I’ve been on the struggle bus the last couple of weeks in regards to motivation for my own things. Doing things for other people is so much easier. I think I finally figured out why this is (at least for me): doing things for other people takes the decision-making away, so you can’t get caught […]

I know we’re already almost halfway through October (which is honestly insane), but I’m getting caught up on Inktober drawings.  For those not familiar with Inktober, it’s a a drawing challenge with a prompt for every day through the month of October.  It’s a fun exercise to get into a creative flow, practice your art, […]

In July, my boyfriend and I decided to go try our luck gold panning. While we didn’t find any gold nuggets, I did come away with some personal nuggets of wisdom that I often forget. I’m able to do more than I think I can. I climbed up and down a pretty steep bank from […]

Originally I was planning to write about a health related small win, and how it’s really those little things that keep you going. And while I’ll still mention that, the Universe felt it necessary to point out that it’s not just health stuff where that matters – it’s life in general. I know that everyone […]

Ok. Ok, ok, ohhhKAY. Many, MANY things have happened since I’ve wanted to start this website, the most notable being my diagnosis with MS. It was a truly shit day, because not only was I diagnosed with an incurable disease, but two hours prior I had woken up to find our dog had died in […]

I am tired. I know I’m not alone in this, we’re all tired. Physically tired from doing (or trying to do) everything.

I’m going to write this down as a note that I am coining the phrase “Millennial Sigh”. I’ve been using it in my own life for a while, but I think it’s a really good, descriptive term and I want it “on paper” so to speak. I feel like it’s self-explanatory, but it’s just that […]

Yeah, I’m annoyed. And I’ll tell you why. It’s so annoying that the simple things – the things everyone tells you your whole life – are the things that make you feel the best. This isn’t news, but it’s a hard lesson that a lot of us, me in particular, have to learn. Some very […]

Let’s see, what’ve we got in the ol’ idea bucket today. Ah, the Olympics are timely! What about that? Fun fact: I haven’t missed watching an Olympic games since I was born. My mom was in labor at the hospital watching the 1984 games, and I’ve seen every one since. It’s a point of pride […]

There’s a lot floating around in my brain – July was SO MUCH. Most notably: – I got one wisdom tooth removed – My folks came to visit – We dog sat for 12 days – There was an unprecedented thunderstorm that pummeled our city and the surrounding area – Because of said storm we […]
