Tweet The leaves are starting to change, the weather is getting cooler, and pumpkin and apple items are out in full swing. I love fall. It is by far my favorite season of the year. And I missed it last year. Granted, I was loving my island life, but I did miss the colors, the weather, and apple cider. And as seasons change, so does life.  Last night a friend joked about what they were doing this time last year and I thought, this time last year I was working on report cards. My how time changes. In light of that, I have been very reflective over the past few…

Tweet Most people probably have mixed and perhaps strong feelings on the topic of astrology. I do not believe in it, do not read my daily horoscope, or really ever pay any attention to it. But from a personality standpoint, oftentimes it is dead on.  I have rarely held a job for longer than a year. And the few that I have had for longer than that, have been just one of many jobs I have worked during that time. I changed my major four times in college. I change my mind like the wind changes and I have as many interests as there are colors.  I have always had this restlessness. unfortunately, I have…

Tweet Determined not to let my current land-locked state hinder me, I have set off to cross another item off my bucket list.   The challenge: a half marathon. In eight weeks.   Being back in Indiana, far away from my little island has certainly taken its toll. For the most part, I am thankful to be home and I am really thankful to be closer to my family, but there is rarely a day that goes by that I don’t find myself looking wistfully out the window hoping it will be blue ocean I see instead of traffic. I know coming home was the right decision, but it has been…

Tweet It’s amazing how much we take for granted our sight.  Even if you wear glasses or contacts, you just never really think about the fact that you can see. Maybe it takes an extra step in the morning, but eventually you can see clearly and you go throughout the rest of your day not really thinking much about the fact that you can actually see. But what happens if that sight is gone? Or not as good? What happens when your prescription is out of date? Things get blurry. It is hard to see. Words are fuzzy. Life is cloudy. Welcome to my world. Things are a bit blurry.…

Tweet Seems like lately life has been full of a million changes that are also revealing more of myself to myself. Weird concept I guess, but it seems the more the outside changes, the more the inside changes. Growth we will call it. But there is one thing that has never changed. I do not like groups. Perhaps cliques or clubs or small groups are  better words.  Regardless of what you call them, I have never been one that wants to attach themselves to a group. I can tell you exactly why.   6th grade. Rough year I think for a lot of people. I had just moved half-way across…

Tweet Well, my first attempt to blog again ended in my well-thought out post mysteriously disappearing. It was here and when I published it apparently it vanished. So try attempt #2. I am back. And while this post may not be earth-shattering, I finally decided I needed to get back to writing. I love it so much, but just needed some time to process and adjust to life back at home.   Tis the season of weddings!!  That handsome guy is my brother and the bride is my new sister!!—>   My little brother got married about three weeks ago. I got home just in time for the wedding to…

Tweet Meet Tessa Zeng. Master Creator of Experiencing Revolution.   She is the embodiment of someone who has kicked the status quo to the curb and is carving out her own place in this world. A former art student turned rogue blogger turned future ebook extraordinaire-she is an inspiration and a catalyst for change and outside of the box thinking.   Lately, one of the things I am loving is making new friends that I have never met. Friends that have similar interests and ideas and are united under a desire to pursue our passions with gusto. Tessa is one of those people so I asked if I could interview…

Tweet Check it–> I have been blogging for NINE years! That’s right, 9!   For most of those 9 years, my mom was my biggest fan (and she still is!), but I finally decided I wanted to put a little more effort into this and put myself out there in the blogging world. I starting reading all these blogs created by people who seemed pretty similar to me–passionate, full of ideas, and with no desire to stick to the status quo. They have crazy successful blogs and I thought, “if they can do it, why can’t I?” This idea was scary to me. The thought of putting myself out there…

Tweet   I am almost finished with my site!! I just have a few final design touches to add, but I am ready to get back to blogging and for the most part the site is functional. I will officially launch it soon..stay posted!!
