on dreaming again

May 20, 2019 DreLeave a comment

Last summer when I started my own mentoring organization I had no idea what to expect. I had always mentored under someone else’s leadership. But I decided to stop getting in my own way with thoughts of inadequacy and just start somewhere. And surprisingly my summer program was what I considered to be successful. My… Continue reading on dreaming again →

on living with no regrets

May 14, 2019May 14, 2019 DreLeave a comment

i am sometimes tempted to regret. this is actually my second time writing this blog with that sentence as the starting line. the first time I couldn’t find the words to make this inspirational. it was more like a rant... on how I love too hard and trust too quickly and often end up disappointed.… Continue reading on living with no regrets →

i cried on Mother’s Day. i wasn’t particularly sad. i laid in bed, my daughter already sound asleep. and I began to reflect over my day as I typically do. then I suddenly became overwhelmed with thoughts of how much I love the people in my life. the ones that have remained over the years.… Continue reading beautiful destinations →

i love words. i always have. i can remember reading the dictionary when I was a kid, just because. even now, I look up at least one word a day. but this isn’t about me. this is about how words have power over us all. i can remember so many crappy things people said to… Continue reading about words →

unapologetic

April 8, 2019 DreLeave a comment

I’ve spent too much of my life trying to minimize myself. As women, we are force-fed this mindset from the time we are born. And honestly, it wasn’t until the birth of my daughter that I realized that I am enough. Like, perfectly enough. Not too much, never too little. I carried life inside of… Continue reading unapologetic →

quick note on being honest

April 2, 2019 DreLeave a comment

Honesty isn’t always comfortable. But it’s always right. Being unable to communicate your truth can create unnecessary hurt. Our society glorifies a lack of expression. 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 →

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 →

checking in with yourself through journaling

March 14, 2019 DreLeave a comment

I know I’ve talked about journaling several times now but it’s one of those things that has actually made a difference for me. I started journaling in September of last year, coincidentally at a time that I needed it most. People who are privy to the details of my personal life have commented on how… Continue reading checking in with yourself through journaling →
