The first roller coaster that sticks out, for me, is the Wild Thing at Valley Fair. The company my dad works for would host a company picnic alternating between Valley Fair and the zoo. My mom never went to Valley Fair but she also never misses a chance to sit and watch the monkeys. We […]
Finding Zen
Winter
“The breezes at dawn have secrets to tell you. Don’t go to sleep!” ~Rumi Perhaps this is why sleep is so elusive when I get home from work. That being said…I’m not sitting outside in this weather to hear those secrets. They will have to catch me as I’m quickly trying to get in the […]
Rituals & Routines
Lately I’ve been listening to a lot of podcasts on the importance of rituals. It’s intriguing. It got me thinking, what are my rituals and how often do I stick to them. * * * When I was in my late teens and early twenties, […]
Welcomed Death
It started on Saturday morning. Bash woke up not feeling well. He likes to sleep in the bathtub and relax as part of his healing process. I thought he was kidding. He can’t be sick…they don’t have to go to school on Monday. Bash isn’t a faker, at least when it’s not a school day. […]
Space & Boundaries
Welcome to the New Year! Hopefully this finds you healthy, happy and excited to tackle the adventures you pursue this year. I absolutely LOVE New Year resolutions.

What the FUNK?
Does anyone else feel like their life is COMPLETELY disrupted by the solar eclipse? My life, on the outside, hasn’t really seen much change, however, I feel like that eclipse has torn through the life of ones I care about and not in a particularly good way. For instance, my partner in crime at work… […]
Grace.
Do you believe that everyone you meet has a lesson for you to learn on your journey? I do too. If you answered no, I’d really like to chat with why you don’t think so, because I think that especially the people we DON’T get along with probably have the most to teach us. But […]
Apple Watch
Call me old school, but I don’t love being attached to my phone. I don’t love that people assume you’ll respond to texts or emails .2 seconds after receiving them. Maybe it’s because I like to think before I respond or maybe I just want to be an introvert and live in a hole. That […]
