Fun fact: I went to culinary school! I have a Bachelors in Hospitality, Food & Beverage Management and an Associates in Culinary Arts – from what feels like a whole other life almost now. That’s me in the picture below, in my senior practicum course of my culinary arts program! It’s funny because I think […]

The above picture/quote is from James Clear, author of the book Atomic Habits. Much like the picture at the end of this post – there is a lot more to life than just saying “yes” to everything. Saying “yes” will get you tons of opportunities and probably lead down many avenues that would have otherwise […]
I recently watched a very well articulated speech by a young man, who was the Valedictorian of his graduating class (presuming high school). He brought up something that I thought was especially relevant to me (and probably many others) right now. If you don’t feel like watching the video, essentially he speaks about how he […]
In my excitement for 2020 – I COMPLETELY forgot to talk about 2019! HOW DID I SPEND A WHOLE YEAR?! Here’s a little highlight reel and some thoughts/lessons learned… 2019 January Kicked off my 2019 with a girls trip to Hawaii. Spent time with an old friend from the military and saw a new place […]

Recently, I was thrown a bit of a curve ball, which in turn landed me in a situation I’m not all too familiar with…being “the other woman.” Who knew? Well admittedly, he did, but I wasn’t let in on the secret until later, unfortunately. Later…after he brought me coffee in bed, after a long night […]
