Maybe it is because I see a lot of myself in Fran - she’s from NJ, she was horrible at math, she’s sarcastic, and she’s gay...I could go on but I feel like even she would make a joke that these similarities are more common than rare.

Keep Going
Instead of a couple of times a week, it may only be once a week that I can manage to write something to share with you all. Writing is my true passion, and it is what brings me joy. I won't let responsibilities of growing older hinder the goals I have set out for this website, and myself.
In the Midst of Chaos
When the world is on overdrive to destination insanity - do yourself a favor and wait for the next bus.
To Do List: You
If you set goals for yourself in the age old “New Year, New Me” mindset - good for you. If you didn’t, eh no worries - I didn’t either. One thing I will propose you do after you finish reading this post is: think of one thing you promise to do that will be taking care of you this year - one thing that will leave you feeling happier, more loved, healthier, or better taken care of.

Keep on Dream Chasing
What does it mean to chase your dreams? Does it mean you don’t have a plan B? or does it mean you make a promise to yourself to just never stop pursuing what you dream of – no matter what age you are.
Pretzels & Poetry
I can't be the only one who has felt topsy-turvy over the past few weeks. This year has been a year I am allowing myself to feel those kinds of feelings, but I am regretful that my weekly blog posting has suffered because of it.
Let it Rain into Self-Motivation
Whenever it rains, especially for consecutive days - I always wish I was living in Seattle. I sometimes ponder to myself, if I have to deal with rainy days - why can’t it be in my favorite city?
Time to Reset
I’m planning on being intentional this week and in the coming weeks in setting my journey for the future - what are YOU doing intentionally for yourself?
