There’s something about September that brings me happiness. It’s still very warm where I live, but there’s a hint of cooler times ahead. The seasons are starting to shift. This last 1/3 of the year always flies by. I think it might be my favorite. I have a few goals for this month. Intentions that I hope…
Things are turning around here after a couple really tough months. I am rediscovering my very simple, yet completely extraordinary, life. Things have been crazy, but I knew we’d make it to the other side. I think we’re nearly there. It’s the calm after the storm. Yesterday I flipped through magazines and watched romantic comedies while my Mister studied for his first exam…
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…
Hello my sweet friends. I hope you’ve been well and enjoying your summers. I wish we could meet up for a cup of coffee to catch up. I have so many stories to tell. The Mister and I are slowly getting settled in our new home. There are still boxes left unpacked. Drawers to organize. Laundry to put away. Dust to clean. Finishing touches and decorating to do…
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…
First of all, I want to thank Kaileen for the opportunity to guest post for her! I am so excited to be here today. My name is Caiti, and I blog at Life is a Canvas. When Kaileen shared that she was facing a number of amazing life changes including a new apartment with her mister in a new city, I was so excited for her! It’s such an wonderful time full of new possibilities…
The first half of this year has been rocky, but I can feel change coming. The shifting seasons and passage of time bring a reminder that everything we experience is fleeting. Moments of joy, heartbreak, struggle, celebration—all temporary. It is both a gift and a curse. It is the magic of this experience we call life…
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…
Recently, life has been a series of sprints and pauses. Just as I find inspiration or gain momentum, something derails me. I find myself craving the power to organize the gifts, surprises and struggles in my life. I suppose this is something we all go through. From where I’m sitting, it seems futile to resist what the universe presents…
Hello friends! I’m feeling excited and energized after a fabulous blogcation. The time away gave me a chance to relax and reflect, all while showering my Mister with extra smooches. It’s really nice to step back and breathe. I’ve taken pauses from blogging before, this is the first time I didn’t feel guilty about it…
