Lately I've been seeing friends sharing on social media* that they are feeling frustrated with how little they have accomplished in their lives or are struggling to build the life they want. This is probably because I turned 30 just a couple months ago. We're all turning 30 and taking a bit look around and … Continue reading Actual Living, Breathing Bachelors

“Someone is wrong and it could be me.”
This time of year is perfect for intentional thinking, pausing, and assessing. Self-awareness has been one of the best gifts life experience (and YouthWorks job training) has given me. It is immensely valuable to be able to sit down, look inside myself and my life, name what I’m crazy about and what is driving me … Continue reading “Someone is wrong and it could be me.”
Sometimes you can get what you want
When I was young, maybe in middle school, I remember telling my mom that I had prayed to God to give me patience. She said, "You don't want to do that." I asked, "Why not?" She said, "Because then God is going to give you a lot of opportunities to grow your patience." Last week … Continue reading Sometimes you can get what you want
F Words
It could be because I finished the fifth season of Grace and Frankie within the past 24 hours, or it could be the result of a series of revelations and realizations happening over the past 2 months. Whatever the reason, I find myself adopting a very “eff it” attitude. (I’m not effing it so much … Continue reading F Words
Nonstop
I've been listening to the Hamilton soundtrack (again) this week. The lines that have always stuck out to me are in the song Nonstop. Do you remember it? How do you write like you're running out of time? Write day and night like you're running out of time? Every day you fight like you're running … Continue reading Nonstop
What Dreams Are Made Of
This morning I listened to a sermon on my favorite passage in the whole bible, Ephesians 3:14-21. It’s so good, so here it comes. For this reason I bow my knees before my Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of His glory He may … Continue reading What Dreams Are Made Of
Remember
Don’t you just love social media? I love it. I love videos of dogs and cats doing funny things and I love getting able to read funny Tumblr highlights on Facebook (there’s a Facebook group… or two) without actually having to go into the black hole, time suck that is Tumblr. Most of all, I … Continue reading Remember
2018 – It’s gonna be great
It's nearly mid-January so I thought it was time I got around to my annual Resolutions post. First, a look back. In 2017, among other things, I... Found a puppy and accidentally fostered him for a whole year. Who wants him? Moved to a new house that I love and adore. Worked three very different … Continue reading 2018 – It’s gonna be great
Beautiful and Important
This past weekend I went to a job training for a job that is highly relational. Part of the job training was talking in small groups about ourselves - who we are and how we operate. We made Venn diagrams (or word webs in my case because I love a good word web) about ourselves. … Continue reading Beautiful and Important
2017 Goals
This morning I knocked over my mop bucket, spilling dirty water all over the living room. Then I realized that my stove isn't broken like I thought it was for the past week, but that the gas line just wasn't opened all the way. New year, same me. But also, new year, new goals! Well, … Continue reading 2017 Goals
