    Hi Lesley!
    how are you? I came across your blog and love your gift ideas! Maybe an idea I’ll try next year instead of all the scrappings I used this year!

The past couple of days have been difficult, for no reason in particular except that they’ve felt difficult. Not having any reason to pin point to to say I need to fix this to make me feel normal makes me feel horrible; my life is splendid and pretty much everything I’ve ever wanted it to…

About a month ago, I wrote about how I was anxious and nervous about an upcoming event. I couldn’t write out exactly what it was at the time because things weren’t in place even though I was watching them click as I was typing. So, for those who thought I was preggers, I am not, …

Posted in Personal

I’ve been sitting here most of the morning with my laptop open on my bare legs staring out the window towards the mountains and the ocean wondering if I should write this. Then I realized I should, I should write how I feel in this moment to remember where I came from and how I’m…
