I have a mere three days left at my current job. I'm excited for the changes and opportunities that lie ahead of me, both at my new day job and through Use The Clutch, but it is a little weird leaving behind something that I've been a part of for over five years. I resist change … Continue reading On loving some of the things I love….

It's funny to think of leaving a legacy. Probably because I've always felt that I'm just too young to be thinking about it. My grandparents left (or will leave) incredible legacies, but they're, well, OLD! The reality, though, is that their legacy began far before they were "old" (which is a stupid word to describe … Continue reading On thinking about the future me….

It's not easy for me to lose track of time; let's just put that out there. I've become known in my circle of friends as the person who can plan her life in 15-minute increments. I'm super Type-A and can admittedly be kind of a control freak sometimes. So when I do lose track of … Continue reading On finding the time….

For as long as I can remember, I've been the type of person that wants to look my very best nearly all the time, even when I'm camping. Call me crazy, but that's how I've always rolled. Pretty everyone that's ever known me knows this to be true. I took it to an extreme once … Continue reading On radiation, love, and acceptance….

The other day, my creativity came up in conversation with my husband. We're both rather creative people, to be honest. He's written several books and has come up with no less than three different universes for those books. It's pretty amazing. I'm looking forward to hearing the stories he comes up with to tell our … Continue reading On creative disasters….

There are a lot of times in life when I just want to be the best at everything, anything, whatever comes my way. I get this feeling in my gut when someone tells me I can't do something that makes me want to be the best EVER and just go for it. This has happened … Continue reading On being average….

I recently read a post by Ash Ambridge via Erika Nepolitano (RedHeadWriting...really, you should check out both sites, because they're pretty awesome gals) which was something of a wake-up call for me. For a long time, I've been flirting with a lot of career moves...well, I've been flirting with starting a career at all, frankly. … Continue reading On getting serious with me….

I think we all have a path; some sort of destiny that we're to fulfill. Some find their path much sooner than others. Some, like me, take their sweet time trying to figure out exactly what they're supposed to do and when to do it. But with that, I think there are several paths that … Continue reading On feeling engaged….

There are people that like surprises and people that loathe them entirely. I'm part of the group that likes them. In fact, I kind of love them. I think that probably has a lot to do with my propensity for organization and planning. When you have the capability of planning a day (nay, a LIFE) … Continue reading On living in the moment….

"It's not like I subsist on external validation; but it is nice to get it from time to time." - meFor a long time, I think I did subsist on external validation. It was like I had to hear from someone else that I was good enough or smart enough in order to really believe … Continue reading On the validity of life….
