The Intentional Pursuit of Big Dreams
I heard the shoulds… I paused… And I chose me. The other weekend, I was scheduled to attend a creative retreat. My husband was set to run a half marathon two hours away, with my son in tow for the weekend. As tends to happen in situations like this, our respective schedules filled up with... Continue Reading →
I have a confession… I love to talk about Some Days. And, I love to brainstorm, collaborate, co-create and dream together.

I’ve been thinking… A lot. About the world and the state it’s in. Asking myself - How do we make change? Our systems and structures are so flawed (and all built atop one another – broken system upon broken system, an unstable foundation that can feel beyond repair). Our conditioning. Our practices.

At the beginning of the year, I came back from two weeks away unplugged. Upon return, people asked how my time was. (As they are wont to do.) I am not... Continue Reading →
“Oh no no noYou just gotta let that old story go”- Trevor Hall As an English major, I have always had a love for stories. They can be a place to dream, adventure, inspire.

Twenty years ago, I kissed a handsome stranger I saw across the room at a holiday party and then shared an elevator with. The four years that followed were not your typical love story. In fact, it would be almost that long before I truly understood I was living my own love story at all.... Continue Reading →
I love this time of year. For many reasons. One big part of this is that it is a time of transition. Transition into the cozy months (my favorite). Pulling close what is most dear to me in a snuggly hibernation. Back to school energy. That feeling that a new version of myself might be... Continue Reading →
