Happy Birthday Brother!
Today my brother turns 25 and I want to continue in a practice of writing him a letter each year for his birthday to reflect on the year that has passed and the many years ahead. To Josh: Happy Birthday little brother. Today you turn 25! It’s hard for me to believe that little boyContinue reading “Happy Birthday Brother!”
Tiny Little Update
Every so often I need some encouragement or inspiration to help me figure out what I want to write about on this little page of mine. Sometimes the inspiration hits and others I find myself logging in staring at a blank page with no real thoughts to share. I often find there is a desireContinue reading “Tiny Little Update”
Glee: The End
It’s been an interesting experience being a fan of glee since the very beginning. I rarely can say I’ve been a fan of something since it began, so glee is in a rare category of TV for me. It’s been ups and downs being a fan of this show but now that the finale is airing tonight, IContinue reading “Glee: The End”
IF: Gathering
I have so many thoughts about the IF: Gathering women’s conference I attended this weekend that I’m having a hard time collecting all my thoughts and the sermons/speakers associated with each breakthrough I had. The conference was so much better and more powerful than I had ever imagined, which shows you just how little IContinue reading “IF: Gathering”
February Hopes and Dreams
At the end of each month you’ll see a lot of posts reflecting on the month that is ending, but this month I want to instead offer some of my hopes for what the month ahead could include! February: I hope that you are a month filled with rejuvenation and renewal. I’m not sure ifContinue reading “February Hopes and Dreams”
Highs and Lows
I’ve written about this in previous posts, so excuse my repetition, but I’m constantly reminded that life is filled with the highs and lows and they are often existing in the same moment. I wish this weren’t true, but I seem to find myself most drawn to writing when life is at its low moments.Continue reading “Highs and Lows”
New Year 2015!
It’s going to be a brand spanking new year pretty soon, and while I’m not into New Years Eve parties, I definitely feel excited and rejuvenated with each new year. I see it as a time not only to reflect on the year that is ending but also a chance to make goals and aspirationsContinue reading “New Year 2015!”
Cartoon Realness & A Request
I know I’ve written about this a lot on this blog but writing helps and this is my outlet for all things writing. This is yet another post regarding depression and loneliness, both which have had a strong hold over me in the past 2 weeks. I have been writing and rewriting this entry soContinue reading “Cartoon Realness & A Request”
Be Still and know I am.
My blog feels very different than most of the blogs that I read and I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing. I don’t have “popular” posts about fashion/skin care but I do share insights and thoughts that I have about life and all it’s ups and downs hoping that whoever reads itContinue reading “Be Still and know I am.”
