I’ve Got Both
Luckily, I live in a state where both the beach and mountains are close by. My husband and I can take a day trip to the beach, which we used to do quite frequently in the summer. If we wanted to go to the Outer Banks, that would have to be an overnight trip. The… →

Impactful Historical Figures
If you could meet a historical figure, who would it be and why? It’s been a busy day. I left work early because I wasn’t feeling well, but then got wrapped up in doing stuff at home that this post today just got pushed further and further back in my mind. I do have a… →

Oh, the Books I’ve Read (or not)
What book are you reading right now? So many books on my shelf to read! I have books from many years ago that have been sitting on my shelf a lot longer than my recent additions to my TBR pile. Last year I would have a fiction and non-fiction book going at the same time… →

Y’all, it’s been a day. It’s been a week actually. Literally a week. Last Thursday work drama escalated. This week, work drama continued. Through it all, I was a bad ass. You should have seen the email I sent yesterday and who I cc’d on it. I dropped the mic and left for the day… →

Technically It’s Art
The most expensive thing I ever bought for myself was a large tattoo that is nothing but blue flowers. The symbolism of the flowers and their specific color have meant the world to me as I have healed from trauma. They have helped me become who I am mean to be. →

The Anxiety of It
Last night I went to bed with crushing anxiety. That was the second night in a row, though last night was worse. But at the same time it was different. On the first night of my anxiety, my brain was lying to me and saying that things were going to go badly for me the… →

*you’re
What was your favorite subject in school? I’m a writer, obviously my favorite subject in school was English. Reading books and short stories and writing stories and essays and poems? Yes, please! Of course, English wasn’t always the name of the class…I think in middle school it was called Communication Skills. When I was an… →

Maybe It’s the Moxie
I’m pleased with myself that my answer to this question today is the same as it was a year ago: Absolutely not! The experiences I have had in my childhood, my teen years, and my 20s are not anything that makes me feel like I want to go back and relive any of it. There… →
