Can I be honest for a moment, friends? This week kicked my ass. No really...it did. But like anything in life, there are always silver linings and little moments of joy we can grasp onto in the midst of the "oh my god, what is happening?!" kind of lessons. While this past week seemed to [...]
I was raised by a strong woman who was raised by a strong woman I learned to be tough To be driven To be strong To be fearless To be powerful To be motivated To be independent But I have had to become self-taught at the art of being soft.
It's okay that I'm a paradox. It's okay that I don't fit inside a box. It's okay that the beginning of this post rhymes, and the rest isn't going to. For most of my life, I thought it was about the box. The labels. I gave them to myself and to other people in order [...]
A couple weeks ago, I wrote an article (which you can read here) on the difference between being a world changer and just being opinionated.

Eyes wide open for the departure into the foggy night, I used to wonder if anyone else feared watching things take flight. For the first time, hands aren't shaking, heart is steady. Peace you left with me, and that's why I am now ready. I wasted years on fears through which the world I was [...]
I feel most like me when I am... Walking barefoot... Air-dried hair... Minimal to no makeup... Comfy clothes... Off the shoulder shirts... Yoga pants... Sun on my skin... Hiking with my dog... Long hair flowing... Free spirited... Soul enchanted... Mind captivated... Bohemian... Offbeat... Dancing to the song in my head... Creative... Creating... Reading... Dreaming... a [...]
