Honestly, I am so glad this year is finally over. I went into 2019 with my head held high and it didn't take long for it to start knocking me down. It has been a serious roller coaster ride! I saw this end of the year reflection questionnaire post [ found here ] and thought... Continue Reading →
Well, this isn't Christmas related, but it is important to me nonetheless. Today is my 30th birthday. 30. Wowza! Most people cringe at the idea of aging, but I personally find it beautiful. I don't usually like making a huge stink about myself, but this year I have been a tad emotional about being 30.... Continue Reading →

Day Fifteen. Take a break from social media today and focus on the life around you. This is something I have been trying to do more of lately. It is a bit disgusting how much of a habit social media is. It's like reading the morning paper. Today I unknowingly did stay off social media... Continue Reading →
