The Trap of Indecision
A girl with two countries. What do we do when we’re at a crossroads? Sometimes in life we’re afraid to confront that which demands a decision. #thanksgiving

Living Intentionally
I feel like I should be writing this from an antique plush velvet lounge couch with a mink shawl draped luxuriously over my shoulders and a long cigarette holder from the 1920’s effortlessly dangling between my fingers, because people…I feel so stinkin’ cultured after this weekend.

Mercy. And no I’m not goin all Uncle Jesse on you. 🙂 And I’m not referring to various hospitals around the country, either. I’m talking about the Year of Mercy. It doesn’t matter if you’re Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, a “none,” or someone just searching for hope and goodness in the world…I think we can all […]

Two Teens, Two Realities
Ahh, Facebook, you double-edged sword, you. When you’re in your twenties, there comes a time when you log onto “The Book” and it’s like, overnight, every single one of your friends has gotten engaged. Scroll through your newsfeed, and it’s engagement photo after engagement photo, or better yet….babies. Well, needless to say, it’s happening. And I’m over […]
