Christmas is my favorite holiday. I adore the decorating, the preparations, the gift-wrapping, and the chance to see so many of my friends and family. The world is wrapped in white and lights and joy - what's not to love? This was my first Christmas in my apartment in Buena Vista and the first time … Continue reading Reflecting on December – 2018
I write letters to people. You might even consider letters to be one of my calling cards (ha.) I write letters to share good news with friends. I write letters to tell people I miss them. I write letters to tell people goodbye. I write letters with far-flung postage marks that try to explain the … Continue reading Dear 2018. This is My Letter to You.
November is my second favorite month of the entire year (closely following December!) It's filled with shorter days and longer nights, both perfect for cozy evenings at home with a good book and a hot cup of coffee. It's also when I start to reflect on the past year's goals, accomplishments, dreams, and lessons. In … Continue reading Reflecting on November – 2018
I love fall - it's definitely my favorite season. Spiced cider, crisp air, and fires in the hearths. Many of my loved ones have birthdays in the autumn, Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays, and I enjoy the shorter days that bring people closer together. October was a quiet month. One of the highlights … Continue reading Reflecting on October – 2018
If anything, these blog posts can serve as an external memory of all the amazing experiences I've had over the past month. I read a quote quite a few weeks ago that explained, "We can either be living life or writing about it." So in an effort to live in the moment, rather than trying to … Continue reading Reflecting on September – 2018
When I moved to Colorado, no one told me I'd be moving to a town straight out of a Hallmark movie. As it turns out, Buena Vista continues to surprise me with its quirky traditions. Take for example Gold Rush Days, held in Buena Vista during the second weekend of August. What starts out as … Continue reading Reflecting on August – 2018
Honestly, I'm still not sure what the point of this blog is going to be quite yet. Travel posts? Simple general life updates? Photos of visits with friends? Surely there's enough room out there for a generically inspirational personal blog. July seemed to have flown by faster than all the other months in 2018. It's … Continue reading Reflecting on July – 2018
This year marks the first summer since 2011 I haven't lived and worked at a camp/ranch. While it was challenging to realize this a few weeks ago, I've come to love spending the summer at a more leisurely pace. Mornings spent writing at the local coffee shops, late nights with friends, and a variety of … Continue reading Reflecting on June – 2018
This May marks a year since I graduated from Slippery Rock, moved West, and started life in Colorado. And what a year it's been! I've met the best people, had the greatest adventures, and experienced more blessings than I ever could have imagined. It just goes to show that the plans the Lord has for … Continue reading Reflecting on May – 2018
This past month has been filled with more transitions than I ever could have imagined. It's been stretching my faith in incredible ways, and I'm so thankful for my community of friends and mentors that have been supporting me throughout these past few weeks. At the beginning of the month, my wonderful mom drove across … Continue reading Reflecting on April – 2018
