So I’ve been doing a gratitude challenge that several of my friends have sent me…and it’s actually been pretty enlightening. It’s a month long series of exercises where you write, think and reflect about positives in your life. I’ve also challenged myself to say two positives about every negative thought I’ve had. Some of them [...]

So, every year from Thanksgiving on, I focus on how much fun I’ve had that year, how sad I am to leave that year, and a very specific list of things I want to accomplish in the upcoming year.
This time last year, I had just predicted (accurately I might add) my company was going to [...]

This is completely not RA related.
Yep, a couple of weeks ago when I decided to decline 2 invitations to various beaches and decided that I would NOT be going to the annual party I go to for July 4th at a friends in Greenville, I was psyched.
3 glorious days with not a damn thing to [...]

I like my job. It’s nice to have a job where I don’t have to manage anyone, have measurable goals [...]

So, I know I’ve talked about how I wait with guys to mention RA until either it comes up naturally or I decide they’re worthy of knowing. But, until now, unless you’re dating me, I’m actually very open with my RA because why not, you know?
A couple years ago, the company I worked for [...]

Dear God,
I know that everytime lately I talk with you it is to ask for something. I apologize for our recent conversation in which I used the phrase “f-ing crazy.” I realize that the use of this word in the context of prayer is entirely inappropriate; in my defense, I was trying to emphasize- I [...]

Just majorly in transition right now and kinda freaking out. You see, I’ve been in Greenville for 11 years. I moved there in 1998 to go to college and just never left. I knew moving was going to rock my world but I didn’t imagine I would be this on edge. But I like my [...]

Saturday was a good day. No, scratch that. Saturday was an incredible day. Since I’m moving, my friend and I met up at lunchtime with cameras and spent the whole day taking pictures of the places around town that mean something to me, the places that I’m going to miss the most.
