I am now left handed
No amount of FBI skills or intuition can prepare you for a day like this. Evidently it’s taken me over two weeks to process what resulted in one of the best days of my life. As someone who is blessed enough to experience love & joy on a daily basis, believe me when I say,…

Human Spark Signals
Almost a month has gone by since I felt like I had something to say that was worth hitting your inbox. I don’t want this to become a place that needs to weigh that much in words, to matter. In the last month I got a new job (still working in treatment & recovery -…

Stop checking boundaries & set them
Do you have people in your life that, if you ask them for a favor, or to “hold space for you”, it constantly feels like you’re crossing one of their boundaries? This whole, asking people if they “have space for us” is fairly new age. I’ve participated because I used to label it as being…

Hibernation & Neural Manifestation
I made each of you a promise, very early on. No spam. If I had nothing to say, I wouldn’t say just anything. And that’s the result of the last 1.5 weeks: I sat, I put myself in the position for my “creative genius,” (as Elizabeth Gilbert coins it), to come visit me, and that…

What they didn’t teach us
HORMONES & CYCLINE SYNCING It’s come to my attention that the information on female hormones & cycle syncing on the internet is overwhelming. What brought us to the Google search bar in the first place? We know that we were robbed of this information in our reproductive education classes and in conversations with our primary…

Is it oversaturated or is it your ego?
Hypothetically speaking let’s say you and I are grabbing a coffee, complaining about the things we love the least about our jobs and you share this aspirational dream to do some said thing. Let’s say you’ve only seen it done once before or maybe you’ve seen it done 1000 times, but you have an innate…

Feeling better at 32 than 22 – what changed:
I was never a big drinker. I certainly celebrated a thorough college life, but I was also known for throwing shots over my shoulder when everyones heads were titled back and mastering the Irish exit. This isn’t that story, of the thirty-something that went from rager to radiant because she chose a “softer” life. This…

A Good Friend, in adulthood
When you’re young, what constitutes a good friend is someone who’s down for a good time, lets you borrow their best, will belt out the same song out of your car windows with you 100 times, covers for you, tells you have something in your teeth, lets you cry about the same boy for years…

What you wear, has a voice
Riding on the coat-tails of last weeks reflection, I’ve been paying closer attention to our choices, mostly my own. I have felt a newfound sense of femininity and girlness in me lately. But full spectrum – we are talkin’ from pink sequins to random outcries in my car and laughing 20 minutes later (some would…

Are we cloning ourselves for the tribe?
Not to discriminate but this one is most likely for the ladies. Let me start by saying, there is nothing wrong with a good remix and bringing back old style staples and aesthetics, but giving old things new names, feels like plagiarism of its original era & cultural icons. The “protective hair style” with deep…

discounting betrays you
Several years ago, when I was in a “rut” during my career (rut being unhappy and unfulfilled because I dropped out of nursing school and decided to write a book while also working a corporate entry-level gig to make ends meet) – I said the words, “I can’t, I’m broke” to a colleague. To which…

Happy New day!
My “New Year”? My birthday. Can’t explain it – it just makes more sense to me. The true, “turning of the page” the “next chapter” the “level up” signal – New Years Eve is just another holiday someone made up to have us believe in hope and the ability to start again. And there is…

your version of 100
I’m not sure exactly when it was that this understanding came to meet me. Quite frankly I would have benefitted from it much earlier in life. This questionable logic that I’m about to offer you serves any relationship – romantic and non, single or multiple, work or personal. But the outfit that it looks best…

Gift Digest for, the overwhelmed
And just like that Black Friday is behind us, Cyber Monday is before us, and sales still don’t do justice to the year 2018 when old women were getting knocked in Best-Buy for flat screen TV’s that were 70% off. Now, we are amused by a mere 20% discount on a hair mask that we…

Fads are forever
Remember when you were a kid and there was always a jug of 2% Milk in your fridge? And then suddenly you’re 17 and you wouldn’t be caught dead drinking it because Almond Breeze was the lead performer. But several years later, Oat Milk is headlining and Almond Milk becomes a has-been. Then Oat Milk…

Shopping? in this economy?
Whether Santa Claus pays for your CC bill or your company decided no one is getting a bonus this quarter – this economy is trash. Pasture raised eggs are a whopping $10 and Zara thinks they’re Sézane. Two years ago, I committed to reducing my fast-fashion contributions and *minimalized* my wardrobe without going full capsule.…

The truth about “Extroverts”
I can’t tell you if I first heard this on a podcast or TikTok University but it helped clear up the calamity between who identifies as an introvert and who is proudly an extrovert. There are two types of people in the world: Those who wake up with a bag full of coins, and those…
