I don't really believe in starting off the New Year with insane health goals. But I do believe in the excitement around a new time that can motivate you to be healthier and be a better you. I would never push for crazy diets or starting to overdo it on your work outs, but I…

Standing Up For What You Believe In
If you were going to take a stand any year, it had to be 2020. There were so many things that I get I had to take a hard stance on. And I tried to, but at the same time it gives me a lot of anxiety. Because not everyone’s going to agree with you…
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…
2020 Recap
I certainly had no idea what 2020 had in store for me. We started the New Year at a funeral actually, my aunt passed away from multiple myeloma around Christmas and it just felt very unexpected to me. Later in January, we celebrated our one year in New Hampshire. I started tracking my moods because…
Silver Linings

Checking In On 2020
Remember those goals, aspirations, and resolutions you made in the New Year? Here's your reminder to check in with yourself.

My Word For 2020
In 2017, I decided to stop making resolutions. I wasn't following them, barely even thinking about them after January. I decided to start assigning a word to my year, a word that would focus on something I need to work on. In 2017, my word was: enough, in 2018, my word was: presence, and in…
Christmas In Amsterdam
Once again, we booked a trip through Groupon and this one was to Amsterdam! The Groupon was with the company we traveled to Iceland with, Gate 1, so we were pretty sure it would be a smooth sailing trip. And it was! Amsterdam is really a beautiful city. My favorite part was just walking around…
A Decade’s Difference
This new year will be a new decade. It's crazy to think that the year 2000 was 20 years ago. In the moment I feel like time passes so slow, but looking back I can't even remember who I was a decade ago. A decade ago I was 16, it was a pretty shitty time.…
My Word For 2019
For the past two years, I've decided to designate a word to my new year instead of resolutions. In 2017, my word was enough and in 2018, my word was presence. I think about my words from time to time throughout the year and never really feel like I'm accomplishing them until I reflect back. Enough…
