As I'm sure you've noticed, I've taken December off from regular blogging. What with travelling home and holidays immediately after, a break was for the best!
I'll be back in January to ring in 2015 with weekly posts, monthly goals, and photos from my trip to England.
Happy holidays!
Do you have a Word of the Year picked out for 2015? I can't decide if I want to pick one or not...

NO Goals for December
That's right. I am declaring it. I am setting NO goals for myself this December!
One week from today (Tuesday) Katelin and I will be flying home to America. In the few weeks after we have plans for a Christmas shebang with our best friend, Tina, that includes a maternity photoshoot, and a few days...

What I am Craving...
Early mornings involving coffee and meditation.
Printing out pictures to scrapbook, and scrapbooking them lovingly while watching a favorite show.
Making our bedroom a sanctuary filled with twinkling lights, crystals, and candles. A room that inspires me.
Walking my dog regularly.
Sitting down...

Life Lately in IG Photos
Christmas decorations are appearing, Christmas scented candles are being lit, + warm drinks are being drunk by the light of the Christmas tree.
Most days are being spent wrapped up in a warm blanket with a book (currently: The Stand by Stephen King) or computer on my lap. Coffee...

This is My Only Job
My only job is to love myself.
To be there in a way no one else can.
Hand over heart.
Knowing.
Understanding.
My job is not to be there for the world.
To spray compliments and encouragements to you
without ever giving them to myself.
My job is to shine -
My...

5 Goals for November
A new month means a new set of goals!
Can you believe it's already November?
It's also my last month in England - a bittersweet realization I had yesterday. It will be great to be home and get back to work and school, but this has been a fantastic experience.
Before I get into November's goals, let's...

No One Decision is Right OR Wrong
The past few months I have been tossing around a thought about decisions. Specifically, decisions being either right or wrong.
Decisions are often portrayed as two options: the true path, the one that shall lead us towards the light at the end of our tunnel, or the ugly path, the one that will...

Anger + Love, My Authenticity
a little love note
Being honest but reacting less.
Staying Authentic means having opinions that you don't agree with,
but being told I'm rude makes me question -
What is Authentic?
I don't want to hurt you, me...
I want to fight without anger, but anger is all I feel when
I'm passionate.
Too...

Review: The Body Shop Seaweed Skin Care Set
I've been using this skincare set for a little over a month now, and I am in love. Within a day of trying these products my skin was satin-smooth, + after a few days of use I saw a notable reduction in blackheads around my nostrils (where I get them worse).
You can get...

Flower Power + Boundaries

Sometimes one person's boundaries conflict with your own.
This is not a time to betray you + your values. Neither is it a time where you + said person can't find a grounds of communication, coincidence, + respect.
Have a fantastic week!

Listen...

Listen.
To your teachers.
Who are they?
Where do they come from?
How have their stories been created?
What can you gather from these stories?
What can you learn from
These teachers?
Listen
To the ones whose voices are shunned by society.
Who are they?
Where do...

5 Goals for October
Happy October, friends!
I say this every new season, but Fall has to be my favorite season.
Except I totally do not say that about winter.
Surprisingly here in England, it is not feeling exceptionally fall-y! Sometimes it's chilly, sometimes it's downright hot, + it still remains very green.

Knee Highs in the Woods
.jpg)
The best part of living with locals for three months is visiting both the tourist must-sees + the lesser known spots.
Windsor Great Park has been one of my favorite local joints. It's a beautiful walking trail around Virginia Waters (the lake) that includes a waterfall, Roman ruins, and...

5 Things Making Me Feel Really Good Right Now
.jpg)
For a long time I lost touch with myself.
Without even realizing it.
It was just a few weeks ago that I recognized it. It was in the feel of my body that wasn't being fed both what I wanted + what it needed; the feel of my gut that wasn't being checked in with on decisions; + the overall...
