the rules
them’s the rules. the non-negotiables if you will. i usually don’t like having rules or a list of things to follow – i’ve always been a little too rebellious for that, but this is pretty simple. simple yet oh so freaking important. so, from this point forward i will trust myself. i will only treat […]
ignore the idiots
this is for anyone feeling a little rejected right now! whether it was a romantic interest or a job opportunity or something else that you put yourself out there for. that you got your hopes up for. that you were picturing best case scenario for. i feel you. it sucks. it hurts. it can turn […]
more life lessons
life lessons can really suck, hey? those big moments – the ones that teach you the most, give you the most & grow you the most – are often pretty painful. the only thing that magnifies that pain?? not learning the dang lesson the first time & having history repeat. well, last month, i had […]
what is it??
seriously. ask yourself this very important question. life can be pretty tough sometimes, even without all the added pandemic stress, so anytime you can work a little extra happiness into your day – why wouldn’t you?? so – what makes you happy? and i’m not talking about the things you think you *should* do, like […]

we’re doing this
how can one year be so good but so bad at the same time?? bring you so much happiness & then so much sadness?? one moment you feel like you have absolutely everything & then the next day you wake up to feel like you lost it all… now i fully admit that sounds dramatic […]
experience is everything
‘never be afraid to start over. this time you’re not starting from scratch, you’re starting from experience.’ experience is everything – & you have it!! even if it doesn’t feel like it sometimes. i originally fell in love with this quote because i was completely starting over in life but now i like to read […]
every different season
‘every season serves a purpose’ obviously, this is more of a quiet season. i, like most i’m assuming, have been spending lots & lots of time at home – which i will admit is pretty easy for a gal like me who doesn’t have kids, a spouse or elderly loved ones to care for […]
