I have gone back and forth on writing this post because it feels deeply personal and it is a little scary to put this out there. I decided to write this hoping that it helps someone else explain to other people how they are feeling or that it helps someone understand another person in their … Continue reading Confession: I Have An Anxiety Disorder

Writing Choices-An Open Letter
Dear Readers, As some of you know, I was contributing to a millennial women's website for a bit. And as some of you know, my articles have tapered off there. While they are a great website, my ideas do not really align with what they want. When I got hired on, I was told they were … Continue reading Writing Choices-An Open Letter
The Balancing Act
No one tells you when you're a kid longingly wishing you were a grown-up that could make their own rules, that when you finally reach that stage in life, you kind of wish everyone else would make up the rules for you. I like having a bedtime, I know I need to get my chores … Continue reading The Balancing Act
The Insensitive Shit We Unintentionally Say
I truly believe that most people have good intentions. Sure there are a few "bad apples" out there but I think for the most part people have really good intentions. However, just because we say or do something with good intentions does not mean that it is good for someone else. I was listening to … Continue reading The Insensitive Shit We Unintentionally Say
Dry-ish January
As one of my bucket list items I decided I wanted to take one month (at least) off from drinking any alcohol. Now, in the U.K. apparently, they do Dry January to start the new year off cleaner. I like this idea, however, I'm starting a little late. I will be starting on … Continue reading Dry-ish January
I Reserve the Right to Change My Mind

And if you don't contradict yourself on a regular basis, then you're not thinking. --Malcolm Gladwell I had to contain myself … Continue reading I Reserve the Right to Change My Mind
I Am A Feminist, But Feminism Cannot Be Generalized
As thinking person with a conscience, I am fiercely feminist. I know and have seen the effects of women being marginalized and treated like objects. I’m also completely aware of the crazy gap between men in leadership roles versus women. I am also aware that even in the creative space, men are far … Continue reading I Am A Feminist, But Feminism Cannot Be Generalized
Why It’s ok to Skip the Gym
I’m very fortunate and have had a fall break this week. In my head, I had a lot of things I was going to get done. A lot of cleaning, a lot of errands and I was going to be at the gym every. Single. Day. Then instead, I was sick for 4 days. I … Continue reading Why It’s ok to Skip the Gym
Why I Love Fall and Other Random Updates
I know it’s pretty cliché to be a fan of fall right now, but I do not care. It really is my favorite. I love cool mornings and afternoons. Mornings where you can sip coffee for hours and it tastes so great. I love when the leaves change colors. I also get a … Continue reading Why I Love Fall and Other Random Updates
Creating Peace
So I don't typically ask for anything from my readers or much from even my friends or family. However, I currently have a large donorschoose project out there to fund a professional development for myself. I have been researching mindfulness and its effects on kids and I want to take a 200+ hour training on … Continue reading Creating Peace
