Sisters not Besties

Today we are gonna take a break from my serious posts and give you a chance to learn a bit about me for a change. Let's go back to a time I wasn't social at all. I was that shy, and literal nerdy girl who would sit in the corner and read. I'm not sure what happened to turn me into the sarcastic a little bit less shy girl who is still pretty much a nerd. Ya, I'm still that girl who is obsessed with the bookstore and the smell of books and rain. (If you didn’t know already I'm super weird and wear my weirdness proudly) That’s beside the point. I actually do know what happened. My sisters happened.

Now I'm not talking by blood here, because I love those two munchkins, but they aren't the influences that made me who I am today. Those were what outsiders would call my best friends. If you have known me for a while however, you would know it's hard for me to get to the point where I would do anything and say anything with and not care what anybody thought. Those people aren't friends to me. They’re like my family.

If I didn’t have these wonderful people I would still be avoiding every single social event, and live like a mole child with 80’s makeup. Now today that gives me nightmares. Point is without one friend to keep me dreaming, one to keep my reality in check, one who brings encouragement and all to remind us that even through the darkest of paths we will always end up together again, I probably wouldn’t be writing this right now. I wouldn’t have all the dreams of traveling the world, and living in LA and London. We learn from each other daily. We laugh, cry, rant, yell, and discuss why life must be a pain when things just start to look bright again. I honestly wouldn’t know what I would do without them.

One day when I get married, and have a family of my own, my kids will have 5 aunts, who are all as crazy as I am. Lord help my future children, because no matter how amazing this family will be, we are insane. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Girls who are reading this and are about to spam me with text messages, get something to drink cause I’m proposing a toast… Here’s to all the laughter, tears, smiles, and rants. To our undying sisterhood. May we be together forever *clinks together invisible glasses because we are not in the same room*


Goodnight and good hour till Thursday. I really need to schedule time out for writing. It’s on my to do list. Goodnight Internet. Write you tomorrow.

Coming Up With Ideas

 I had a hard time coming up with this weeks topic. I just wasn’t coming up with any ideas. And then this morning I realized I had in fact already found a topic without knowing it. It can be a challenge at times to come up with new ideas for whatever you are working on. There are, however, some pointers you can use to help. 1) Don’t Force It  Sometimes our brain just needs a break. No matter what you do, when your brain is fried you are not going to be able to think of anything. So instead of forcing it into overdrive, walk away for a bit. Sometimes the best thing to restart your creativity is to revisit it later. 2) Take Time By Yourself  Don’t get me wrong, talking with others can help too, but sometimes being around other people and sounds are too distracting. Sitting out on the porch with some coffee or tea, doing some yoga, or even having a night of self-care alone, will not only be relaxing but can help get the thinking process going. 3) Keep A Notebo...

Queen of Procrastination

 So I may be a bit of a procrastinator. A bit?! Girl please, you rule the place! You again? Seriously? Ya and you better get used to it because I’m sticking with you forever. Ugh fine. Yes, I am the Queen of Procrastination. It’s not like I want to be that way, but I have kind of adopted it as…...oooooo Lilly Singh posted a YouTube video!! I should watch it!! Five Hours Later. It’s about time you showed up. You didn’t even get to the point yet and you run off. See what I mean. I’m like a dog when it sees a squirrel. It’s usually a five step process. 1. Avoid It Like The Plague       I know I have work to complete, but honestly I don’t want to waste this beautiful day on that, so I’m going to watch Netflix and look through my social media for an indefinite amount of time. Shouldn’t you start work?! Why would I do that? Well you might get stressed if you do it last minute. Oh please, that won’t happen. 2. Sit In Front of Work… Looking at Phone ...

God's Work

 Last night I was thinking about the past year, and how God has presented himself in my life. I can so clearly pinpoint moments where I knew God was there with me. Now I never had one of those huge, over the top awe-inspiring moments, that some people talk about. I’m not saying those moments haven’t happened for some people, and it’s good that they have had them. However, my realization moments have been small, but just as meaningful.  I remember once I was out shopping with one of my friends, and my phone started going ballistic. I started freaking out because I was supposed to text my dad our location after he got done grocery shopping at the store across the highway, but my phone was not working and my friend did not have hers. My friend told me to relax and it would be fine, after all, he was only just across the street. I couldn’t relax though, in fact, I got even more worried. My friend went into the dressing room and I was waiting outside, desperately trying to ge...
