11 11, make a wish

It’s been too long since I last signed in to touch base with you. Over the course of the last few months (or 2024 entirely, if I’m being honest) I’ve been struggling with the fact that as a writer who has always found strength in my words, I’ve been scared of them more than ever.

If I write them down and hit publish, they become real. They leave my overactive and often times catastrophizing mind. They express truths about my life that I am simultaneously embarrassed and ashamed of, sad for, angry at, and wishing were different.

The types of trips and traveling I’ve always dreamed of

Over the course of the last few weeks, I’ve been looking back on 2024 with a sense of gratitude and gratefulness. I think for the majority of the year, I’ve been guilty of not speaking kindly to and of myself. I’ve come to understand that it can be easy to get stuck in negative headspaces. If you’re feeling or have felt that recently, I am here to remind you how beautiful you are and how great you’re doing. Even if you don’t see that right now.

As we head into to the autumn and ultimately my birthday in October, I am now in the head space where I want to start thinking about warmer climates and the types of experiences I can find through travel. In hopes of manifesting the types of trips and travel I have always wanted, I thought it would be beautiful to write them into existence together with you.

Okay so let’s talk about microdosing and if it’s right for you

I’ll be honest, I have always loved writing about things that are slightly controversial because I like to inspire reactions and thought provoking conversations. Add into the mix that in 2024 I have embraced a new life around sobriety which adds a layer of complexity to this subject for me, and I’m left with a topic I’d love to chat about more a little bit.

Be right back, I’m upgrading everything in my life

On a hot summer’s day I am looking forward to everything I am excited for this year. I am grateful for the lessons the first half of 2024 has offered, and for the reminder that I have earned the upgrades in life that I have at times denied myself. I’m making quite the grandiose statement, but if I’m being honest, as of late I think it’s important to acknowledge how far I have come in life and of the things I deserve.

So let’s talk about some of the upgrades I’ve been working on and towards in hopes that it helps to remind you that you deserve to do things for yourself and with yourself more as well.
