Coming Back

Last year, after moving back to Missouri from Seattle, I realised that blogging had lost its appeal for me. But I kept trying to push through, at least on occasion. Then at the beginning of last October, I decided to stop trying. It became more of a chore that I had to do than somethingContinue

The 100 Truths Blogger Tag

Vicarious Bookworm did this tag in January and tagged anyone and everyone. I thought I might give it a go. I tag Word Storm, A Tea with Tumnus, and Olivia’s Catastrophe. As a warning, I did answer these questions a while ago and schedule the post, so some are definitely different now…but hey, what’s itContinue

Living and Saving on a Budget

Having a savings account and a budget is still a rather new concept to me. For most of my adult life, I’ve barely been paying rent (let alone other bills), getting the majority of my food from food banks and churches, and asking for help whenever I had any type of emergency. It hasn’t beenContinue

Budgeting

Turner and I were on a strict no-spending “budget” from after the holidays in 2017 through the first couple months after our move. We had to save up for our move and hen ensure that we didn’t spend all our savings before we both found steady incomes. So aside from our bills and groceries, weContinue

What I Miss about Being a Tour Guide

Back nearly eight years, I was a tour guide and shop assistant for a couple show caves in Arkansas for the summer break. It’s still one of the jobs that I look back on most fondly, despite my boss disliking me and telling me I’m going to hell for liking Harry Potter. There were soContinue

2019 Theme and Goals

I learned so much more about how I operate and how to change things than I had expected in 2018. I still have a long way to go, but my physical and mental health are potentially the best they’ve ever been. I’m still going to strive to continue growing healthy in every way, but it’sContinue

Reimagining Art

Working at an art museum has taught me so much about history, people, cultures, and art. I’m a security and services officer, as is Turner, so we don’t actually get to work in direct correlation to the art beyond telling people not to touch it or get too close and doing a cursory examination forContinue

Our Big Move

Welcome back! To me, to you, to the fairies that are helping protect my socks from the sock thief. My expected hiatus lasted a month longer than I had expected, so apologies for not posting as much as I had been planning. But this little post will update you on all that’s been going onContinue

Five Places I Want to Visit

I’m definitely a contradiction. One of the most baffling types. I itch for two conflicting things constantly, and I can never tell which I want more. I am a homebody, but I’m also a traveler. There are so many things that I adore about both. Like the soft, yet cutting feeling of blades of grassContinue

Pursue

Technically I’ve already written about yearly goals. But this isn’t just about the resolutions and goals I have for this year. It’s about the resolutions and goals I have for my entire life and what I’m doing now to work towards them. It’s about pursuing my dreams and thriving in every moment along the way,Continue
