Family & Friends

Since I spent the first 14 years of adulthood without really having friends, I didn’t attend many weddings. As a matter of fact, only my mother’s. I was asked to be the Maid of Honor in my cousin’s wedding, but wasn’t able to travel to Oklahoma to attend or be part of it. Even after […]

A few weeks ago I shared about some losses I’ve experienced in my life due to the natural cycle of life (and death). Today I’m going to share about other losses outside of death. For example, friendships coming to an end, family members not speaking, old jobs, or other situations. Basically, the changes in life. […]

There’s been a lot of change in my life recently, as well as almost everyone I’m close to. I know change is the one thing that we will all experience in between the dashes in the dates that define our existence…but this has me contemplating a lot of things. One of the most prevalent things […]

I mean, besides the whole loving, encouraging, and accepting of each other for where we are and the choices we make. Are you familiar with the Arianna Grande song about her exes where she’s sharing what […]

One of my favorite things is to experience new adventures and try new things. Especially when it’s something I’ve always wanted to try. And it’s even better when I get to do those things with the people I love. I had the opportunity to go river tubing last week with a few friends and a […]
