Whether good or less than ideal, haphazard or perfectly refined, I have so many words inside of me that need to be released. I hope you enjoy taking them in as much as I enjoy letting them go.

  Long time, no blog! There are a million reasons why blogging had temporarily ceased, some are valid, some are excuses, and there’s also something new in the works which I’m really excited about that I can hopefully reveal next month. But, I’m right here, right now, and wanted to share this long overdue thank […]

I managed to go vegan relatively overnight, overhauling everything that I knew, all of my habits, what I bought, and the way that I ate, but still, here I was almost two years later still talking about how much I want to do the No ‘Poo method unable to take the plunge. It never felt […]

I work from home so my days aren’t typically spent talking with humans but my Rowdy Boys, as I like to call them. Robbie and Atticus, our rescue pups. They follow me from room to room and settle in right next to me wherever I go. I have a standing desk set up now for […]

Baltimore. The city I’ve called home for the last 15 years, the same amount of time I’ve been planning my escape from her city lines. Arriving here the summer before my emotionally uncomfortable high school journey, I’ve made two previous attempts at leaving this city behind for good. Both were with less than ideal people […]

Welcome to my first anxiety-fueled Periscope! I deliberately did this as early as I could on a Wednesday, hoping that nobody would join in as I broadcast live, alas, a few people did but I was really appreciative of the interaction even though I was rendered incapable of responding properly. I was only going to […]
