    Reminder to Believe in Myself

    September 25, 2020 /

    Today marks five years exactly since I got on a plane and moved to Hawaii. I've talked about that experience many times on this blog, but today's anniversary hit different. Today's anniversary was a perfectly timed message from the universe. Today reminded me that I'm amazing and I can accomplish impossible things. And I really needed that.

    “Where do you see yourself in 5 years?” – Why I HATE This Question

    September 16, 2020 /

    Like many people, I currently find myself unemployed and that means it's interview time, again. And with the way the last few years have been, it feels like this has been the season of interviews in my life. From being laid off with only a year left on Oahu, to trying to settle back into life in California, and now COVID, I should be a pro when it comes to interviews and job hunting. In many ways I guess I kind of am. Not to say I'm good at interviews, but very rarely am I surprised by a question or the flow of an interview. I'm so used to hearing…

    Baby Steps To Plant-Based Eating

    September 12, 2020 /

    I haven't bought meat in over a month, sort of. Over the past few months my husband and I have really been on an eco-kick sustainable living journey of sorts. As you know, we started backyard composting and gardening. My recycling habits have really been put in check and we started looking at our day to day consumption and how we could make better choices. Little by little we've been looking at the things we use, how we use them, what their impact is and how we could make better choices. We started having conversations about how products are made, where products come from, the insane amount of plastic we…

    Plans for a Healthier September

    September 7, 2020 /

    My body aches. I get headaches and stomach aches all the time. My anxiety is back at full force and my emotions are all over the place. My clothes are fitting tight again and my muscle mass is disappearing. I'm just one big mess again. So this month I've decided to get back on track and I'm listing my goals here to keep me in check and hold me accountable.

First Christmas without my Tickle 🎄 Halloween w First Christmas without my Tickle 🎄 Halloween was her holiday but Christmas just isn't the same without her. I wasn't always a big fan of Christmas, but she always got me through it. And when I finally began to embrace the holiday she was always at the center of it. I miss her cuddles, kisses and wiggle butt even more this time of year.
