Hey. I have a question for you. Do you feel like you’re struggling right now? I was reminded recently that it’s okay to struggle. It’s okay not to have it all together. It’s okay to learn and grow and become. If you’re struggling, that means you’re fighting. If you’re struggling, that means you’re trying. It’s…

On Old Habits
Y’all know I like to keep things positive, but I also like to keep it real. And things are about to get really real. I recently made a post on Instagram (check out my account here or at the bottom of the blog!) with a series of pictures of things most would consider “junk food”….
On Easiness
I’ve been thinking a lot about this quote I saw from Bob Goff: “What’s simple isn’t always easy, what’s easy doesn’t always last.” This whole healthy living thing–it’s not complicated. It’s actually quite simple. Eat well. Exercise. Take care of yourself. While there’s nuances and details and science behind those statements, the bottom line is,…
On Fearlessness
At the beginning of the year, I didn’t make any resolutions, but I did choose a word for the year. Something to work toward and be truer of me by the end of the year: Fearless. I chose this word, well, because I tend towards being a pretty fearful person. And what I’ve come to…
On Messiness

Banana Oat Protein Muffins
A few years ago, there was a show on NBC called Strong. Professional trainers teamed up with women to help them achieve fitness goals, get stronger, and face different challenges and obstacles every week. It wasn’t the most amazing show ever, and only ran for one season, but my little empathetic INFJ heart latched on…
On Balance and Self-Talk
This is a piece of Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake. You may be wondering what it’s doing here in my kitchen. It has no moral ability. It’s not good. It’s not bad. It’s a piece of cake. It may not be the most nutritious option, and eating it all the time probably won’t help me feel or…
On Failure
Some people say failure’s not an option. I get where they’re coming from, but I beg to differ. Failure is always an option. Not one you strive for, but it’s always an option. That doesn’t sound very positive, does it? Hear me out. Maybe failure isn’t the worst thing in the world. Failure gives you…
You’re Invited
These days, kitchens are not just a place to cook a meal. Turn on any home renovation show, and you’ll see that no man is an island, but everyone seems to want one in their kitchen. Because the kitchen is no longer merely a place where food is made. It’s where people congregate, converse, eat,…
