Originally posted 11/09/2020 This time last year, I was in Portugal with my mother celebrating my 36th rotation around the sun. I had no idea what year 36 would bring, but I was feeling pretty optimistic about the next 365 days. I had NO IDEA 36 would this meaningful for my growth and development. This year I allowed myself to stretch is so many ways. I loved and lost. Still recovering from that one and learning to be gentle with myself and give myself grace. I walked away from a somewhat stable job that paid me lots of money to explore a profession that aligns more who who I'm growing into. I gave up Introvert N the City so that...
Originally posted 11/3/2020 A few years ago I walked away from my position as a Social Media Manager at a not for profit organization. I had worked for them since 2011 and by 2018, it was time to move on. I spent the year traveling, freelancing, and trying to figure out my next move.

At the time, all my freelancing prospects dried up so I took it as a sign to go back to something safe and stable. That safety net carried me for an additional 2 years. I was so appreciative to have stable employment that I put...

Originally posted 8/24/2020 I preach all day about giving grace when grace is due. I forgot to include myself in that equation though. Last week I launched the #MindfulMoonDeck. I was so excited because it was a passion project of mine. I wanted to create something that would be out in the world, inspiring others to be their best. After posting a teaser photo of the deck, I was met with such an overwhelming response. It made me push my launch date from 8/24 to 8/14. The people wanted the deck, and I was going to give them the deck! I had so many expectations for the launch date. I was so hyped, I almost ordered another...
Originally posted 8/10/2020 A mirror isn't the only place you can find your reflection. I've done a lot of work when it comes to examining myself and my intentions. I pay close attention to how my spirit reacts to the people around me. As an introvert, I find myself seriously affected by people who are louder, more social, or full of energy. Whenever I'd find myself in the company of someone who was more "out there" than I was, I'd instantly get annoyed. My conclusion would always be that the person was "too much" or "too over-the-top" for me. As I gave it more thought, I realized there is absolutely nothing wrong with someone's ability to be louder, more social,...
