  • I love how there’s never any

    May 2, 2018December 12, 2018

    I love how there’s never any awkward hellos when I see the ocean. Yeah, it can be moody, but it always has good manners.  There’s just a beautiful, soothing, and continual hello or goodbye wave…no

  • If you see me staring blankly

    March 25, 2018December 12, 2018

    If you see me staring blankly into space, chances are this is what’s happening.  Or I’m wondering where my sunglasses are, and most likely am wearing them. P.S. If I ever win powerball, that private

    November 21, 2017December 12, 2018

    Last night’s late night rambling. I guess it’s basically a reminder to stop overthinking things. Hopefully it makes someone else smile, and be in the moment a bit more. Side note: I have no clue

    November 20, 2017December 12, 2018

    I said this the other day and my husband said I should make it into a post. So here you go.  Be kind, spread some sunshine, and stepping into someone else’s shoes is a wonderful

  • I’m Tired

    October 23, 2017December 12, 2018

    One morning last week, I did something out of the ordinary: I woke up before Levi, and just sat outside to drink my cup of coffee. You know, one of those simple pleasures of life:

    October 13, 2017December 12, 2018

    After I read this quote, I pretty much felt like someone smacked me on the back of the head with a reality check. So yeah, I had these thoughts stuck in my cranium for a while,

    September 5, 2017December 12, 2018

    I haven’t, for the life of me, been able to write for the past month or so. And I miss it. A ton. So, I just forced myself to sit down with my notebook and

    My motto. Make the most of wherever God puts you. And feel free to let your hair down, spread some sunshine, and go a little wild while you’re there too.

  • Everything’s Gonna Be All Right

    June 17, 2017December 12, 2018

    I had one of those mornings today. Everything had been snowballing for a few days, actually, and somehow all the different emotions, anxieties and worries just decided to come pouring out at once this AM.

    Here’s the last painting I did before I packed up Here’s the last painting I did before I packed up my office…and I haven’t touched a brush since. Feels weird, but the break helped get lots of ideas brewin’ now, too. 🎨🧡 Life’s a beach. Embrace the mess and get the tattoo. #goldfishkissart #watercolor #radart

    Well, in life update news, we moved to Michigan. T Well, in life update news, we moved to Michigan. Two days after saying goodbye to Kili, I said bye to beach life, felt like a chapter of life I loved was slammed shut, and all the air and motivation was knocked out of me. Changes like this take time, and the idea of ever being truly settled in is a bit foreign to me. But, you just have to look for the little glimmers in ordinary days (what’s in all these pics), be present, get out and about, and choose joy while also giving those tears permission to flow. Ok, and say hi to every dog I can, while holding onto summer as long as I can, too. But I hear Fall is next level up here. 🧡

So, if you’ve been following me for a while, life’s taken us many places. I feel like I’m part chameleon and part lone wolf by now, and we will see what this new season brings. I have a feeling Lake Michigan and the upper peninsula will be my happy place, so hopefully we’ll make it out there a bunch. Life’s crazy. Wear a helmet and thank goodness for Facebook marketplace. And that I didn’t give away all my cold weather gear.
    Well, I had to say goodbye to my best four-legged Well, I had to say goodbye to my best four-legged friend, then to life at the beach in a matter of a few days. Life’s been heavy, full of random ugly cries, a bit of a blur, and my brain fog is at capacity, all while having one too many tabs open, too.

But I did manage to scribble down some journal thoughts before the move, and wanted to share. I love these things.

I’ll post a bunch of final beach pics and about life in our new location soon. But for now, I’m just taking it one day at a time.

Or in this case, page. Hope they’re somewhat legible. 🌊❤️‍🩹🖊️ #goldfishkisswriting #thoughts
    How do you sum up an incredible life in few slides How do you sum up an incredible life in few slides and words…I can’t. This loss is such a deep hurt, and the love is so pure. Kili pup, I miss you, and my heart is so damn heavy. Run wild, run free, soak up the sun, steal all the pizza, and find all the sticks and tennis balls, my best four legged friend. ❤️‍🩹🐾
