    In light of 2020.

    01/06/2021 - By 

    Just when I thought I was getting the hang of this whole life thing, 2020 came and flipped the switch on us. As we begin a new year that will no doubt linger with the darkness and heaviness of last year, I find comfort knowing that deep down, we know what to do when we find ourselves in the dark. While 2020 won’t be missed, it’ll always be remembered for the challenge it was. It was a year of pure fear and discomfort. Of everything being thrown off balance and just trying to find footing somewhere that didn’t hurt. A…

    Tell them who you are.

    12/07/2017 - By 

    I started this blog two years ago today. And I used to wonder what sparked it. Sure, it was a ‘creative outlet.’ But it ended up being so much more. Now I realize—I just granted myself permission. Permission to feel exactly how I feel. To have the guts to sit with those feelings, and tell them that they’ve been felt. What a wild gift we have to choose in favor of a healthy heart. That feels, that loves and that aches—but does not choose to stay there. When you choose to write your life into a public display of lessons…

    Season of Change

    11/16/2016 - By 

    Fall is known as the season of transition and change—both in the small ways and in the huge, life-altering ways. Changes in temperature, changes in color, changes in scenery, changes in time. But this year in particular, Fall came in guns hot. For one, my parents sold our childhood home in Orlando. We had lived in that neighborhood since 1998 and just last week my parents handed over the keys to the new owners. My last weekend at my house was definitely bittersweet. Sorting through and boxing up everything we had collected over the years definitely brought me back. Not to mention—…

    Gone MIA

    09/20/2016 - By 

    It’s been a hot minute since I posted on here, but here’s why I’ve gone MIA…because I’ve literally gone to MIA. I recently made the move to Miami and couldn’t be happier. In the beginning of July I packed up and started school. SCHOOL, AGAIN?! I know I know, if you would’ve asked me a year ago to go back to school, I would’ve looked at you, laughed, and then maybe thrown a bunch of sharpened pencils at you. But I am going back to school again, for the third time, and embarking on a whole new career path. I’m going…

    17 New Year’s Resolutions that Will Inspire Change in Your Life

    01/13/2016 - By 

    I have always had a love/hate relationship with New Year’s resolutions. January always seemed to carry so much energy and promise, yet I always found myself feeling a bit stumped. Mostly because I always felt my New Year’s resolutions were basically meaningless commitments I was forced to make as the clock struck twelve and champagne glasses clinked. Work out more. Find love. Find a job. But the truth is, you don’t have to wait until the 1st of January to turn over a new leaf. If anything, January 1st can be a benchmark date to check in on your progress. You can start to make positive changes in your life…

    2015 Rewind.

    12/30/2015 - By 

    I know it’s been said so many times, but I honestly think it is crazy how fast 2015 went by. I had a pretty lengthy to-do list this year, and I am happy to say that I checked off the majority of the list. I am not going to lie though; there were lots of highs and lots of lows. There were some challenges, both expected and unexpected. But there were plenty of moments with laughter and bliss, enough to make up for any of the rough patches. Here is a little recap of my 2015. January. Something really sad happened…
