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…
What the 38th move feels like…
You read that right- I have moved 38 times. I have moved every 6 months to a year of my adult life, following years of moving as part of a military family. It's in my blood. I'm used to it. I figured this one would be just as easy as all the rest, but it … Continue reading What the 38th move feels like…
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…
Honoring ourselves…
I started this blog almost exactly 11 months ago, and last week was the first week I’ve missed in all of that time. It was weird, and honestly really frustrating to feel like I just didn’t have anything left in the tank, but it had to be done. I promised myself that I would never … Continue reading Honoring ourselves…
Competing for misery
As I’ve been focusing on the practice of gratitude these last couple weeks, there are some things that I’ve been noticing more than usual. I’ve been eaves-dropping on a lot of conversations lately and the common theme? One-upping misery. What do I mean? It looks something like this… “I slept terrible last night.” “Yeah I … Continue reading Competing for misery
The practice of gratitude
Thanksgiving is this week. In fact, by the time you read this it will already be over. Since my boyfriend and I are trying to spend time with both families, I will have one more Thanksgiving after this is published which extends the theme for me for the week. The theme for everyone right now … Continue reading The practice of gratitude
Being the enemy…
As Thanksgiving approaches, I’m starting to get the usual texts from family asking for a Christmas list for presents. I really hoped I wouldn't. Last year I was able to convince my family not to do gifts because I honestly don’t see the point of it anymore. We are all older, no one needs anything, … Continue reading Being the enemy…
