Today is my birthday. It’s a weird feeling this year, just as everything is weird this year I guess lol. Again with the firsts, this is the first time in a long time that I’ve been near people who know me on my birthday that I can spend time with. Even without the constant moving … Continue reading Celebrate! Even if only on the inside…

At home in myself…
As I continue to think about what it means to settle into a place and find my people, I would be remiss to ignore one of the biggest challenges I've been facing on this journey-- my sobriety. I am not struggling with sobriety itself, but with what it means to be sober in a society … Continue reading At home in myself…
There’s a First for Everything…
There's an itch for change that I get every year around this time, and every year for the last 20, it's been scratched. Not this time. For the first time in 20 years, I am not moving into a new home, applying for jobs, interviewing, or changing my position. For the first time, I'm staying … Continue reading There’s a First for Everything…
Gilmore Girls ain’t got nothin’ on us…
The title is not meant to upset anyone lol. I absolutely love that show. "The Gilmore Girls" was a show my mom and I would watch together and say how lucky we were to have a relationship like that (without dressing up in weird costumes, all night dance-a-thons, or talking so fast). Even better, we … Continue reading Gilmore Girls ain’t got nothin’ on us…
Fearing the Dream
I’ve spent the last 13 years on one hell of a personal development journey, always trying to learn and grow, in the hopes of being better each day than I was the day before. (Some days have been better than others to say the least). There have been many points throughout that time where I … Continue reading Fearing the Dream
3341 miles/ 1376 songs/ 2 weeks
I recently returned from a two-week road trip down the east coast. I decided after a two-year hiatus from my solo trip (one because of Covid) that it was time to start it up again at a different resort. If you've read any of my previous posts about my solo vacation you'll know why. Since … Continue reading 3341 miles/ 1376 songs/ 2 weeks
Love in the time of corona…
As I’m watching the increasing panic/anxiety/chaos around me, I’ve become even more determined to ground myself in positivity, and not fall into what I'm calling the pit of despair (shout out to all my Princess Bride peeps. How many said it in the albino voice? Just curious). It’s so easy to be heartbroken in these … Continue reading Love in the time of corona…
Out with the old…
When I started this blog, I told myself that I would give it a year and see how I felt. That year mark has arrived so it’s time to reflect and see what my next steps will be. It’s been a crazy, and very full year. I had promised myself when I began, that I … Continue reading Out with the old…
Goals Schmoals…
I don’t know about you, but I am about 100% tired of all the resolution and goal-setting crap that has been inundating my inbox over the past week. If you are anything like me, you make goals by the day if not the minute. Each day we start out with a new goal in mind, … Continue reading Goals Schmoals…
Tis the Season…
I can’t believe Christmas is already here, just a few more days to go. It feels like it crept up out of nowhere. I’ve been thinking about it for a while because of the gift exchange situation I mentioned in a previous post, but it still seemed so far away. Now, here we are and … Continue reading Tis the Season…
