Time Moves Fast But Unbearably Slow
I feel like the last two years of my life didn't even happen. I've been at a new job for a week now and it's just like no time has passed. Just like I hadn't lost my job, moved back to my home state, and had to start all over. Because we moved from New…

Completed Spring Bucket List
This is probably the most I've ever gotten done on a bucket list! Once I updated it to be more quarantine-friendly, I was able to push myself to get outside more and take advantage of the more time I've been spending indoors. What's one fun thing you did this spring? Change my hair I did…
The Many Places We Call Home
I'm pretty picky about the places I call home, I also think I approach it a little differently than most people. I can attach the word "home" to a place where I genuinely felt love, felt welcome, and felt comfortable. I've had a lot of homes in my life. And I've had a lot of…
