A Weekend Recap

Hello lovelies! How was your weekend? Mine was quite wonderful. On Saturday, my friend and I drove 2 hours to our nearest Ikea. I picked up a few goodies including some picture frames and Christmas ornaments. I’ve been trying to get myself in the habit of waking up early, so on Sunday I set my alarm for 5:00 am. It was a quiet and peaceful morning spent sipping tea and reading…

A Return to Blogging

Hello lovelies! It’s been a little over 1 month since my last post — and oh how I’ve missed you. The time away provided some much needed space for reflection.

At the Moment

This summer has been heavy and thought-provoking. My career has shifted. My personal relationships have strengthened. I made it back to the yoga mat after a long pause. I have reaffirmed my choice to eat a (nearly) vegetarian diet. My heart and mind are open to new possibilities. I am letting go of the just. get. though. these. hard. times mentality — and am waking up to…

The Anchor

The Mister and I are in the final stretch of some major personal challenges. Friday could not come sooner. Until then, we wait patiently. Love each other a little extra. Rest. Believe in better things that are just around the corner. The next few months will bring shifting seasons. The Mister will begin his pursuit of an MBA in finance. I will dive back into yoga…

A Morning Worth Waking To

I have this vision of my ideal morning. It plays out quite similar to the start of a romantic comedy. An easy Bon Iver song plays in the background. I unfold my skinny arms and legs into a looong stretch. I roll over, shut off the alarm and climb out of bed with a serene smile on my lips…
