“Women always try to tame themselves as they get older, but the ones who look best are often a bit wilder.”-Miuccia PradaLove Lately I’ve felt tamed having to adhere to the rules of a world that I do not belong to. I feel this heaviness, chains, a weight bearing hard on me. My wings….oh my […]
Adventures
Self-Care, Guilt and Frazzled
I leave for my third solo trip in a year in two days. Two words to describe me right now: Nervous and Guilty So nervous makes sense right? Long flights, first trip to Europe, booked a room with a roommate I’ve only seen on FB in order to save money which now I’m questioning because […]

Into The Great Wide Open I Go
September I’m taking a trip that I had planned on taking thirteen years ago. Before marriage, two children and two careers I dreamed of exploring the west. I know not exotic or international but at the time I wasn’t thinking as big as time has now allowed me to dream. I just knew I thought […]
The Bucket List
How can you possibly find your way if you don’t have a purpose for your direction? From this birthed My Bucket List only three months ago. We also made one for our family as well. Those in italics have been done. I will continue to add as well as our purpose and lives are constantly […]
