The Intentional Pursuit of Big Dreams
This fall, my husband and I decided to make good on a long-deferred Some Day. Some Day, we will take our son to UCLA for a fall football weekend. My alma mater. Games were an activity I admittedly did not partake in as much as I could have while I was there. However, to me,... Continue Reading →
Some days, the noise outside gets loud. The pressure feels constant. Or maybe it’s the uncertainty. The bustle is non-stop.

Fun fact: I am pretty much always looking forward to fall. I try to live in the present moment and enjoy the blessings of each day. And, at the same time, I kind of can’t wait for fall. Yes. It’s March. Even now. This is something my family likes to tease me about. However,... Continue Reading →
I heard the shoulds… I paused… And I chose me. The other weekend, I was scheduled to attend a creative retreat.
