Your job, school, friendships, relationships, or even yourself. And I don't mean this to say that you shouldn't let anyone or anything in. I mean this to say … Continue reading Boundaries
I have to be honest here. I've been staring at my keyboard for a few hours now. I'm not sure which words I want to say first. If you come here from Facebook, then you're probably friends with at least one other member of my family. If that's the case, then you're probably aware of … Continue reading The Truth about Grief

I'll probably take some time to tell you stories later (like how I climbed a waterfall or why you should never put inflatable climbing things and trampolines on the ocean or even what it is like to be the only thing making light … Continue reading Packing for a Cruise (Or any Vacation)
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because it's a time I get to spend with family. I don't know about you but my family is important to me. I love being able to spend time with them and grow closer to them. Holiday season to me is always a time of being together with … Continue reading The Importance of Family
