    May 3, 2017December 12, 2018

    I don’t think my feet realize how long the walk is…but hey, I’ll gladly follow them. And I mean, I rarely wear shoes anyways.  It’s a sign…

    Here’s some late night rambling I wrote after I unpacked our final cardboard box. Giving myself permission to embrace my domestically challenged self, and to always make our place as cozy & beachy as possible.

    Deep thoughts while changing in and out of an über thick wetsuit yesterday.  The Bird of Paradise pose definitely helps with getting out of my 5mm.

    Last night’s late night rambling, or I guess it’s more of me trying to express my gratitude of being able to live within driving distance to the beach.  So much to be thankful for. Big

    October 27, 2016December 12, 2018

    It was such a wonderful/almost surreal thing to open one of the most gorgeous magazines ever…to see something I wrote on one of the first pages. Right after a quote from Robert Frost. Pinch me.

    Here’s another put down your phone and stop comparing PSA.  That I might’ve written for myself. Hence the heavy metaphors. Lately I am just plagued with a sort of odd insecurity. Almost like I should

  • Some Thoughts

    September 17, 2016December 12, 2018

    Every now and then, I just need to unclog my brain and write. Not a super thought provoking post, instructions, a venting session, some sort of tip or the usual stuff I write on here.

    September 16, 2016December 12, 2018

    I’m convinced this is the case, and it explains soooooo many things… Mood swings when unable to get in the water Mild anxiety when thinking of living somewhere landlocked More mood swings when I can’t

    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. ❤️‍🩹🐾
