I love journaling. It’s one of those things that can really help me sort out my thoughts, reduce my anxiety and put me in a better headspace. It’s not for everyone, so the first thing I’ll say here is try to figure out what works for you. However, if you are feeling really called to journaling but don’t know where to start, then this post is for you. Here are some general tips to get you started.
Read MoreWe are not quite in post-quarantine life yet. We are just barely even at the point of transition. And yet, it feels like there’s something looming around the corner. I felt a bit of a shift near the end of last week, and honestly, instead of feeling relieved that quarantine may be over soon, I’ve felt more anxious and even a bit sad.
Read MoreI didn’t really want to write about the corona virus. To be honest, I didn’t take it very seriously a couple weeks ago, and then it blew up and now we are all staying home trying to flatten the curve. It is such a change in our realities that it’s hard to even grasp. There’s so much I could say about it, but I don’t think it is necessary.

It’s grown on me to the point that I now turn my nose up in a different way. I want to smell allll the lavender allll the time. There are so many ways to use lavender, and I believe it is a great starter herb if you are looking to make your own little apothecary or want to dabble in herbs more.
Read MoreNo one has come before you in your own life. You are the first person to live the life you live. The first person to have the story you have. The first person to experience your experiences. So we are all by default… trailblazers. You can create the life you want. And even though a circumstance can mirror another person’s experience, it will never be exactly the same.
Read MoreI can’t even count the number of times I have heard people express how overwhelmed they get about social media. Frustrated and worn down by the pressure to fit the mold. Tired of being inundated with images of “should bes” and “have tos”. Feeling that being "positive" means slapping a smile on your face and throwing an inspirational quote on your feed. If you can relate to any of this then my dear, this post is for you...
