I've found myself in a lot of conversations about love lately. Where is it? How do you keep it? Does it exist? Why haven't I found it? Who has it? Can you buy it? There's all kinds of love out there. There's the love you have for your friends and family, the love you share... 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 →
The cell
If we let the world keep on spinning the way it is, before we know it, human contact will be extinct. Everything we want is literally at our fingertips. You can order delivery, deposit checks, send a message to a friend while ignoring a call from another, pay a debt via Venmo and confirm your... Continue Reading →
Home sweet Home
Home sweet home. Home is such a vague term and yet it holds such a significant place in our hearts. While it technically means the place where a person lives, it is so much more than that. Home can be where you grew up, where your parents live, where you've raised your own family, where... Continue Reading →
Birthrights & Braids

Maybe it's because I'm having serious Game of Thrones withdrawals or maybe it's because I'm doing whatever I can do to avoid the fact that chokers and platform shoes are trying to...

Reality Confessions
I have a confession to make: I watch the Bachelor/Bachelorette. I also realize that makes me an idiot. In my defense, it's more background noise while I catch up on emails, write and shop for shoes I've found on Pinterest that have been discontinued since 2002. But back to the point, guilty as charged. I... Continue Reading →
StarCrossed
As you get older, things get more complicated...and by things I mean everything. There's a huge difference between the stress of who you're going to pick to be on your red rover team and who you're going to choose to be in your wedding party. There's the crumpled five dollar bill you chase an ice... Continue Reading →
Somebody I used to Know
It's always extremely humbling when something you were so sure about doesn't go according to plan. Whether it's a game, an audition or a relationship, it's never a good feeling to be wrong. It's like wearing the losing team's jersey long after the game is over. Everyone knows things didn't exactly go your way which,... Continue Reading →
The Plus One
For those of you who don't know me, I'm a midwestern handful, sports enthusiast, sarcasm specialist, lover of all things magical and vodka infused, book nerd and wedding connoisseur. Weddings are my jam. What started out as a business transaction has now become a very expensive party in which two people celebrate their love by... Continue Reading →
