There Can Even Be Growth in Sourdough
My husband often says I often put myself in these situations that I dread, but it’s not that I dread them, it’s that what initially sounded like an awesome idea quickly turns to an anxiety fueled countdown to the event. So I guess I can see why he may be a little confused, but I […]
That One Time I Caught a Bird
We live our entire lives among some of nature’s most beautiful and skilled creatures and they nearly fade entirely from our awareness. Birds, for example. At least in this part of the world, you can’t really go a minute outside without a sighting, they are as commonplace as grass and as such, we often treat […]
“Your Blog is Wrong”
Scrolling my Facebook feed, a post caught my eye from an Animal Rights Activist I really admire. In the midst of political chaos and discontentment, it was a nice change of topic – food photos! Of course I stopped to read the post that was somewhat innocently venting about how annoying it is when food […]
Resurrection
Maybe it’s because it’s a sunny 50 degree day in January that has me feeling like Spring has come to clear out the winter funk. Or maybe it’s because I accidentally opened my blog on my phone this morning and started reading the last few posts that made me realize I really do enjoy sitting […]
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 […]
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 […]
