So often we take advantage of the relationships with people we have around us. We have such a deep connection, such a strong bond, it almost feels invincible. What we forget is that life is delicate and beautifully fragile. It is desperately important to savor and appreciate everything we have, with everyone we share our […]
I have lots of favorites. LOTS of favorites. But easily in my top ten list of favorite things EVER is the month of October. That is right, the whole month makes my list of favorite things ever. Why? How could anyone NOT like October? Besides the gorgeous skies, crisp weather,pumpkins, and anticipation of the holiday […]
This is just a little reminder that sometimes, when you get caught up in the harshness of grueling routines and busy days followed by more busy days, you need to take a minute to think of something for yourself. Something fun. A small, little, 30 second recharge. An overstated statement, I know, but it really […]

So I was having a conversation with a lady not too long ago about how we were tired of all of the old, mismatched furniture in our houses and we were too poor to do anything about it. I say something along the lines of, “I would really love to just have an unlimited budget […]
Summer? Where have you gone?! Already we have come into the first work of school which, when your attending a university, means spending money, money, and more money. The cost of tuition is outrageous. Honestly how did I gain the “freshman fifteen” when I couldn’t afford to buy food to eat after wiping my account […]
Not just some days. A lot of days. Maybe this is because I am an anti-social hermit that struggles with depression and pessimism and selfishness….or MAYBE (most likely definitely) it is because people are just so ridiculous sometimes. I don’t know what it has been about this week, but people are just driving me nuts. […]
