Adulting 101: Moving On Doesn’t Mean Giving Up

Life's like a race. If you stop, you're more than likely to get run over. (Brutal, I know...sorry...) So if there's one thing we just have to keep doing, it's move on. Now I've had my fair share of drama (surprise surprise), and there was one headache--I mean girl in particular a couple years ago...I won't delve into …

My Thoughts on Life

Hey guys! I know it's been a long time...thanks for sticking around despite my inactivity these past few weeks! Sometimes all we need is a good reset to get our motivation and inspiration flowing again. Anyways...today's topic has been brewing in my head for a couple weeks now, so I'm just gunna get right to …

To Fear or Not to Fear? That Shouldn’t Be a Question.

Fear. That little monster that always looks bigger than it actually is. It feeds on our confidence. It casts this cloud over faces that should be bright. Fear blinds. If there's one thing I'm learning being a new YA and all is that life isn't always sunshine and roses. Life can get hard. Sometimes, you …

The Classified Files: It’s A Shame

It's a shame you and I aren't as close as we used to be. Because if we were... I could have been there for you when you got caught up in the wrong crowd. I would have kept your feet glued to the right ground. I could have smacked you for saying certain things out loud. I would …

Adulting 101: How to Make Your Words Mean Something

In one of my earliest posts, I wrote about how important it for us to say what we mean and mean what we say (check it out here:  Adulting 101: Say What You Mean & Mean What You Say). And we really should. I was raised being taught about the power in words. That's why I've …

YA Feature: Judith. The Dancing Traveler.

As promised, this is the YA Feature for February ...in March! 😂 One of the things I love about life is all the great people I meet along the way. Judith Rotering is one of those people. She came all the way from Germany to volunteer for a foundation--and she's been doing an awesome job teaching …

The Road to One Hundred

It feels like only yesterday I was frustrated because I didn't know anything at all about this thing called blogging.  Today, my follower count just hit 100. Now, I know that to you bloggers who have been doing this for way longer than me, this is nothing compared to the numbers you're crunching. But I'm sure you …
