    To The Woman That I Was

    As I sit here reflecting on everything that’s changed, the most noticeable difference is me. I could list all the major events over the last 2 years that ultimately led to burning my entire life to the ground but none of that holds any weight here now. To the woman that I was, I forgive…

    Sunset Paddle – Rom Com

    8/19/2026 – Sunset Paddle When I started this blog and the rom-com series, it had been living inside my heart for quite some time. Never did I imagine I would put out an advertisement for a summer fling, much less except to meet such an interesting human. A delightful surprise, even for me. That was…

    Threshold Reflections

    This season ended differently than I planned, but it did not end without growth. I spent years believing I was falling behind, that I was failing. That if I just tried harder, worked more, pushed through the pain, I’d finally catch up to the life I thought I was supposed to be living. My body…

  • Not What I Expected

    Not What I Expected

    This is not the next entry I had planned and certainly not what I expected to arise on our trip. The Synchronicities were too much not to share. They feel too real not to put into words. It started out as small moments. The song on the radio, the same one we would dance to…

    The Back Story:

    Pull up a seat – It’s story time I’d love to tell you this story started in 2025, but the truth is, it began much, much earlier.

  • When the Tether Broke

    When the Tether Broke

    Last year I flew out to California for a wedding, one of my longest friends was finally marring the love of her life and I was honored to be in her wedding party. I had this horrible knot in my stomach leading up to it that I shouldn’t leave.
