In a world of straight lines, I am most definitely a squiggle. I've never been a conformist. Not one to take much direction. Definitely don't like being told what to do. I most certainly don't want anything to do with that cookie cutter life. I'm a socialite recluse, a lucky 13 and a wandering soul... Continue Reading →
Off the Grid
By the time you read this I will be well on my way into an adventure. Sometimes a girl has to get out of the city, you know? This year's Thanksgiving feast, for the first time ever, will be had by campfire. Legit camping folks. Not the glamping fancy pants transformer RV with a hot... Continue Reading →
Where did the Good Go?
We have a knack, as a society, to focus on the bad. I even catch myself doing it from time to time. I tend to focus on the things I don't have, the things I'm not good at, the parts I don't love about my body and what I haven't accomplished yet. Why am I... Continue Reading →
Dark Hearts
I couldn’t decide what to write about this week so I asked my brother and sister for suggestions. My first mistake. These were the responses I got: “People who ruin their own insults with grammatical errors” “Urban Meyer” – although very tempting, no. “Star Wars” “Blog about how cool nerds are” “Us” to which I...

I suppose this should come at no surprise being that we started it off celebrating one of the most prolific and poetic men in our country's history. We could all use a little Martin Luther King in...

Naughty or Nice
I'm not exactly sure how we got here but every December we convince children across the world that there is a dude, most likely a diabetic, with a closet full of red and white pants suits who knows when you're awake. It's the only story where a strange old man with a beard in costume... Continue Reading →
Things that Stick
It's amazing how many interactions I've had in this lifetime. I've come across a lot of people. Some people are significant, others have said significant things and many have proven themselves to be quite insignificant. Some I stay in contact with regularly. Others have turned into friends on social media. Some I speak to less... Continue Reading →
I bet you think this song is about you
You're not going to want to hear this but you have a problem. America has a problem. We all have a problem. While you may be the star of the show called your life, the spotlight doesn't always belong to you. In fact, there will be times it's not supposed to be on you. There... Continue Reading →
