  • The Odd Self Consciousness of Digital Times

    July 23, 2019July 24, 2019

    See this picture? I’ve been debating on posting it for almost two weeks. And the internal conversations I’ve had with myself over it are borderline hilarious, and also a bit pitiful. Not because I don’t

    August 30, 2018December 12, 2018

    I really was hoping my brain would churn out something witty, sarcastic and funny, but yeah. Not happening. So here you go – a friendly l’il PSA reminder that there is beauty in every day. Making

    February 8, 2018December 12, 2018

    Here’s the latest late night rambling. Moral of the story: loving life is a beautiful thing to do.  Also, I don’t know if it’s all the children’s books I’ve been reading, or some sort of

  • 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,

  • Give yourself a break

    August 16, 2016August 23, 2023

    I just came off of a few weeks that were both great, crazy, and soul searching all at once. Kind of amazing what happens when you unplug for a bit and spend some quality time

  • There’s been a lot of late

    October 26, 2015December 12, 2018

    There’s been a lot of late nights lately. It’s about time one of them inspired some rambling.  Hopefully it makes someone out there smile, stop obsessing about the past, and give a jumping fist pump

  • Last night’s late night rambling. It’s

    June 29, 2015December 12, 2018

    Last night’s late night rambling. It’s inspired by a Dustin Hoffman Quote (which I haven’t been able to find online yet) and this verse. It made me laugh a little. Maybe since it’s ironically true.

  • How to feel better in bikini

    May 20, 2015December 12, 2018

    It’s that time of year. Time to think about summer and rocking some swimwear. Terms “bikini season” and getting a “bikini bod” are popping up everywhere. And there seems to be all kinds of articles

    April 10, 2015December 12, 2018

    The chances of us all being über millionaire CEOs of companies are (hate to break it to you) somewhat slim, but you know what’s even cooler. We all are the CEOs of something better, and

  • Some more late night rambling. (Fueled

    February 21, 2015December 12, 2018

    Some more late night rambling. (Fueled by a Mexican food feast that dreams were made of.) Hope it makes someone out there smile. Because life really is crazy, and worth smiling about regularly. Especially after green chile enchiladas.

    February 6, 2015December 12, 2018

    Each Year, MJ Day and the team at SI Swim do what they do best. They pick out insanely gorgeous women, put them in bikinis, and jet off to exotic locations across the globe to

    December 1, 2014December 12, 2018

    Yeah, I might’ve written this one as a pump up note to myself. But had to share in hopes that it helps someone else out there smile, and tell that annoying voice in their head

  • For Your Age

    October 23, 2014December 12, 2018

    Today is my husband’s birthday, which means mine is coming up soon. (Gasp!) Someone commented on a photo I posted about this and said “Wow did not realize…you have a really amazing body for your

    October 4, 2014December 12, 2018

    For some reason I felt totally compelled to write down these thoughts I had today (while at the gym). I blame the Redbull. It even got my brain all revved up.  It’s my honest, no

    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. ❤️‍🩹🐾
