quick note on being honest

April 2, 2019 DreLeave a comment

You aren’t supposed to seem “too thirsty” if you like someone so you wait a whole day to respond to their text. You aren’t interested in someone but instead of… Continue reading quick note on being honest →

the necessity of letting it go

March 28, 2019 DreLeave a comment

I am as “type a” as they come. I love lists, and goals, and organization, and planners, and plans. I love living in the know. But as I am getting older, I have found that life forces you to live in the now. There are those who are derailed when the unexpected comes their way,… Continue reading the necessity of letting it go →

this christmas

December 3, 2018 DreLeave a comment

It’s the holiday season. Undoubtedly my favorite time of the year. My desk at work is all tinseled out and Maddie’s gifts are on the way [shout out to amazon prime!].

November 7, 2018 DreLeave a comment

I often feel like what’s the point of doing this? Why should I be concerned if I ever post another blog… Continue reading hello again, old friend. →
