Amy Poehler’s podcast Good Hang makes me ridiculously happy. Go listen to every single episode. I’ll wait. In every episode, she talks about the Enneagram; there is always another reference to types and wings and integration paths. So I dropped $20 bucks and took the “official” test, and honestly, everything now makes sense. Type 8: […]
Imposter syndrome won this past weekend. I think I spent most of Sunday staring at a wall, contemplating all of my failures. What a great time. Highly recommend spending your day like this. I don’t typically sit around and feel sorry for myself, but these past two years have been absolutely brutal. It caught up […]
For those late to the party (where the heck have you been) here is part 1. With the pee still drying on my leg, Parker and I made our way to the Lowe’s in Big Rapids to pick up flowers, which I killed within the week, and any supplies needed to break a dog out […]
While our country was reverting back to the 1950s before women were considered equal to their male counterparts…I was on a road trip with 8 dogs and a very patient husband. In an effort to give you a smile, I bring you the shitshow that is my life (and 100% my fault). This is the […]
I’ve been quiet lately, laugh it up people that know me. I’ve been grieving privately over the loss of a family member and I have been struggling. The funny thing about grief is it comes in waves, you think you’re fine and then boom – knocked on your ass. I also got in my head […]
Is there a better title for a blog? I might get it as a tattoo, it’s kind of my life motto. I love books, I’ve had a love affair with them as far back as I can remember. I used to go into my parent’s bedroom and pull Clive Cussler, Robert Ludlum, W.E.B. Griffin books […]
I get such a f**king kick out of the holidays, it is nauseating. I don’t know when this love of Christmas took over my life, as a little kid my brother and I would spend hours looking through the JCPenny catalog marking pages and picking out toys that we just had to have. Does anyone […]
The holiday season is upon us and it comes with all the fun and stress. I’m not an expert on navigating the holidays, but I’ve survived so far and I’m pretty good at managing chaos, so here are my tips for surviving the holidays. Just as a reminder, always put your mental health first, you […]
I turned 40 last week, and no this is not some blog manifesto…so just calm down. I’m not sure when getting older became such an awful thing, I fricken love it. For one, it means I have racked up loads of life experience and have some serious perspective on what’s important in life. Hell, I […]
I just got back from a relaxing vacation with my girlfriends, we spent our days laying on the beach, sipping cocktails and reading. Instead of fully enjoying my vacation, I allowed negative thoughts and self-doubt to creep in the entire time. These are thoughts I am uncomfortable sharing, because it leaves me vulnerable (and I […]
