Today, just be yourself.
Because you are loved, you are worthy, and you matter, and you don’t need anyone’s permission to be—unapologetically—you.
Writing Off the Grid
It’s Time
I know that I’m not the only one asking, what happened to 2024? It passed incredibly fast, and now we find ourselves with less than a month to a new year. It’s the perfect time reflect on what you’d set out to accomplish this year, and what you actually got done.

Hold Steadfast to Dreams
What I love about life is that it’s not linear. There are mountains to climb and valleys to wade through. There are times of progression, when life is smooth and calm and just right. But there are, also, periods of regression, when I stand on the precipice of defeat. Not sure how—or if—I can soldier on. These phases are reminders that life is a journey. And through all the detours and ‘disruptions,’ we must hold steadfast to our dreams. [Read more…] about Hold Steadfast to Dreams
