United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Washington DC (November 2021) Admittedly I did not plan on writing a blog post for Holocaust Remembrance Day (1/27/22), but I woke up yesterday I just couldn't stop thinking about it. It's important to me to acknowledge this because I am continually seeing more and more bits of history lost … Continue reading Holocaust Remembrance Day

20 Years Later…
In honor of the 20th anniversary of 9/11, I really wanted to write something profound... something meaningful. Then I thought to myself, what could one ever write to give it enough justice? Could I ever write anything "good enough"? Probably not, but I damn well wanted to try. Then just as I sat down with … Continue reading 20 Years Later…
Thankful: 2019 Edition
So as I sit here in my local cafe on this gloomy Sunday before Thanksgiving... I was staring at this blank computer screen for a while. I have one of those super annoying rainy-day headaches that isn't seeming to go away, and I was drawing a blank as to what to write about. I have … Continue reading Thankful: 2019 Edition
This Is 33
Yesterday I turned 33. I know birthdays can bring a bag of mixed emotions for most people. Some are super enthusiastic about their birthdays and really do it up and celebrate. Others feel a sense of sorrow or resentment at the thought of being another year older. Some are just reminded of all those who … Continue reading This Is 33
On This Day…
I realized on my way home from work the other day that I was in the exact place I was once only dreaming of exactly five years ago. In fact, I have gone completely beyond what my original vision even was. I could barely imagine where I am now. I don't remember the exact date, … Continue reading On This Day…
Strong Not Skinny
I posted a quote on Instagram almost two years ago that read "F*ck skinny, get fit". I remember seeing the quote on Pintrest and it really struck me since I was just really getting into fitness around this time. I planned to simply post the quote on my feed not even really thinking about what … Continue reading Strong Not Skinny
Looking Back on 2018
Honestly, I can't believe that I am sitting here writing any kind of recap at the end of 2018. In some ways it seems like a really long year, then also seems to have gone by in a blink. Ya feel me? It was a year filled with some definite lows, along with some amazing … Continue reading Looking Back on 2018
T’was the Night Before Christmas…
T'was the night before Christmas, when all through the house not a creature was stirring... not even the dog! In fact, just moments ago it was a full house and now it is just me, the dog, and my parents' laptop. I am down at my parents house in South Carolina for my much-needed vacation. … Continue reading T’was the Night Before Christmas…
Thankful
As my wonderful long weekend is wrapping up and I am gearing up to be back to the grind, the only thing I can think to write is a list of everything I am thankful for right now: *Having my entire family together in one room for the first time in almost a decade; I … Continue reading Thankful
Nerdy By Nature
This past weekend I knew that I really needed some time to myself. Now I actually miss being bored! I took all of Saturday to do exactly what I wanted without feeling obligated to tackle my to-do list (which always seems to be a mile long). In theory this was a stellar idea and just what … Continue reading Nerdy By Nature
