Vision Boards
This year instead of cutting out and gluing magazine pictures, I created my vision board on Pinterest. I’ve always wanted a hot tub but this is the first year it made it onto my vision board. A vision board is a collection of dreams, desires, and goals you’d like for the year. I think it’sContinue reading “Vision Boards”
Don’t Forget to have Fun
Don’t forget to have fun! Life can get so serious over night. Sometimes you gotta just let loose and take the adventure for what it is. Everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you’re climbing it. ― Andy Rooney With so much going on around the world,Continue reading “Don’t Forget to have Fun”
My Heart Goes Out to Ukraine
Today has been a weird day at our house. Not a bad day at all. It was peaceful and felt kinda orderly in our home. My heart goes out to the families sleeping in subways.

Walls
I’d love for everything to work out in my favor. The hard part is the challenges that come before the reward. The challenge isn’t always the tilling or busy work. It’s not always connecting and creating the best log line. The challenge that comes before the reward is often the same wall I keep runningContinue reading “Walls”
Poetry from Paintings
I’m at a part in my novel where my main character, Christian, walks into a room created by her mother that’s identical to a painting Christian’s currently working on. We see Christian’s connection to the painting earlier on the story, but I don’t explain too much about the painting. So right now I’m exploring differentContinue reading “Poetry from Paintings”

I was brought up in the Christian community. A big thing that we were taught growing up was to be humble. I think humility is great but it’s taught in a way that made me feel like being proud of myself was a sin. So today I was working through my internal blocks.
