My word for 2020 is acceptance - and boy, have I really had to put that to use. I like to think back to my word every once in a while and reflect on how I've been doing. I've had to accept a lot this year. I think we can all agree that 2020 pretty…

Accepting The Past
I feel like I have been through so many versions of myself. I was once shy, cold, and moody in high school. I was a push-over and boyfriend obsessed my first half of college. I was reckless and couldn't be caught when I graduated college. And now I am settled, finding new parts of myself,…
My 27th Lap Around The Sun
