Freakin’ Out on the Interstate

      Comments Off on Freakin’ Out on the Interstate

Sometimes I want to try and bring this blog back (for real); sometimes I want to block every single person I know to see if I can just talk freely and openly about everything without leading them to suddenly worry about me; to be able to talk about being in your mid-30’s, single, (happily) child-free, but really discontent with nearly… Read more »

      Comments Off on “Influencer” marketing over the years… (my story)

This is a sponsored post but all opinions and stories are my own. Thank you for your support of this blog.  The other day I was scrolling back through old blog posts only to realize that I’ve had this blog for over 11 years!

It hits different

      Comments Off on It hits different

This year feels different. We’re going into our second year of a global pandemic; I’m still single; my dog’s anxiety is still a challenge; I’m still recovering from toxic mold exposure (though admittedly, I’ve made good progress); I’m still working a day job and taking action to grow my business.

“Put your phones down.”

      Comments Off on “Put your phones down.”

(After you read this 😉) I sat working at a coffee shop the other day and at a group of couches nearby, there were high schoolers gathered. They were all on their phones – together. Each one of them was staring down at their devices, scrolling. At one point, one of them was even on FaceTime with someone else. “Everyone,… Read more »
