DEBT. Gross. That word just holds so many bad feelings, memories and associations. I can tell you that I have a really LONG and tumultuous history with money in general and debt specifically. Maybe in another post I will get more into the “how I got here” but for today, let’s just stay positive and […]

Sometimes we have to use “reverse principles” in order to break a bad habit. One of the ideas that James Clear writes about in his book Atomic Habits was the importance of not just forming new/good habits – but actions must be consciously taken to break old/bad habits that don’t serve our identity. I admit […]
With the reinvigorated spirit of January – I had to look at one of my oldest, and most reassuring relationships: My relationship with alcohol. I alluded to it in a past post but I want to do a more dissected view. I never really drank much in high school/early college. I went to a party […]
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 […]
Since one of my 2020 “goals” is to figure out my spending/debt, I have been doing some reading into the psychology behind it. One interesting tidbit I read in the book Atomic Habits was about the “Diderot Effect” which is named after the 1700s French Philosopher, Denis Diderot. To sum it up quickly – it’s […]
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 […]
I wrote about it a few days ago here: 2020 – What’s in store? – but my morning routine has been something I have been working on. I heard the title quote multiple places/times – but it SEEMS that starting a morning in a way that feels right for the individual, can help set the […]

Too much and gone
Blurting out unfiltered thoughts in a drug induced haze, pulling at heartstrings that play all alone Something inside told me to believe it. Something inside told me leave it. Showing up with flowers on the first date, the taste of a kiss you can’t forget. Secretly wanting it but knowing none of this really exists. […]
Stemming from a conversation last night, that also continued today, I thought about the importance of my lady friends. Of late (the last three years or so of my life) I have found out a lot about myself, who I want to be and who I feel I truly am. The truest form of me, […]
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 […]
