What did we do before email? Seriously, though. What was the world like before we could instantly communicate with people around the globe? Reflecting on that makes me feel very small. Anywho. In case you were unaware, I have an email address for the blog. (Also a twitter @Anarevealed and Instagram @beauty.beyond.bones.) But my emailContinue reading Stopping the Freight Train
I love rock climbing. If you didn’t know, I went to school out West, and enjoyed rock climbing a few times. Both in climbing gyms and in the outdoors. It’s practically a religion out there. But rock climbing is really a great sport. Not only is it a great workout physically, but also mentally –Continue reading CO State of Mind
This post is for my mom. Someone who, I can easily say, knows me the best in the world. I don’t know why exactly this was put on my heart today to share about this, but whatever — that hasn’t stopped me before… This past Thanksgiving, my mom and I put up the Christmas tree together while IContinue reading Dear Mom
Ash Wednesday is a weird day in New York. Because for really the first time during these blistery winter months, you actually look up and see people. Now, I know…that sounds bad. Like, what the heck? Who is this girl that she just goes around with her head in the clouds, not seeing people? ButContinue reading The Smudge
Lent. *sigh* This is a rather bittersweet time of year for me personally. Because even though it is leading up to Easter and is such a beautiful and intentional season of reflection, it also brings up a lot of pain for me. Because you see, Lent of sophomore year in high school, was when myContinue reading Redefining Lent
Puzzles. They’re the previous generation’s version of Angry Birds or Bejeweled. But I must confess: I absolutely love them. I rarely do them, because let’s be honest: every ounce of free time I have is devoted to BBB, but I do love a good puzzle. So I make the kids I nanny for do them with meContinue reading I Got This
I’m gonna just come right out with it: it’s been a rough couple of days. So I apologize for my absence this past Thursday. What was I doing? I was breaking someone’s heart. Please don’t read that in a “My-Milkshake-Brings-All-the-Boys-to-the-Yard” kind of a way. But rather, in a “I-just-had-to-hurt-someone-that-I-care-about-deeply-and-am-feeling-tremendously-guilty-and-full-of-sorrow-because-of-it” kind of a way. As you know, this year,Continue reading Love Never Fails
Control. In today’s culture, we’re all about it. We can control when we watch TV with DVR, we control how we come across on social media, we try to control our college or job trajectory by taking just the right classes or getting a particular degree. We try to control our diet and exercise —Continue reading Control
Kids are funny. Being the aunt of a beautiful 2 year old has been so much fun. Especially on vacation. We now do so many things that you just don’t do as an adult “kid”: we go sledding, play in the snow, have goofy dance parties, play pretend, and run around singing “Frozen” at the top ofContinue reading WHEN WORDS WOUND
I’ve got a confession to make: I’m on vacation right now. Yep, I escaped NYC and am in the mountains with my family out west. Our annual family ski trip. There’s something so majestic about being in the mountains. Especially in Utah. The sky is just crystal clear and bright blue. The air isContinue reading Mountain Top Feeling
