What I Did Differently In 2019 and How It Worked
I’m parting with 2019 knowing that I lived it to full capacity. No regrets. No wish I would’ve’s. I showed up and did the damn thing. Let me tell ya, there were high expectations. I love numerology and nineteen happens to be my lucky number. Ever since that day, ages ago, when my big sister, Maggie declared that her lucky number was eighteen. I knew 2019 would be special and I’d be special in it, but I never expected the wild and exciting year that has now passed. The best part is I, ME, am responsible for the change in my life. I took a new approach this year. I…
Adventures in La La Land: A Love Letter to Los Angeles

The Wandering Road of Words | Searching For Your Story
I feel like I’m always waiting; waiting for the right story, waiting for the right moment, waiting for life to come and swoop me up by the coattails and not put me down until I’ve reached my dreams. But here’s the truth: waiting gets you nowhere. The story, the moment, life, it’s all happening right in front of you. You just have to open your eyes and stop searching for your story.
