DEAR SANTA
Dear Santa, I know its been a long time since I wrote to you. I’ve been busy. Yeah, that’s the go-to excuse, right? Busy. I’ve never stopped believing in you deep down, but I feel like I’ve aged-out of asking for gifts. But here I […]
GETAWAY (SAFELY)
It’s 2020 and we are in a pandemic. It feels wrong to say I’m writing this from an airplane, but here we are. I’m on a flight back to Nashville as I write this. Somewhere over Colorado, I think. Since March, the most I’ve really […]
PERSPECTIVES
It’s been months since I last blogged, and it isn’t for lack of content. It is the overwhelming amount of content filled with an overwhelming amount of emotions that has held me back. It’s fear of backlash. It’s fear of saying too much. It’s fear […]
THIS NEW NORMAL
I made an instagram post yesterday on my photography IG marking 45 days of this madness for me. I started a photo project #findingjoyduringcovid (I love that there are now many people using that hashtag!) on March 18th. I kind of think of St. Patrick’s […]
IT’S ALL SO DIFFERENT
It’s Holy Saturday. I’m not with my parents. I don’t have plans to go to church tonight. I’m sitting at my kitchen table, drinking coffee and planning out a virtual Aggie Muster. Everything is so different right now. I no longer go grocery shopping. I […]
SPOOKY TIMES
How about that 2020? That new decade, new beginning, new… wait a minute. Well, I guess you could definitely say what we’re facing now is new. Two things you should probably know about me, if you don’t already. I’m a professional worrier. And I am […]
BELIEVE IN NASHVILLE
Two weeks ago, I attended a get together in downtown Broadway in which “the 1998 tornado” was talked about a lot. It happened 9 years before I moved to Nashville, so I only know the stories I’ve been told. Not a single person could have […]
TWELFTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS
Ever know something, but not really KNOW it? Like, you know this one fact, but the weight of it doesn’t really click until you have this light bulb moment and suddenly it all makes so much more sense. This has happened to me a lot […]
NEW YEAR PERSPECTIVES
Its a rainy January 2nd. A perfect day for coffee and writing. And taking down the inside Christmas decorations later. My year kicked off with a fire pit in the backyard with my husband. We gave each other for Christmas a new Solo Stove Bonfire. […]
PAUSE AND LOOK BACK
Let’s face it. It’s the end of year. It’s the end of the decade. We’re all taking a moment to look back and look ahead. We’re in that weird limbo time between Christmas and New Years when time seems almost suspended. I spent a lot […]
