Life

Roughly two years ago I wrote a blog post (Free Your Mind) about an article that I had come across.  The article was a mental exercise of sorts in self-discovery – 50 questions that you are supposed to answer without hesitation.  There are no right answers, and there are no wrong answers.  It is simply […]

One of the most thought-provoking ideas that I have come across lately, is the concept that you need to be the author of your own life.  I think that this is something that I have thought about in different ways for a long time, but never so clearly.  Be the author of your life.  Narrate […]

So I can’t almost believe this, but to be honest, I think that it has been years since I have done a “Lately” post on the blog.  (Insert my bulging eyes and shocked face here.)  I had always loved doing these posts as a way to catch you guys up with everything going on in […]

So guys, I know that I’ve mentioned this before, but when it comes to basically doing anything in life, I am typically either full-steam ahead, or slightly dragging my feet and putting things off.  I’m either super clean or sometimes (and I hate to admit this, but it’s true), happily messy.  I can be perfectly […]

I’ve heard it called a lot of different things around town, but for me, I think that I’ve got a bad case of the seven year itch.  I can’t almost believe that I am about to say this. . .but. . .I’ve been feeling a little bit sick of San Diego lately.  I know, shocking, […]

As a lot of you have probably noticed, I haven’t been as active with writing new blog posts or sharing new content on Instagram since the start of the New Year.  Maybe you’re thinking that I’ve gotten a bad case of writer’s block, have been busy traveling, possibly have gotten really lazy or have just […]

Here is the truth that I have been avoiding for, well, years.  I have been really inconsistent with running for a long time.  For some people, inconsistently consistent might be good enough in terms of exercise.  But for me, knowing the reward of being consistent with running, how amazing that feels, and how much easier […]

Growing up, I have such fond memories of watching White Christmas almost every Christmas Eve or Christmas Day when all of my extended family got together to celebrate.  I think that the movie was probably put on to intrigue us kids into settling down, but somehow none of us did very well with the whole […]
