February

February 19, 2019February 19, 2019Leave a comment

In Georgia, it's the season of hail like sea salt on the ground, and sunny, sleeveless days. This month I'm grateful for the twinkle lights in my office, that make it feel a little cozier--even with the blinds pulled tight to shield me while I pump. Even more so, I'm grateful for the people outside … Continue reading February

On Training Your Brain

October 9, 2018October 9, 20182 Comments

In our busy, modern lives, there isn’t much space for our brains to function free from stimulus. There’s constantly something: a text conversation with a friend who lives across the country, a quick perusal of Instagram, a podcast we’re listening to, a book that we’ve just picked up. Dinner to be made, dishes to be … Continue reading On Training Your Brain

On Adulthood

August 27, 2018February 19, 2019Leave a comment

When I was a kid, I used to play at being an adult (as most kids do). My friends and I set up imaginary grocery stores where we’d pretend to check items out. We’d dress up like doctors and nurses. We’d chide our “disobedient children” as we pulled sweaters over our dolls’ heads. And we’d … Continue reading On Adulthood

On Routine

August 20, 2018August 19, 20182 Comments

There is a series of events each morning that can usually set my day up to be a good one. They include getting up with my alarm, having time for tea and coffee with Jordan, and not having to rush around like a mad woman. However, our actual mornings only go that way about half … Continue reading On Routine

Gratitude and un-Gratitude: August

August 6, 2018August 15, 20185 Comments

You know those mornings when you wake up before the alarm, and the windows are still cloaked in cool nighttime colors? This is one of those mornings. Yesterday was almost one--I woke up before my alarm, but then I succumbed to exhaustion and closed my eyes again. That's the fatal mistake. It sets you up … Continue reading Gratitude and un-Gratitude: August

On Luck and Loss

February 16, 2018August 15, 20189 Comments

Right now I’m sitting on the couch with the window flung wide open, listening to the symphony of frogs that has congregated outside. It’s been unseasonably wet and warm. In the span of a week, we went from frozen soil and brown, withered plants to green unfurling everywhere. And best of all are the spring … Continue reading On Luck and Loss

On Change

April 30, 2017August 15, 2018Leave a comment

  Spring is wrapping up here in Mississippi. Now when I step onto the deck each morning with Chara, the air is as warm and soft as a second skin. The brilliant spring blooms have faded, and the garden is well established. And with these changes come other big life changes. About three weeks ago … Continue reading On Change

On wanting what you have

January 17, 2017August 15, 2018Leave a comment

Here in Mississippi, spring is on its way. The air is balmy and warm, birds flitter around our feeder, and Chara's fur gathers in tumbleweeds in the corners of our home. These changes, along with talk of New Year's resolutions, always turn my thoughts to the future. What's the outcome I see for myself? What … Continue reading On wanting what you have

On Finding the Bright Spots

November 28, 2015August 15, 2018Leave a comment

I'm going to start off with my usual spiel: I'm not a psychologist, or a life-coach, or any other such thing. I'm just a 24 year old girl who thinks a lot and writes to connect with other people. Everything below is my humble opinion, and it is not meant to tell you how to … Continue reading On Finding the Bright Spots

Some thoughts on exercise, and how to stick with it

September 14, 2015December 5, 2016Leave a comment

Lately I've been thinking a lot about what it takes to stick with exercising regularly. It isn't an easy thing for everyone to do. I know because I've decided countless times in the past that I'm going to start incorporating some form of daily exercise into my life, and then I usually do it for … Continue reading Some thoughts on exercise, and how to stick with it
