The Walk That Led Me Somewhere Unexpected

I went for a walk today at my favorite spot. I wasn’t sure if I really felt like it, but I knew I needed it. Fresh air, movement, time to just be. At first, I thought maybe I’d just sit on a bench and let my thoughts wander. But after…

I took myself to mat Pilates today. I’ve been once before, but every class is different—new movements, new challenges, new tools. Today, as I stood in line, I watched the people ahead of me grab two rings and two balls. Naturally, I followed suit. And guess what? I was wrong.…

Letting People In

February 23, 2025

About a year ago, I made a decision that, at the time, felt like self-preservation. I created another Instagram account and used it as my main one, keeping the old one around only for memories. But here’s the thing—I didn’t add a lot of people to it. In fact, I…

Lately, attachment has been on my mind. I finished Attached and now I’m deep into Anxiously Attached, and let me tell you—this book is hitting me in ways I didn’t expect. It’s making me think, but this time, it’s different. I’m actually making connections, seeing patterns, realizing why I am…

Nobody Cares. And That’s the Best Part.

February 22, 2025

You know, for the longest time, I had this fear that everyone was watching my every move. That if I stepped outside my comfort zone—whether it was running, working out, or, hell, even line dancing—people would judge me. Whisper about me. Think, Wow, she looks ridiculous. So I held back.…

Love, Luck, and the Science Behind Connection

February 22, 2025

Isn’t it interesting how some people find love so easily? Like, they just exist, breathe, go about their lives, and—boom—they’re paired up for life. It’s effortless, automatic, like some cosmic force just hands them a relationship on a silver platter. I’ve always found it annoying. Okay, maybe that’s a little…

February 21, 2025

I had the time of my life. My smile was ear to ear. It’s been years since I stepped onto a dance floor with any real intention. The last time I attempted country line dancing, I was mostly a wallflower, throwing myself into a song here and there but never…

A Week of Quiet

February 21, 2025

It’s been a week since the quiet. That strange, abrupt silence that followed weeks of conversation. And I know, logically, it shouldn’t matter as much as it does. We never even met in person. But for whatever reason, those silly little feelings still felt real. I miss our conversations. He…

Two Left Feet and a Country Beat

February 21, 2025

I grew up in Texas, where country music isn’t just music—it’s the backdrop to everything. Backyard barbecues, Friday night drives, long summer days that stretched into even longer nights. And if you were lucky enough to grow up near Fort Worth, you knew that Billy Bob’s was more than just…

Yoga: Sitting Down and Calming the Chaos

February 20, 2025

Yoga. The zen. The movement. The relaxation. Something I’ve loved for years, something I always say I should do more of, something that makes everything feel just a little bit lighter. Tonight’s class? Chair yoga. Yep, the kind designed for older adults or anyone who needs a little extra support.…
