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 […]
Prose
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.
Striped and Naked
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 […]
Photo Essay: Dinner with Rob
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 […]
Spirit Airlines + All About Austin, Texas Part 1
That title might be a bit of stretch as our time spent in Austin was short but so very sweet. There’s still plenty of virgin-to-us Austin soil to explore next time we are there. It was a bit of spontaneous trip for Bryan and I, not that we left hours within booking the tickets, but more […]
Steller Stories + Bloodroot
I am completely enamored with the app Steller. I first started using it last summer, however, I’ve only used it a handful of times. I can’t explain why I love something so much but don’t spend very much time with it. Maybe it’s because I feel like such a new face there, I don’t have […]
Off the Beaten Path: A Feminist Cafe
Veganism has transformed my life in endless ways beyond the eschewing of animal exploitation. Although there is no guarantee veganism will cure someone of their selfish and exploitative ways, as often proven in the Animal Rights community that is rife with racism and sexism, for many of us, it’s only the rebirth of our compassionate, more awake […]
Out of Sync Appetite
My favorite mental wealth professional used to marvel at my deep understanding of complicated relationship issues and the workings (and failings) of human behavior on a logical level but he was always quick to follow it up with “but you just fall apart when it comes to applying it emotionally.” We spent most of our […]
Almost 39
Even though I reject most of what society tells me to do and be as a woman – I’m not polite when it’s demanded of me and unwarranted, I don’t often shave or wear a bra, make-up is reserved more for special occasions rather than a daily occurrence – even still, physically aging is a strange thing that always […]
Forever Escaping Baltimore
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 […]
What’s Up Wednesday, My First Periscope
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 […]
