Two roads diverged in a wood and I–I took the one less traveled by and that has made all the difference
Today is officially the longest day of the year. If you've scrolled through your social media feeds lately the consensus is 2020 has been the longest year ever and we're only in June. So far this year has truly been a test of mental and emotional fortitude for everyone. For me personally, writing has been... Continue Reading →
About 2 weeks ago life was pretty much "business as usual" for many of us. Then our daily lives were altered in what feels like overnight. Some of us may have seen COVID-19 coming, but for many it may have felt like being blindsided by the virus and the need for mass quarantine. Regardless, of... Continue Reading →
When is the last time you checked in with yourself? When is the last time you've asked yourself how you were feeling? Honestly, I don't participate in enough self care practices.

Living in such a fast-paced world it often feels like time is never on our side. Dividing our time between work, school, and family can leave little time to do much else. In fact, a busy schedule can leave us stretched pretty thin. It’s easy for us to place our health on the back burner... Continue Reading →
Approximately 2 years ago I made a decision. I decided I wanted to officially learn how to swim. Now, I wasn't a total newbie to swimming. I knew the basics of swimming. I just never grasped those basics through practical use. I liked to say "I knew how to keep myself alive long enough to... Continue Reading →
