  • Trailblazers

    I’m watching women in every industry break glass ceilings. As a country music fan (90s country or die, unless it’s Reba then it’s timeless and perfect) I grew up LOVING the women in the industry. Loretta, Patsy, Tammy, Dolly, Reba, Martina, Trisha, Terri, Lee Ann, Faith, Jo Dee, LeAnn…..I could go on and on. Watching…

  • New Collection

    I’m writing this the night before my book is released. It’s late, and I should be in bed. But I just can’t sleep to shut my brain off to allow myself to drift off to sleep. So instead, I’m up, on my people eating couch (it’s super comfy, I love this couch) watching Bones for…

  • Starting Off 2025

    My December updates I had written in very early December. Before anything really happened. And let me just tell you, 2024 ended with a bang, or more like went out in a ball of flames. The garage next to my car caught fire and literally melted the drivers side of my car. $13,000+ worth of…

  • The Dating World

    Bet you never thought you would hear those words out of me. Trust me, you aren’t the only one. But I managed to find myself in a position where I met a man, and I like him. And it really got me thinking about what I would want if I ever really re-entered the dating…

  • It’s Been A While

    I had to take a break, because it felt like I wasn’t enjoying this anymore. But now I’m back, and I realized how much I missed it. The last week has been rough (I say as someone who voted for Kamala Harris) but I know that if we stick together, we will make it through…

  • Family Time

    For the first time in 18 months I get to see my brother and spend time with my niece. It’s hard having them across the country, but it just makes the time we spend together that much more valuable. And I’m excited to have it. Because without it, my life wouldn’t be worth living most…

  • Getting Ready

    I’m not a girl who does her hair and makeup. I’m not a girl who makes sure her nails are done or that she has the latest and greatest skin care routine. Frankly, I’m not even the girl that remembers to wash her face daily. It just isn’t me. And that is okay. But I’ve…

  • Broken Fingers

    I did something quite stupid the other night. I managed to somehow shut my fingers in my car door. Yep. The thing that you would think that only children do – I managed to do it. Now, here’s a tip, they can’t really do anything for a broken finger. And really, I wasn’t expecting them…

  • When even my therapist says “working with you is fun because I never know what you’re going to say happened this week,” you know that your life is truly pure chaos. In her defense, my life is a bit of a shit show at the moment. We have lulls and we have chaos highs, and…

  • The Person I See

    Considering the last 20 months of my life, I’m pretty happy just to be here. But having the last week to mostly unplug outside of my life at work has kinda given me some perspective. I seem to be continuing to be who people expect me to be. Instead of being who I want to…
