of 2019. What a year. I began the year in the back of a kitchen rolling silverware at work. I’m ending the year I’d like to say I’ve come far this year, but to avoid sounding clichè, I think we all come far in a year, whether … More 2019

Well hi. Normally I wouldn’t be posting on a holiday week, but I think I owe you guys a few posts, considering I’ve been so absent. So… I’m back in Branson with the family and like every year, it’s a good time but also exhausting. It’s even harder this year with young pup. I have … More weekly update

Whoops…. hi there. So yes. It’s been a bit since I got on here. And I don’t really have much of an excuse. Writer’s block? Suffering from procrastination? Granted, I was sicky for about 3 weeks there, but come on, I could have totally written these blogs in bed. Please forgive me. Well hello! If … More writer’s block
