Bus Stop Blues
It was a cold morning. Not the frozen winter kind of cold. But the turn of the season, end of October cold. She was slouched down with her back against the wall and her head in her knees crying. Many mornings were spent like this back then, but no one really knew. She was wearing… Continue reading

The Hairbrush
It’s been a long while since I shared or wrote anything. I keep meaning to write- but I haven’t felt inspired. I have distracted myself with Netflix and Hulu because I really didn’t want to face myself again. But here I am – back for today. I decided to go through some of my drafts… Continue reading

My “WHY” in China
It’s hard for me to put into words all the things I have experienced these last 4 months. To be honest, moving here has probably been the most challenging thing I’ve done in a long time. It’s not easy, and I do recall people telling me that it wouldn’t be easy. But I did it… Continue reading

It makes sense, right? I mean think about your group of friends, the people you spend the most time… Continue reading

Get going, Keep growing
Hey guys, guess what? We made it through the first month of 2018, can you believe it? How are you doing on those New Year Resolutions so far? How many of you have already broken your resolutions? Don’t feel bad, it’s absurd to think that on January 1st we are going to be totally different… Continue reading

“You are my witnesses”…
Isaiah 43:10 You may recognize this verse from the Old Testament, but you can also find this verse on the of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Why? Let’s start with a mini vocabulary lesson and dig into the word “witness”: Noun: A person who who sees an event, typically a crime or accident take… Continue reading
About Me
Just your normal millennial trying to make it in this world. I love going to new cities, eating new foods and meeting new people- but I usually prefer the company of my cats. I’m inviting you to come laugh, cry, travel and eat with me on the crazy ride we call adulthood.
