I haven't posted on this thing in nearly a year. 2021 was a year of such ups and downs, I'm not sure how long it will take me to really process it all. It felt like the good was consistently overshadowed by the bad. It only

I don’t need to tell any of you how much of a dumpster fire 2020 was. You all lived through it. 2020 took too much from everyone, some more than others. I don’t want to dwell on the frustration, sadness and heartache that 2020 brought. I’ll be

We are about two weeks out from Christmas, just enough time to focus on five habits to retake control of my life. I’ll be honest, I do not feel great. Not in a the holidays stress me out kind of way (they do but that’s not the issue

This year’s quarantine has meant that since my last work trip at the beginning of February, I have not left the city of Lexington. I don’t think I have spent that long (eight-ish months) in one single town since I turned 18. I was desperately in need of

Happy Galentine's Day, everyone! Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that Leslie Knope declared February 13 “Galentine’s Day.” It is a day of ladies celebrating ladies. There are a lot of amazing women in my life. I rely on them when times are

I have been on a quest for a good night’s sleep for years. Now I don’t mean that I’ve never had a good night’s sleep, I have. However, it has never been consistent. Then this year, it got even worse. It took me at least two

Happy 2019! It's a new year filled with so much potential. I've included my list of goals that will (hopefully) help live a beautiful new year.

Back in my youth, I went on many a road trip with my best friends. We would drive anywhere and everywhere, to concerts, to new cities, on a new adventure each week. I fancy myself a bit of an expert on road trips and everything that makes a road trip

It is really hard to say goodbye to someone you admire. When you don't know a person, it is rare that their death will hit you hard. For me though, Anthony Bourdain's suicide has floored me. For the past few weeks, I have been trying to
