Lately I’ve been journaling more. On my lunch break, while I wait for a friend to show up, or when I can’t sleep, I take some time to write about whatever is on my mind. Sometimes it’s well organized and thought out. Sometimes it’s barely legible and certainly not grammatically correct. But it’s always satisfying… Read More Things I’ve Learned in my 20’s
As Sincerely Kaytee approaches its first birthday (they grow up so fast) I went back to one of the first posts I wrote about why I write.

Since January I have experienced two trips to the ER for family emergencies, rejection in… Read More On Becoming a Better Person
When you stop and realize about all the aspects in life you’re required to remember on a regular basis, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Bills, appointments, events, groceries, and even personal time can become a mental overload if not handled properly. Until the last year or so, I’d adapted to a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants type of organization.… Read More How To Stay Organized in a Life of Chaos
In a perfect world, I would stay home, write all day long, never get creativity blocks, and still make money doing so.

All day, every time I’ve scrolled through Facebook or Instagram, my news feed has been flooded by National Siblings Day posts.

Lately I’ve been making changes. Changes to my hair, my eating habits, and potentially my way of living (cross your fingers for me).
