My word for this year is well-being and I chose it because I've been really lacking in taking care of myself. I'm not great at keeping in touch with friends, with doing what's best for my body, or minding my mental health. We're about halfway through the year and I can't say I'm doing a…

My Word For 2021
If you’ve been here for a while, you’ll know I gave up on resolutions a while ago and started choosing a word for the year - like a mantra. Resolutions have always been unattainable to me and I do better breaking down my seasons into bucket lists to actually get things done. In past years…

Harping On Silly Mistakes
I'm hard on myself. I think it's because I know I'm good at what I do, so when I make a silly mistake it means I was just being careless. And we all get careless from time to time, it's hard to keep your same motivation day in and day out. But I never like…
Rediscovering Yourself
I lose track of myself all the time and I don't even know I'm doing it. Just one day I'll snap back into place and realize I've been wasting life away. I get into these ruts where all I do is nap after work. Where I stop putting time into my appearance. Ruts where I…
