As the longest night of the year wraps the world in a velvet quiet, the Winter Solstice invites us to pause, reflect, and dream ahead. It’s a liminal moment, a cosmic hush between the ending and new beginning to come. What better way to honor it then with a spiritual reset to help blend the…

Color Crush Series….Bold Red
Red doesn’t enter a room quietly. It shouts “Hello” the second it crosses the threshold. It’s the lipstick a woman swipes when she needs encouragement. It’s the velvet ribbon that makes messy wrapping look chic and curated. It’s the wine stain you secretly call art on your favorite white rug. Bold red is all about…
My Messy Love Affair with Time
If punctuality were a personality trait, I’d be…well, I wouldn’t have it. I’m the girl who texts “On my way” while still blow drying my hair. I’m the coworker who joins 5 minutes late but always with the best intentions and all the answers. Sure, I’m a mess but my lateness is wrapped up in…

Showing up as yourself in a room designed for someone else is a reality most people don’t sign up for. Although you usually end up leaving that room a little sharper and smarter, you also leave far more guarded. I work in the legal world as a legal researcher in intellectual property. I focus on…

Romancing your life is lighting a candle before you answer emails. It’s narrating your walk to get the mail like you’re in a rom-com…
One Of My New Love Languages—Feedback
When most people think of love languages they think of acts of service or physical touch. Before this blog I would have said quality time. Giving me undivided attention with conversation and some board games or a movie after cooking dinner together. Although I still want all that, I’ve found a new appreciation for a…
Confessions of a Creative Perfectionist
A big part of why I walked away from creating was me. Simply put it was just me. I couldn’t get out of my own way. I couldn’t stop over thinking everything I did. A part of finding some success came pride but also doubt. Instead of just creating and playing with new ideas, everything…
