Do you set goals for each new month? It’s something I like to do — and it seems to be very popular across the blogosphere. However, my personal goals have been nothing more than good intentions recently. My aim for November is to truly dedicate myself to the goals I’ve set…
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. By placing a small distance between me, my laptop, and my life online, I’ve come to realize the joy all this brings me. There’s an unlimited amount of information, inspiration, support, guidance…
In a recent conversation with my Mister, he pointed out something I’ve known to be true my entire life. I write about it often and you may find pieces of yourself in my story. I tend to bite off more than I can chew. Eager aspirations, best intentions, and ambition-infused plans are my weakness…
Hello friends! How was your weekend? Mine was fun and productive—my favorite kind. Thanks for all the sweet comments & tweets about my blogiversary! I’m excited to see what the 3rd year will bring. There’s so many things I’m looking forward to…

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…
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.
