back to writing, back to life
hey everyone! hope 2021 is off to a beautiful & peaceful start for you!! it’s definitely been a while since i sat down to write anything outside of my daily journal entries & this fantastically long stretch of absence can be credited to the most incredible plot twist to my 2020. and as i sit […]
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 […]

i bought a house!!!!!!
officially! and it’s all mine!! well, Poppy’s too – but i bought it all on my own & i am so dang proud of myself. which feels incredible since i haven’t had a whole lot to feel very proud of over the last couple of years. i’ve certainly made some questionable decisions & had […]
coming back
did anybody else’s june feel like it just went on forever & ever?? the whole month seemed so emotional & to be honest – kind of terrible – & i feel like it sucked everything out of me, including my creativity & my desire to write anything. which was maybe a good thing… i spent […]
