Sometimes what you want and what you need are completely different. Other times, they are the exact same thing. This week is all about relaxation. Enjoying time with friends. Being on and in the water. Laughing until we can’t breathe. Taking time away from the responsibilities of being an adult. Turning off the work email …

tired of the hurts
I’m constantly worried with those that I care about (and sometimes even those that I don’t care about) if I’ve offended them or hurt them on some way. Did I say something wrong? Did I do something without realizing? Did I not take into account the feelings of others? Too often I think that it’s …
i stay quiet
There are moments in my life where I want to think that things are good. That I have people who care about me unconditionally. Who accept me for everything I am. But then something happens or something is said and it makes me question all of it. I overthink things. I know I do. As …
village
I remember when I first became a mom. During those first few months when sleep was hard to come by and my entire life was changing faster than I knew was possible. One of the things that close friends of the time told me was that "It takes a village." Well sure...young baby who can't …

maybe it’s time for goodbye
I've been on the fence about writing this post all day...partly because I know that if certain friends read it, they are going to know who I'm talking about even if I were to leave names out. But at the same time, I have found that if there is something that is on my mind …
through my eyes
Do you have anyone in your life that you look at and you see who they really are? Not just the physical side, but you see them? There is something special about seeing a friend for who they really are. My BFF is going through some hard times lately...feeling angry, sad, guilty, and unworthy. But …
