I walked up to the storefront ahead of my group with a bit of excitement. The sign mentioned The Philippines, and it looked like a restaurant. At least that's what I thought. "Wait!", my companion held me back. "You do NOT want to go in there. You don't belong there, let's just keep going". I took a closer … Continue reading Travel Diaries: The Incident

Even … Continue reading Kindness Challenge Week 7: Grateful for Kindness
Too Much
Post baby, I had a plan. I had to get out of my PPD / PPA rut and focus a bit on myself. I took on a number of things to help connect to my hobbies or old parts of me. The next thing you know, my mind was always running: baby, Poshmark, baby, work, … Continue reading Too Much

Kindness Challenge Week 6: Kindness without Expectation
This week's challenge asks that you choose kindness without expecting anything in return. I have actually been doing this for a while. My father taught me this lesson at a very young age.

This week's challenge asked that we choose kindness in situations where we might otherwise have a different reaction.

Travel Diaries: Amsterdam
My initial top 5 list included Italy as my number 2 travel spot. Don't get me wrong. Italy is BEAUTIFUL. The land, the history, the landmarks, the food. It's amazing over there, and I would go over and over again. However, I thought I might have to bump it for Amsterdam! I never really had … Continue reading Travel Diaries: Amsterdam
