Today is my birthday, and I am happy. I haven’t spent the days leading up to today angsting about getting older, or whether I’ve done anything meaningful with my life, or whether I’m ever going to do anything meaningful. I haven’t stressed (too much) about whether I’m celebrating the “right” way or celebrating the “right” […]

This has become my go-to format for when life gets busy, apparently. 🙂 Loving What can I say – I just love summer. The warm, sunny weather, how much easier it is to spend time outdoors, the way the light lasts and lasts. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve come to realize that I use
Because it has been a chaotic few weeks (or months, let’s be real), I thought I’d blog about something a little different. Something that impacts my life as much as it impacts my writing. Anxiety. I’ve been pretty open in the past about having Tourette’s Syndrome, but I tend to push my anxiety disorder under

I’m not sure when I first began abstaining from political or politicized discussions. It might’ve been when I first came home from work, furious with my coworkers for tossing pro-Trump rhetoric around while disparaging the ideals and experience of Bernie Sanders and Hilary Clinton. It might’ve been the first, or the fifth, or the twentieth
Happy Official Start of Summer, everyone! I hope you’re enjoying the weather where you live, and not suffocating in this terrible Midwestern humidity like I am. Since it has been over a month since I’ve blogged and I’ve had a super busy spring, I thought I would just do a quick rundown of everything that’s
