Begin again

I wish I knew a perfect way to start this, but sadly that isn't the case today. I really miss having a creative outlet, something I never knew I needed until four years ago. I never saw myself as a "creative" person growing up. Growing up, sports were more of my thing. I was awful …

Sunshine and anxiety

  I haven't talked about my anxiety much on my blog. I wrote about it in my book I published this last December but I haven't written about it publicly on my blog. I have anxiety, something I always kind of figured I had but didn't want to ever try and get help for. It …

I came in like a wrecking ball.

I am very type A. I know I've mentioned it over and over again but that's because it's true. Have you ever seen that episode of friends where everyone gives Monica a hard time about leaving a pair of shoes out? She lays in bed at night and can't sleep because she wants nothing more …

Halfway through 2019.

Hey! It's me! Long time no talk! I haven't seen you since December 8th 2018. How have you been? This year has been amazing so far, and I haven't blogged about any of it. I turned 29. Started a podcast with my sister. Watched my athlete take 3rd at the state meet in the 110 …

I quit.

  I'm quitting. You may care. Or you may not. But I've decided to quit blogging. Sort of. It was one of my resolutions for 2018 to start my book. I've talked about it a handful of times on this blog. But it's my biggest life goal. (Besides visiting every major league baseball stadium) This …

A letter to you.

It's been awhile. 8 years to be exact. It never gets easier. We just get stronger. I could say that we miss you, but that would be an understatement. It's not the same without you. I know everyone says that, but it's true. Our huge family gatherings on holidays, don't exist anymore. Maybe that would …

Two years.

Two years ago I decided to do something. Something that I had done once or twice before. Something that was both exciting and terrifying at the same time. Sharing my feelings with the world one blog post at a time. Without knowing it, my best friend inspired me to start this blog. She inspires me …

DFSP

I’ve always been such a good kid. Seriously Don’t believe me ask my parents. I mean, they probably don’t understand just how good I was growing up. I never snuck out. Never went to any parties. Got as good of grades as I could. Even in college and growing up since then. I’ve never smoked …

Do something that scares you.

They always say to do something that scares you. To live outside of your comfort zone. That you'll be better for it. Well I hate to break it to you, but it's true. You don't need to do it all of the time. You'll be just fine if you spend most of your time your …

A letter to running.

Dear running, We met each other young. I was just a girl who loved to run and be active. It was fun, and I was good at it. It was something my sister and I could do together. We spent so many days at track meets. And people were starting to know our names. You …
