Woodinville, WA
Mad Hatter New Years Tea Party in a dome. I’m late, I’m late, for a very important date, my own birthday party. Youtube or TikTok videos as the White Rabbit when I have time… Thank you to all my friends that spent it with me, thank you Jon for finding such an awesome place to…

Easton, WA
The birthday bash that set the standard. Igloo cuddle puddle included. The lodge was also amazing. It was on land with a private river bank. It was about an hour thirty away from Seattle, or SEA-TAC. It’s right by Snoqualmie Pass but we did not make it out onto the slopes. This cabin had so…

NOLA: New Orleans
I was uninvited to a destination wedding after traveling there across country. I respected the brides wishes after crying my eyes out and got some coffee and did some yoga in the French Quarter. I was convinced not to wear my bridesmaid dress for the day.

Pocket Advocate Ep. 2
Who gets excited about dresses with pockets? What about leggings with side pockets? Who has found skinny jeans with deep pockets? I’ve started a boycott against clothes without pockets, decent real pockets. Who’s with me? Why do guys get to have pockets but we don’t? Is it the fashion industry trying to make me have…

Fishing for Normal
This week I felt like shit. Migraines, Insomnia, mentally and emotionally out of wack. Going to work, cleaning the house, getting dressed or out of bed all impossible tasks. Eating my feelings, stress relief online shopping, and mindless scrolling through social media are helping me get through the days with video games and binge watching…

Happiness & Freedom Ruined My Life
2020 changed my life forever. It started out with a girl-pact to be #single2020. Meeting new people, having fun, traveling, alone and unafraid, full of distractions to occupy my time and entertain me. Of course I find love when I’m not looking. I found love where it wasn’t supposed to be, right in front of…

Be Kind to Yourself
I am my own worst critic. I am so hard on myself. I wouldn’t want to be my own friend based off of how I treat myself. I almost ignore everything that’s awesome about me, but focus and nit-pick, analyze and critique everything I do and say. I judge and hate myself for mistakes. Something…

Being White in the Philippines -or- To Those Tanning Their Iridescent Skin
I recently deployed to the Philippines and had some pretty profound experiences. I’d like to consider myself specially qualified to give commentary based on my post college time working at a tanning salon. I actually learned quite a bit about tanning beds, the difference between UVA and UVB, the importance of using lotion if you…

Honest to a Fault
I’ve always been an honest person, but there’s one story from my youth that really highlights and exemplifies the immediate nature of my honesty. From ten years old through some of high school I played fastpitch softball. First it was just the community center recreation teams and then it was a travel team that was…

I’m Holding Him Back
Crazy Dangerous Jon has been offered twice now to be on a hot shot wild firefighting team in Oregon. And he’s not accepting the much needed sense of community and self-worth and team contribution because it would mean being away from me. But when he explains that being in the woods, carrying heavy shit, being…

I’m eating my feelings: 7lbs in 31 days
I’ve gained 7lbs in my first 31 days on deployment. I am eating my feelings and searching for dopamine with sugar. It’s not muscle. The only scale on our base is outside in the breezeway in the middle of the camp. Tonight, I stepped on it before I was going to go get two cookies…

Little Victories
As I’m starting my yoga journey, there’s so much pride in learning and when you finally get a pose or something you’ve been aspiring to achieve. I will live in the present and joy of these moments and so glad I can capture some to share. My photography journey is also developing, pun intended, I…
