April 10, 2022 Embrace Life With Open Arms It was a beautiful Sunday morning. The sea breeze whips through my hair as we sit together, sipping on our coffee. I shut my…
March 27, 2022 Why I Left Colorado After only ten months (maybe eleven) in Colorado, my husband and I packed our bags, hired movers, and left the mountainous state of Colorado. Part of me was a little sad, but most of me was happy. Now don’t me wrong–I loved seeing the mountains every single day, but there was something missing. Since we had arrived in Colorado, it felt like something was just off. There was a big of *magic* that was just absent.
January 30, 2022 Operation Restoration: Why It’s Okay to Not Be Okay When I was little, I remember thinking how amazing it would be to be an adult. Being able to pay for things, make my own decisions, travel, and most importantly, have my place. That was always a creative dream of mine–to design my home with my style, much like I did my room until the age of eighteen.
January 25, 2022 My 2022 Mantra: Unapologetic Everyone talks about the negatives associated with the pandemic. Yet, I haven’t seen so many people talk positively about what changed for the better during this time. Of course, I can only speak from experience, but from January 2020 until now, as I wrote in the last post, I can only really describe the previous two years with one word: unapologetic.
January 25, 2022 A Shift in the Tides Two years ago, if you asked me where I would have seen myself in 2022, I don’t know what I would have said. I probably would have laughed a little, joked about owning some business, and said that I definitely wouldn’t be working as much as I was at the time. Two years ago, I was finally out of my grocery store job, into an office, and I thought I had it made. But I was working long hours, working a side hustle that was going nowhere fast, and just engaged. Now I’m married, living in a different state, and working more, but the catch is that I work for myself. So, in essence, half of the time, the work is just me flexing my brain, learning something, and conversing with one of the many dozen of clients I handle regularly. Life looks completely different in 2022 than it did in 2020, not just for work and personal reasons, as the tides have shifted for us all.
July 3, 2021 X Marks the Spot: How to Find Your Way Back to Your True Self It’s true that in the modern world, there are so many damn distractions. You’re sidetracked by the Facebook posts, the Instagram lives, and the Tik Toks that tell you you’re brushing your teeth wrong. We spend so much time listening to influencers we forget our greatest influence: ourselves.
September 14, 2020 It’s All In Your Head It’s September, and yet it feels like it’s 2022. I’m sure you all have felt the effects of the pandemic and the altered daily…

October 17, 2018 What We All Tend To Forget As a junior in college, I went through a very dark, unexpected twist in my outlook on life. While most people knew me then and know me now as the girl who always finds the bright side of every situation, I did a one hundred and eighty degree turn back then. It wasn’t without reason, but it was a bad move. Yet it is something we do from time to time, whether we admit it out to others or not.
August 19, 2016 Taichung, At Last! I’ve barely been in Taiwan two weeks and within those two weeks, so much has changed and so much has happened. I spent ten…
