I’m ready for the next adventure. The type of lifestyle I spent the last few years chasing - fun, expectation-free, and impulsive - has served me well, but I believe that chapter has come to an end. It has been a growing experience just to be present in my life without trying to accomplish anything … Continue reading The Next Adventure

Lately I’ve been asking for what I want. Whether it be boundaries, space, or more communication in a relationship.Or more money and flexibility at work.Or for my voice to be heard: together and alone. I’m speaking up. I’m being authentic.

I often have these moments where I find myself totally and completely in love. Yes, in love. Enamoured, hopeful, giddy, floating on an indescribable high, infatuated, existing in this perfect little bubble where it seems like nothing bad can ever happen.

Now the question is, are you gonna play it out? Or fold? Just last night I had … Continue reading Play The Cards You Were Dealt

Silence. I've been mostly silent for months now. Not because I don't have anything to say - I don't think we ever have to worry about that! - but because of a creativity block. All the content flowing through my brain is for me. Things I'm working through, processing through, dealing with, and learning from. … Continue reading What Exists in the Silence.

How did I get here? Again? I thought I was better. I remember back to the day when I woke up and realized my life wasn’t mine. That I had been allowing the people in my life to shape it because of my deep-seated fear of being alone; of disappointing anyone or pushing them away. … Continue reading Nothing Stays the Same

Success is a funny thing, isn’t it? First of all, who defines it? I hope the answer is you. You define it for yourself.
