Sunshine is pouring in through the window, brightly colored trees paint the forest behind our home. There’s a candle burning, new music playing in the background and a mug of delicious tea nearby. My Mister’s working intently on his homework while I type away on future blog posts. Our laundry machine hums upstairs. Cozy socks keep our feet warm…
When I woke up this morning, something incredibly important dawned on me. It was a sweet moment of clarity, which surprised me because I hadn’t even had my cup of coffe.

My dad is one of the most important people in my life. He’s been there for me through thick and thin—and as I’ve grown up, our relationship has evolved. He taught me that incredible things would come if I believed in myself and worked really, really hard. We are closer now than we’ve ever been. I know I can call him when I need advice or a shoulder to cry on…
Sometimes my friends who don’t blog ask me how I meet people online. There is nothing virtual about the friendships that have grown out of my time online.

Living down the street from a major university makes it hard to miss when school’s back in session. The roads are a bit more packed during the morning hustle, the weekend bar scene is brimming with fresh faces, and the grocery store is full of kiddos buying Ramen and Gatorade…
I adore spending time quietly reading blogs, sifting through emails and thinking about life. It’s during time like that when I feel connected, creative and energized by the work I do here online. In 32 days, I will be celebrating my 1 Year Blogiversary. I am filled with gratitude for all the magic that’s entered my life as a result of this tiny website…
July was a hot, summery month full of humidity, interesting opportunities and weekends away. A major highlight was when my mentor approached me with a simple request—while she unplugged for a month-long digital sabbatical, I was invited to send her updates on the net’s happenings…
Well hello there my lovely friends! I have missed you dearly. On Friday my mister and I scooted out of town without saying a proper goodbye to the interwebs. My plan was to sneak away to a beach weekend and focus on blogging. Return to my creative passion. Journal a bit. Hide in the quiet peace of vacation…
