I started to write this post during one of my many moments of rest during our family getaway to Idyllwild. We’re back home now and pretty much settled in and I thought I would share some of our pictures and finish the thoughts I started… Today is our third day in Idyllwild and it has been such… Continue reading Idyllwild – Pine Cove
I feel like a new woman! I’ve been absent from here for so long but I can almost safely say that not a day went by that I didn’t think about posting, but I just could not find the time to write a proper post without worrying about the time I was losing to studying/reading… Continue reading In walked relief (and gratefulness)
I’ve missed writing and I wish I could say more right now but I’m so exhausted at the moment that all I can think of is rest. Just wanted to say I’m thankful for the ability to feel this exhaustion and where I am at this moment and that I’ll be falling asleep soon.

Stop what you’re doing and take the time to watch this. My husband sent this link to me last night and I loved it so much, I just had to share it with you all. It’s worth taking the 10 minutes and 39 seconds…
Are we as a people so broken and experiencing such heartache, sorrow, and pain that we no longer know how to identify happiness even in the smallest of things? I’ve noticed in the past few weeks that often times when people bring up something in conversation it is seldom about positive events. Often times the conversations revolve around… Continue reading Is Happiness Overrated?
Sometimes I find that I’ve done a pretty good job of reminding my mind to forget certain details about my past, particularly my early childhood. Things that I know are there but that I’ve sort of buried away because I don’t really want to dig up those emotions or because I feel I’ve laid them… Continue reading Music and My Father
I did it! I completed my very first 5K race yesterday at the Bonnie J. Addario Lung Cancer Foundation: Your Next Step is the Cure, Orange County, CA 5K!! I woke up Saturday morning with an “oh oh” feeling. I had a terrible tummy ache and my body just felt weird. Achey. Our original plan was… Continue reading Oh The Finish Line!
