simplistic believer. soul searcher. fear conqueror. deep lover. unrealistic dreamer. & forever finding my own voice in this chaotically, beautiful world.
I am now thirty one years old. Craziness, isn’t it?! I honestly never imagined being where I am in this moment. Or who I am. In the last several years I have grown into someone who loves her own skin. Someone who is proud of every scar and battle wound she has acquired. Years ago [...]

(Side Note; Yes, I make this face A LOT. No, it won’t stop. Yes, I have always been told some day my face will be stuck like that. No, I didn’t get out of my pj’s today. 🤷♀️) It’s okay not to be okay. . .✔️It's okay not to have to all together 24/7. ✔️It's [...]
Soooo it’s been a bit. . . I could make excuses or give you all the reasons why but let’s be honest; life happens & some times I don’t want to share what’s going on in my own mind and life. . I don’t want to share because it’s not ALWAYS a highlight reel. Life [...]

Change. Rapidly slams us into the unknown. A world we weren’t quite ready for but one we must own. Change. Slowly coming in the distance. It’ll be here soon enough regardless of our resistance. Change. We know it; it’s all around us But never the less it causes chaos. Change. It’s opportunity. It’s inevitable. It [...]
