I was struggling for a topic this week. This past month has put me to the test in a number of ways and I am drained. Even now I’m powering through to the weekend as I am very excited for Halloween. Working on keeping myself busy on things that bring me joy and to keepContinue reading “Keeping Busy”

For anyone who has seen The Mandalorian, you are familiar with the fact that they are a people who wear armor and live by a code of honor. So whileContinue reading “TWO HUNDREDTH POST!!!”
Secure Your Mask Before Helping Others
If you’ve been on a plane you’re familiar with the pre-flight spiel. Life vest under your seat, lights will illuminate the aisle directing you to the nearest emergency exit, and oxygen masks may drop from the ceiling. Without fail, during this one man show put on by the flight attendant, they will instruct you toContinue reading “Secure Your Mask Before Helping Others”
SWEATER WEATHER!!!
FALL! AUTUMN! Leaves are changing, sweaters are coming out of storage, and spooky scary skeleton season has surfaced! I had an amazing weekend.

Food For the Soul
Last Thursday I went to my first Post-Covid concert. Lindsey Stirling, a ballerina/violinist is one of my favorite musicians and as soon as I saw that she was coming to Michigan I knew I had to be there to see her live! I also knew it would be a good stress reliever and some fillingContinue reading “Food For the Soul”
A New Addition!
Nothing says BFFFEs (best friends for fucking EVER) quite like matching tattoos. Myself and my platonic soul-mate Amanda took the plunge Saturday and went to her ridiculously talented cousin and tattooist at Old Soul Tattoo Parlor out in Keego Harbor. Not only did she have a delicate touch but she was hella fast and IContinue reading “A New Addition!”
