This past month was a good one, in which we enjoyed the last few weeks of fall weather and were officially introduced to winter.

I have a whole fat list of topics to do blog posts on, but none of them are sparking joy at the moment, as I've recently been very into a certain writing project, and it's all I really want to work on. However, I still wanted to do a blog post, so I looked up … Continue reading The Writer’s Tag →

We Need More Lovely Things

Every so often in life I stumble across something truly lovely, with a simple, unadulterated kind of beauty that is becoming so much less common in this world we are living in. I live for these things, these little pockets of loveliness. It's why I've always been so attracted to old things. Old literature, old … Continue reading We Need More Lovely Things →

Book Review: Someday, Someday, Maybe

Today I wanted to talk about another book I recently found while on a browse through the library. Being a huge fan of Gilmore Girls, when I caught sight of a cute looking novel with Lauren Graham listed as the author, I instantly wanted to read it. Now, I'm well aware of the fact that … Continue reading Book Review: Someday, Someday, Maybe →

Kimmy’s Baby Name List

Researching names and meanings and carefully helping someone come up with the perfect name for their baby would be the greatest thing. Thankfully, I have an amazing and adorable friend who is willing to help me live out my … Continue reading Kimmy’s Baby Name List →

Book Review- Annelies by David R Gillham

Recently I did something I've been meaning to do for a long time now. I ventured into the library that is literally down the street from the apartment I've lived in for the past year and two months and I finally got a library card. Sometimes making time for things like reading is a lot … Continue reading Book Review- Annelies by David R Gillham →

The Calm Collision

Will somebody explain to me why depression feels like sliding into a pair of sweatpants? A calm collision of comfort and despair, greeting me from the shadows. “It’s been a while” it seems to whisper, and I nod.It’s more a numbness than a sadness, the absence of emotion making a cave in my chest as … Continue reading The Calm Collision →

Will somebody explain to me why depression feels like sliding into a pair of sweatpants? A calm collision of comfort and despair, greeting me from the shadows. “It’s been a while” it seems to whisper, and I nod. It’s more a numbness than a sadness, the absence of emotion making a cave in my chest as I sink. Waves of darkness are curving around my body like an old but familiar lover... one you’ve come back to again and again even when you knew it wasn’t right. Mostly I just want to feel nothing, in a body that is aching from feeling too much. Photo cred goes to my hubby. Side note: I’m okay I promise. Just trying to do the creative expression thing.
It is a hard thing to write a poem. To take an emotion bigger than an ocean and make it fit inside a tiny bundle of words. Poetry is subtlety. Poetry is grace. Poetry is having a vast vocabulary in your arsenal and knowing when not to use it. Poetry is magic in its most elusive form.
That moment when you realize you have no pictures of yourself that you actually like...#selfiegamenotstrong On the real though, if anyone has any suggestions for a good local photographer please let me know! Also if you’re looking for a good rainy day read I would LOVE it if you clicked the link in my bio! Happy Sunday 💕
This cool brother of mine left the MTC for Canada today. I miss him a lot but I’m so proud of him and the hearts he will change ❤️🇨🇦
