Around Here: January

Around here we’re getting back into the swing of things. After two weeks off, getting back into the school routine is so hard. We’ve had breakdowns in the morning, breakdowns at dinner … The struggle is real. Around here I’m getting used to the new work schedule.

2018 Goal Wrap Up

2018 Goal Wrap Up

You, Guys. How is it 2019? I felt so blindsided by the new year this year! Anyone else? Looking back on my 2018 goals (part 1, 2, and 1/2 way done), I have so much that I didn’t accomplish, but so much that I did. And I’m totally ok with that. Some of my goals last year I found out… Read More

32 Things

I know my birthday was weeks ago, but I thought I’d share thirty-two of my favorite things from this past year. I’m excited to see what this 33rd year brings (other than discussions with my brother of the fact that Jesus’ 33rd year is the year he died — yes, we totally have random, exciting conversations). Nickle and Suade earrings //… Read More

Coffee Chat

Coffee Chat

I celebrated another year this past weekend. Year thirty-two was pretty awesome. It was the year of the big earrings (these being my favorite go-to’s). I learned how to drive a stick shift — I wouldn’t say I’m an expert yet, but I can make it from point A to point B without killing it. I figured out awesome work/life… Read More

That was twelve years ago... and I almost listened That was twelve years ago... and I almost listened. 

I’m really glad I didn’t. To be honest, this person wasn’t wrong. At the time I wasn’t very good at writing. It was early on in my career. Hearing that I should give up was a punch to my gut and I had two choices.

I chose to get better. I still don’t think I’ve “arrived” but I am a lot better than I was then.

You got this. I’m cheering for you.
