I'm finally in a place where I feel I can write this letter to myself. I have had this post in draft for over a year and I set a goal for myself to grow strong enough to write this. At some point, I knew I had to write this. I knew in order for [...]
I had the intention of posting this back in January, but I stopped creating a timeline for myself when writing posts and just writing when I feel compelled to. Highly recommend this practice! Also, it took me a while to come up with 28 fun facts about myself. Okay, so 28 facts about me for [...]
After a year of learning, I come to you typing this from a brand new perspective. I will always be transparent and open with you all. I am here to bring realness to your mind and heart and I am always trying to be relatable, but I know very few of you (maybe none of [...]

The day we lost you put a permanent hole in my heart. I remember this day so vividly and have relived each moment, rewriting the ending with many "what ifs." Though many years have passed, it seems each day brings something new that I wish I could share with you. The truth is, I will never stop [...]
The last seven years have been QUITE an adventure. Being a college/grad student is a tough job that many do not understand unless they have "been there done that." Am I right or am I right!? Nicholls has been my home the last seven years (tears). It has been my constant and the place I [...]
I really don't have enough words to say how wonderful my Dad is. He is the only man in this whole world who has never let me down, disappointed me and loved me with his whole and entire heart. Through his actions, I am reminded that there are GOOD men in this world. Men have [...]
