I’m going to be what most people online aren’t: honest. Life is freaking hard. Just when you feel like you’ve finally got both feet under you and start moving forward, the universe decides to throw something else your way. Control is an illusion. The only real control we have is over ourselves and how we…
If you’ve read anything I’ve written, it’s obvious I’m Christian. I’m not the kind that is knocking on peoples doors to “save them”. You do you. Your belief system may be different from mine. That’s ok. I won’t sit here and argue with anyone about who’s right or wrong because it will accomplish nothing. I…
I had my last day at my job Friday. It was my choice. I resigned and left on great terms. They countered and offered me a promotion. My director advised me I was one of the only people he’s ever done that for. I greatly appreciated being valued but politely declined. There were reasons why…
I met a friend for coffee. She recently went through a disastrous breakup with a loser she thought was “the one” and is dating again and told me all her dating horror stories and that’s she’s still hurt by her ex and asked how on earth she could find a guy and be married and…
I’ve heard if you’re friends for longer than seven years that your friendship is for life. I knew of Ivy and had met her several times throughout my life before we really connected in 2017 (seven years ago). We’re actually relatives.

Today is Tyler’s 29th birthday. He couldn’t figure out what he wanted to do. I threw out so many suggestions. But nothing seemed to be just right. Yesterday, in this crazy heat wave, he had mentioned today would be a good pool day. This made me think and ask “Well, do you want to do…
Tyler and I met in person on windy November day. We decided to get coffee at Hyperion Espresso. I told my dad I would be back in an hour as I was just going out on another date. We ended up spending the entire day exploring the city . I did keep my dad and…
I suck at following through on keeping up with writing. Man, has a lot happened since my last post. I took a break from the blog for a while because, well, life. Recently, I’ve been running a lot and it makes me think and process things which leads to posts. Two years ago seems a…
Tyler proposed in Magic Kingdom, a year ago today and it was magical. Just before the fireworks, with a hand carved box in front of the Walt Disney and Mickey statue in front of Cinderella Castle. He planned the whole thing out and put thought into the ring. It was gorgeous, vintage inspired, delicate, with…
I’ve trained my body, but more importantly I accidentally trained the cats (it’s not that hard, we have four now) to wake up between five to six AM. This is great Monday through Friday, however, today is Saturday morning. I attempted to fall back asleep for two more hours until I gave up and gave…
