With only a few days left in 2017 – I find myself reflecting on the last 360 or so days. In 2017 I became a bit of a recluse. While everyone I knew was planning a wedding, a family or a vacation, I put my head down and went through the motions of my days.Continue reading “2017 – year of the recluse”

Seeking Value
After watching a minimalism documentary on Netflix and rereading The Minimalists first book, I’ve become obsessed with the role things and people play in my life. If something or someone doesn’t add value to my life, what’s the point of keeping it around? I’d been playing around with the idea of getting off of InstagramContinue reading “Seeking Value”
this is my time
Call me crazy but taking a break from blogging was the best thing I’ve done this year. Since taking a break I’ve finished a manuscript (and then chucked it out the window), began outlining a completely new project (a NOVEL), submitted essays to a few online magazines (SHE DOES THE CITY PUBLISHED ONE aboutContinue reading “this is my time”
You Don’t Blog Anymore (what was all of it for?)

Most of these thoughts are works of fiction filled with lust, drama, and romance. How’s married life? they ask Oh it’sContinue reading “How’s Married Life?”
My Breakfast with Fate
Fate can come in different shapes and forms; it can be personified as a person, place, coincidence, accident, letter, email, or sign. I met Fate mid-Sunday morning at a new diner close to home. This version of Fate came in a 5 foot 2 bundle of confidence and happiness complete with gorgeous eyes and anContinue reading “My Breakfast with Fate”
Live Every Single Day
I was at my aunt/florists house the other night pretending to help with wedding things when she admitted to me that my blog posts leave her with a heavy heart. I was a little stunned by the comment – I always thought my posts sounded jovial and inspired. I wanted them to say: I’m content withContinue reading “Live Every Single Day”
