I may not understand, but I stand. I am a white woman (yes, another white woman sharing her opinion). I have never been treated unfairly because of the color of my skin. I have never been wrongfully accused or yelled at because of the color of my skin. There are so many things I haven’tContinue reading “I Marched”

Body Image
Body image Where do I begin when writing about body image? I have had every image of my body in my head, from feeling fit and toned, a goddess among mortals to disgust, loathing and over-analyzing of every inch of pale skin, and pockets of fat. When I was in middle school, I was friendsContinue reading “Body Image”
Coaching with Jess
Why I chose to work with a life coach. Last week, I wrote about following your intuition and listening to your gut. I often write a lot about health and how important it is to keep your body healthy as well as your mind. Whenever I’m stressed or in the process of making a decisionContinue reading “Coaching with Jess”
Loving yourself. It’s more than face masks and scented candles.
We love a lot of things, a lot of people. But do we love ourselves? We love, deeply and fiercely. We share our love willingly, strongly. Or maybe we love someone or something but hold that close to our chests, we love in secret. But what about self- love. Sure, we take time for “self-care”Continue reading “Loving yourself. It’s more than face masks and scented candles.”

It was a slightly over-cast day, but still warm. The kind of day where you think you don’t need sunscreen but then notice your shoulders are pink when you walk home. My hair was heavy with salt water. I sat on the beach with my boyfriend. I watched him watch the waves in front ofContinue reading “shells and salt”

I like when I make them, and I like when things go according to them. The first Saturday during my quarantine, I was determined toContinue reading “Time”
Act as If
My mom once told me that when you’re dressing for an interview, you should dress at least one level up from what you would wear at the job. Someone else told me that you should dress for the job you want, not the job you have. You can wear whatever you want, of course, butContinue reading “Act as If”
Mind, Body, Flow
Meditation, yoga and how they help me. When I was in 7th grade, I started dance. Rather, I started dance again. I had taken a class when I was 5, but quit because I copied my older sister, who quit because she didn’t like the costume. But 8 years later, my desire to be aContinue reading “Mind, Body, Flow”
Isolated Inspiration
I’m living in “unprecedented times,” a “scary world.” Covid19, the Coronavirus is upon us. And I’m writing this from quarantine. A few weeks ago, I saw a few posts on social media about this being a crazy flu in China. It soon made it’s way to the US, leaking into every state. It took holdContinue reading “Isolated Inspiration”
