Let me start this post off by saying I am not an expert. I am not medically trained in this area. This post is simply based on my own experiences. I am happy to lend an ear and helping hand but if you believe you need something other than to talk it out with a […]
Like many others I am living a life of uncertainty. But the reality is, we’ve always lived in a time of uncertainty. Maybe we thought we always knew the answers. We didn’t and don’t. I am notorious for trying to control the outcome. My mental coach has hammered control the controllables. My therapist constantly reminds […]
As I sit here and type this, I have Henley at my feet and my journal to my left. I’m conflicted. If you follow me on IG, you may have seen me flipping a coin to determine if I should go on a trip I have been considering. I started looking around at mediation and […]
What a year it has been. Each birthday I write down a few things I want to make a priority. Some of those from last year included: be present, be still, be you. I kicked off year 33 with attending a race to cheer on runners. Some will find this odd but if you have […]

It is filled with leaves changing colors, football, all the squash and my favorite scents. But this post isn’t about seasons in that manner. Have you ever noticed how social media feeds become […]
I was on the middle school basketball team. On the weekends, we played in all day tournaments. We would wake up before the sun, catch the bus which was usually 60 min + ride and start playing around 8 am. Games were more competitive as the day went on with the winning teams playing against […]
I had to take a step away. Actually that is a lie. My plate was so overfilled I had to prioritize and had zero energy to write. Since I can remember, I have always been the type to be involved in as many activities as possible. As a child, I would take up art lessons […]
My Mom came down to visit me in Austin for the last couple of days. Yesterday as we were walking around downtown I said, “I will always be a small town girl, but man, there is something about being in a busy downtown that gives me a bit of spark too.” I was raised in […]
