So yesterday I was driving home and I had so many thoughts running through my head. My main one being along the lines of how I feel time’s end pressing down on me and how I deal with it by simultaneously running from it and feeling like I’m not doing enough. How I’ve been waiting...

New Mercies
It’s the New Year. A time for new beginnings. A time for life-course-correction. A brand new start. For many, the new year is a time to reevaluate who we are, where we are, and set course for the future. We work to make changes, often bettering ourselves in some way. We envision what we want...

I Have a Dream.

Letting Go of July.
I don't know about you, but July was the craziest month I have had so far this year. It felt like it was one thing after another with barely any time to breathe between events. When I did have time to collect myself, I was so mentally exhausted that I had nothing to contribute. So... Continue Reading →

When Grief Comes to Call.
Everyone knows that life is often too short. It seems like there's never enough time to spend with the people we love before they're gone from our lives.
