Callouses
I recently took up guitar. And when I say recently, I mean, I bought a nice guitar about two years ago, learned how to play four Taylor Swift songs, and then it found its resting place at the back of my closet ever since. 😛 But just this past week, I took it out…

Touchdown Dance
I love Sundays. Yes, brunch is great. Sleeping in – that’s good too. Going to church – always a highlight. But if I’m being 100% honest: the real reason why I love Sundays so much: One word: FOOTBALL I love watching the NFL. And one of my favorite parts of the game, is the touchdown…

The Power of Yes
Yes. A small word with a big impact. One syllable that can lead to incredible adventures, new relationships, and abundant life. Recovery has been a journey of rediscovering me, and becoming who I’d always been. You see, during my anorexia, I had forgotten who I was. I had become a hollow shell of myself: without…

“Likes” & Worth
Essena O’Neil. If that name doesn’t ring a bell, don’t worry. I didn’t know who the blazes this girl was either. BUT: For the past several days, her name and her story have been absolutely exploding all over my social media feeds: “Social Media Star Quits Instagram, Revealing it’s a Sham.” “‘Dream Life’ Not…

The Secret Garden
As you may know, I’m an actor. I’ve been working since I was five. And hands down, my favorite role was Mary Lennox in The Secret Garden. Maybe it was because I got to throw ridiculous temper tantrums on stage, or perhaps it was because the costumes were so beautiful, or the music, but it…

Tough Question
You wanna know why I like watching movies? Or TV, or theater, or shoot, even a good book? It’s because I like to imagine myself as the main character. Maybe that’s the actor in me. Or perhaps I’m nauseatingly narcissistic. But it’s something that I’ve just always done. Case in point: reading the Harry Potter…

Healing Broken Relationships
What is it about moms that they just speak a language that only their children can understand? Whether it be a look, a touch, a smile, or even just the way she breathes, moms have a special way of communicating love that transcends language, time, space, and age. So this past weekend my mom, AKA…

Broken & Free
Hey guys! I had the privilege of guest blogging for one of my absolute favorite blogs, Beauty In Christ, this past weekend. When Emily approached me to guest blog on her site, I was absolutely honored. I have so loved getting to know this beautiful warrior through her blog posts and I honestly feel like I know her heart.…

Weight Restored Does Not Mean Fat
Why is it that we fear the unknown? I don’t know about you, but whenever there’s a big event or activity or milestone in the future, I always prepare for the worst. It’s a bad habit I guess. For example. Whenever I go to a party or something, in my mind, I’m always like, “what…

Dear Future Husband
No, this isn’t a commentary on Meghan Trainor’s song. Although, albeit catchy as hell, if you actually read the lyrics, you’ll find that it’s all about making “her man” buy her things and treat her like royalty, and basically bow down to her. Take me on a date. I deserve it, babe. And don’t forget the…
