Welcome Back (stay awhile)
I want this space to be a similar place for you as it is for me: a place where you can explore, be understood, find comfort, and maybe feel a little less alone.

30 Things I’ve Learned in 30 Years
30. It seems like such a milestone, and maybe it is. Do I feel as old as I always perceived thirty-year-olds to be? Absolutely not. However, suddenly twenty seems incredibly young to me. I will save any further reflections and ramblings on this for another time. Let’s jump right into what you came here for… …
29 Things I’ve Learned in 29 Years
As per tradition, here it goes… More people struggle with anxiety than you think. Trust me. We can achieve great things in life if we choose positivity and get out of our own way. Cesar Salad is always a safe choice. Beer can be yummy (especially this beer). And Kronenberg Blanc is the best pizza …
Showing Up and Holding Myself Accountable
At the time of writing this, it is almost midnight on a Thursday. I haven’t published a blog in over six months, yet here I am, awake, sipping tea, and spilling my heart out on a page. The nostalgia is washing over me. Confession: I have not held much integrity in this space. When I …
28 Things I’ve Learned in 28 Years
It’s that time of the year again. Actually, it’s past that time of the year again but let’s just leave that aside. On December 6th I turned twenty-eight and [as] [per] [tradition], here are some things I’ve learned over the past year… Being put under anaesthesia isn’t as scary as I once thought, but …
I’m back, I can swallow, and I’m ready for 2016
I can’t believe March is here already. It seems like I was just writing my “27 Things I Learned” and now here I am, post-Zambia, post-Christmas, post-Surgery. It’s amazing how time passes. My cousin told me time actually does pass quicker as you get older because your heart beats faster and faster every year. Isn’t …
27 Things I’ve Learned in 27 Years
Every year I get a little bit older, a little bit bolder, and just a little bit wiser… Purple hair is hard to maintain and Pravana will stain everything. Jon Foreman still says it best. Comparison is the thief of joy. There is a cost to cheap (or “fast”) fashion, and it shouldn’t be ignored. Listen …
Growth
Five and a half years ago when I made my online introduction I was the girl recovering from an eating disorder and self-hatred. But I have grown since then. I am so much more than that now. And I’m ready to start sharing that.
Change
First, I would like to thank you all for all of your supportive and encouraging comments on my last post. You have no idea how much you lifted my spirits–which I believe will be part of my healing. A quick update before moving on, my health hasn’t been great as of recently (even since my …
Back…
I couldn’t believe it when I saw that my last post was back in February. Time does fly. There is so much to catch up on and so little at the same time. You will have to bear with me as my writing seems a bit rusty, and after a 96 hour Downton Abbey binge/marathon, …
