Sign up for this "bonanza of love notes" from beautiful  Mara Glatzel! I know I did, and the first e-mail was just  as wonderful and uplifting as I could have hoped. Ever-encouraging Jes wrote one of the most raw and INSPIRING pieces I've read to date. It was beyond  powerful. Seriously,...

Fight the War

Loving my body is an every day war.  Not just with myself but with the people on the street that I compare myself to, the celebrity bodies everywhere, and the society that is enabling all of the negative imagery, advertising, and thinking to happen in and around my life.  This amazing...

Goals

It's freshman weekend in my hometown, and in exactly one week Katelin and I move back into dorms and begin classes. Oh, Summer, care to explain yourself? I love to make personal goals for new years, so I've made up a list of some for this school year below. Feel free to join me and leave some of your...

Coming Back to the Self

Loving myself and loving my body are two very different (yet connected) things. Why didn't I ever realize this?  Without the first, I cannot be fully enriched with the latter. This seems obvious, but I don't think I've ever totally absorbed this fact. I've always focused on tackling love for...

Crabby-Rude-Snappy-Pants

A few days ago I tweeted, "Some days you're not a spitfire, you're a crabby-rude-snappy-pants, and you should stay away from other humans. #me" Because some days and weeks are just rough. Especially the weeks where I get my period in the 30-minute car ride to work (also the day I remind myself to bring a pad and still forget), bleed through my shorts, and find out the pad/tampon dispenser in the...

Self Love and My One Year Anniversary

Friday, Katelin and I celebrated one year of being together. This was obviously a special day that we had been waiting on for at least the past two months, even caving and exchanging presents weeks before the big day. It pretty much felt like a summer long celebration, and I loved it!  This is...

Morning Coffee and My Realization

A few months back I went through a phase where I was determined to rid myself of caffeine and become pure -- like drinking tea and infused water pure. Why? Because somehow every blog I read was writing on how much better life is without coffee. I kid you not, I read at least three or four pieces...

Updates

Uppin' my game here a little and made an account for BlogLovin'. I feel like I'm making this website harder than it really is, especially since I'm in the generation of the tech savvy! My first instinct when having frustration over claiming my blog was to just sigh, close out of the website, and never return, BUT ALAS, I persevere.  So, follow me!  Follow my blog with Bloglovin One...
