The Stories We Create
While I’ve been on this journey of self-discovery and re-evaluation of statements, one thing has come to the forefront repeatedly and that is the creation of justification stories.

Saying “yes” to life… and a girls’ trip!
Chicago- home of the deep dish pizza, a green river, some incredible ice cream, and of course... The BEAN, just to name a few- here we come! Or I should say… we survived St. Patrick’s Day in Chicago.

The most difficult questions of my existence…
The way my life works is that I get bombarded with messages from the Universe when I need them and I try to take the hints.
