"What is the one thing you wish people better understood about something in your life?" I think one of the hardest things to explain to people is that I'm an extroverted introvert. Adding to the madness is that I'm a chronic people pleaser. So while I love helping people, I also can't say no to … Continue reading On clawing my way through life…

On falling out of trees…
I've been practicing yoga for a while now. Not a terribly long time, but for me (a person who chronically gives up on sports) it's been something I've stuck with almost as long as I did cheerleading. It's been about six years I think (I was a cheerleader for ten years). Yoga has been something … Continue reading On falling out of trees…
On learning to change…

But this morning, … Continue reading On things that define me…
On all the things I’ve done…
I've done a lot of stupid things in my life. But I've also done some really brave things. My current bravery isn't in jumping out of planes or swimming in oceans...but it reaches just as high and just as deep. #NaBloPoMo
On remembering to shower….
I've been spending a lot of time recently thinking about self care. It's a term that I've only really heard of since becoming a mother, which is silly because everyone needs some amount of personal care at all stages of his or her life. I think it's just that before I was a mother, I … Continue reading On remembering to shower….
