Anyone else deep in the winter blues? https://twitter.com/rosieculture/status/1619095197316698112?s=46&t=zbs0ntKEormA1bm39IMsHA There’s nothing worse to me than a winter without one really good snow where you can go out and build a snowman. My dog loves it, I love it, and global warming has taken it away from us!! Besides that, I’ve just all around have had a…
A Perspective Reset
If We Were Having Coffee – January
If we were having coffee this month I’d tell you it flew by! While I felt endlessly busy during the holiday season, things seemed to slow down a bit during this month. It’s been a good month to try to shift my perspectives and get ready for a new year. I’d also tell you that…
When Is It Over?
Sometimes, due to human nature, we just have a problem with ending something we've gotten comfortable with. Even though we know what we're doing isn't right for us, it would just be more of a hassle to learn to live a new way. I've done it before. I lived a life where I was…
Things You Only Need To Do Once
There are some things you only need to do once. I went to a drive thru holiday lights display a few years ago, no desire to do something like that again. Nashville is a place I’ve only ever felt the need to go to once. An 8 hour hike through New Hampshire mountains was certainly…
I’m Terrified Of Getting Old
This may be a weird thing to admit, but when I was younger I always had a hard time picturing my future. Like I never thought I'd make it this far. Maybe I'd die young and leave a bittersweet memory, maybe I'd just vanish. But here I am, about to be 29 years old, with…
2023 Word Of The Year
I’ve been doing a word of the year since 2017 instead of resolutions. I’ve always been big on goals, I set them for myself year round and don’t really like tying them to resolutions. In past years my words have been well-being, enough, presence, adventure, growth, and acceptance. In 2022, my word was growth, which…
You’ll Know When You Know
It’s no secret that I’ve been hesitant when it comes to relationships. After getting hurt by my first big love, I was really unsure how to move forward. When you think someone is “the one” and they turn out to totally be the worst - you start to question your judgment for a little. So…
If We Were Having Coffee – December
The holidays never really get any less crazy, do they? If we were having coffee this December, I’d tell you that it’s been very go, go, go and I’m tired. Luckily I had a few days off around the holidays - but I wish I had taken more! If we were having coffee I’d tell…
Goodreads Goal
I was a reader as a kid. And then all through adulthood I swore up and down I was a reader, but only read like 2 books a year. In the beginning of the year, I read 2 books that absolutely reignited my love of reading and they are Verity by Colleen Hoover and A…
The Internet Is Making Us Lonely
Likes, favorites, retweets, comments, and all those weird emotion things Facebook just added. We live for instant gratification. It's not because we're selfish, it's because of the Internet. It's because we not only have to look great in person but we also have to look great online. There is more than one impression to make…
