It’s been a minute…

How long has it been friends? A couple of years I think… since I’ve written on this page. How is that even possible!? Life… has been “LIFING” as they say. I’ve traveled… Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Mexico (3 times)… camping, on a cruise with the boys… I’ve been living. And that’s the goal right? To liveContinueContinue reading “It’s been a minute…”

It’s 2022… A 2021 recap

To say that time flies by is an understatement. I mean… time really does get away from us. I haven’t posted anything since February 2021. That’s INSANE.

Everything I touch I feel, like I’ve been partially holding my breath because I can’t quiteContinueContinue reading “The grief monster”

In my mind when I think about it I see a group of girls holdingContinueContinue reading “My Village… Thank you…”

Sitting Still…

I have a habit of jumping into things with both feet, being a bit impulsive and THEN looking back and realizing that I’m having problems because I acted before thinking. I’ve been working on that this year. I’ve called this my year of sitting still. No going fast. No dating. No self induced negative energy.ContinueContinue reading “Sitting Still…”
