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

An Open Letter to the Man Who Unknowingly Impacted a Student
To The Man at Buffalo Wild Wings, Today, one of my students came to me and told me all about you. He couldn't wait to tell me what had happened the night before.

How Adopting a Dog Changed Me
My old man dog died in October of last year and it was a terribly painful experience for me. I cried for like three days straight. Even now typing those words make me really sad.

My Childhood Alterego- Tiffany Sportslender
I was a weird kid. While I played with dolls and things like a normal child, I had also created a completely alternate persona, Tiffany Sportslender. At first, Tiffany owned a sporting goods shop where she would rent or lend sports equipment (get it...sports-lender, it was in her name she had to do this.) However, soon Tiffany … Continue reading My Childhood Alterego- Tiffany Sportslender
I Quit Caffeine and It’s Been the Best Decsision

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
You Are What You Eat
I consider myself a pretty healthy person. I enjoy sweets and things covered in cheese but I try to enjoy them in moderation. I'm not always successful at this and I've definitely gained more weight as I've gotten older. However, I started noticing I would gain weight easier. I lost 10 pounds a few months … Continue reading You Are What You Eat
Why I Changed My Stance on Having Kids
As a never married nearly 30-year-old, the question I have always dreaded most is, “Don’t you want kids?” To this, my response has always been a hard “no.” Then the most dreaded statement is typically most people’s response is, “You’ll change your mind.” I think I just heard the collective worldwide groan of all the … Continue reading Why I Changed My Stance on Having Kids
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
