For many years, I’ve done a once a year Q+A day. Well, today’s the day! Here’s how this works: Since I chat at you post after post, sometimes it’s fun to switch things up and find out what you want to talk about. For the… Continue Reading…Q + A day – let’s chat!

So the idea behind this series of posts was to take a few minutes at the close of each month this year to reflect on what I learned. It will act as a snapshot, of sorts, of the year and a way to mark and… Continue Reading…What I learned in May, June + July

I posted on Instagram yesterday something that’s going on in my heart. It seemed to strike a chord with my ladies over there so I thought I would share it here, too. You’re thing might not be fair skin, but whatever it is, be encouraged… Continue Reading…pale skin, I might not love you quite yet

  It’s been a super long time (like two years!) since I have done my annual Q+A day. Here’s how this works: Since I chat at you post after post, sometimes it’s fun to switch things up and find out what you want to talk… Continue Reading…Q + A day | In which you can ask any and every question

Every once in a while I like to play a game called CURRENTLY. I have done it in blog post form a handful of times throughout the years (here, here and here, for example). Basically, it’s just a list of categories and the first thing… Continue Reading…Currently | thoughts about life happening now
