May 29, 2017.Reading time 17 minutes.

I should be dead. Or my life should be really messed up right now. I know that sounds exaggerated but after all the stupid and senseless things I have done starting at eighteen years old, it’s by the hand of God that I’m here and I’ve made it this far in life with the opportunities […]

Gossip, Insults, and the Gospel of Kindness

April 26, 2017.Reading time 17 minutes.

Lately, I’ve been saying this mantra to myself, “If it affects my cappuccino in the morning, then it’s not worth my time.” It sounds like a self-absorbed statement but it’s in reference to those things that try to provoke you at the expense of your health and well-being. Those stupid things that try to rob […]

Taverna Rossa in Southlake, TX

April 2, 2017.Reading time 17 minutes.

This week was randomly busy and highly temperamental. Productive yet unpredictable. It involved three confirmed tornadoes, a 5am workout, a failed family meeting with a fall out in vacation plans, car maintenance which is just boring to deal with, studying color schemes for a bridal shower that I’m in charge of hosting, and a day […]

March 22, 2017.Reading time 9 minutes.

Back in February when I raced at Questival, I was corrected by a guy who said to me, “We are all adults here so no, we don’t say “spring break” anymore.” Well, mr. adult feller, I still go to college and my friends are teachers so yeah, SPRING BREAK IS STILL MUCH CELEBRATED TO ME […]

February Favorites

March 1, 2017.Reading time 9 minutes.

I sometimes (maybe 85% of the time) have control-freak tendencies and these past few weeks have challenged those to the point where it’s actually done me good (crossfingershopenottojinx) but not without its difficulties. I have never been this busy before when it comes to school. But, I must be honest here…I have never really put […]

2017 Resolutions + January Check-In

January 18, 2017.Reading time 5 minutes.

We’re already midway through January and it has already flown by like a whirlwind, don’t you think? At least for me, it has. I worked all winter break, pulling five 12 hour shifts in a row for one of those weeks. While working, I also had a late start to Christmas gift shopping so on […]
