Greetings, Faithful Blog Readers! I’m honestly not sure how many of you are left so if you’re reading this please comment so I know I’m not typing in to a void;). It has been a fun and crazy last few months. From Florida, to France to England, I’ve been wearing out my passport and my […]
My New Creative Outlet – The End of the Beginning
You guys remember how I started the YouTube thing? You know, my “it’s a creative outlet whatever happens is fine I know people will think it’s stupid” YouTube thing? It’s actually super successful. And trust me, no one is more surprised then I am. As of this writing my channel has been watched over 1 […]
Gap Year Update! Back from Disney and Planning for Paris!
As I sit here drinking my coffee, I am overwhelmed with gratitude that once again, on a gorgeous Monday, I have nowhere that I have to be. It’s still a very odd thing to me – even several months into this temporary retirement – and every night that I go to bed and don’t have […]

If Today You Were Shunned
(I wrote this post in the time it takes to boil water for mac and cheese. This will make you think I am either brilliant or lazy. I don’t care. Enjoy.) I was a freshman in high school. I remember it like it just happened. (don’t worry, this isn’t actually a violent or abusive story. […]
Gap Year Update – Week 3
I THINK this is week 3. Is it week 3 or week 4? I really need to pull out a calendar and figure out what day it is. Having finished my first travel adventure, I have now settled into a somewhat predictable pattern on this sabbatical/gap year of mine. I actually do love routine, and […]
Why We Try New Things – Gap Year Update
Gap Year, Week 3 How are we only 3 weeks in? I feel as though a lot of life has been lived. I’ve re-done a closet, started a YouTube channel, been on a girls trip to Asheville, NC, and run a 15K race. I may need to re-think the pacing. After all, the point here […]
