Let’s roam free, wild, and serendipitously. Let’s explore with our feet on the edge and our hearts on our sleeves. Let’s run the halls and dance like there’s no tomorrow. Let’s shake our boots off, let down our hair, and throw our arms into the air. Let’s take a roadtrip with no destination, but a journey. Let’s […]
THE THING ABOUT DEPRESSION…
The funny thing about depression is that it takes your heart. It tears your soul. It makes you feel empty and weak and vulnerable inside. It makes you go to dark places you think you’ll never rise out of. The thing about depression, is that it makes you feel numb. You lose yourself in a […]
DISCONNECT
I always allow myself to disconnect when needed. I think there’s great importance in disconnecting with noise, re-centering your soul, and allowing your mind to re-align with peace. There’s an issue with society that tells us that disconnecting is not allowed; that our business will fail, our relationships will soil, and our time will be […]
FINDING YOUR SPACE
Finding your space in this world is such a complicated and delicate path to weave. It’s about balance and growth. Nurturing the mind as much as nurturing the soul. It’s about self-discovery and sharing your gifts with the world. As much as we grow, we must help others to grow as well. It’s about love […]

BOOK CLUB: BIG MAGIC
As one of my first books finished within the year, this was a lovely read to regenerate and dive deeper into the art of creativity. I recommend this to any creative individual looking to seek more from their creative art or is hesitant about living a creative life. Elizabeth Gilbert does an incredible job portraying her own […]
PUSHING YOUR BOUNDARIES
You should never live within the boundaries that other people set for you, but you should also never live within the boundaries that you set for yourself. Do things that scare you. Purposefully put yourself out of your comfort zone. Consistently pursue things that make you feel uncomfortable. Challenge yourself. Push yourself. Understand something new. Live a […]
DRIFT
If it brings you peace If it brings you happiness Then drift in the direction that the wind takes you Because darling, it’s not so often That a moment of true bliss Finds your feet and sweeps you away. Love J.J.
I WILL NEVER BE A WELL BEHAVED WOMAN
I never once was much of a girl who liked flowers, dolls, and princes. Nor did I care for fairytales, happily ever afters, or make believe. Never did I ever beg for something pink, something frilly, or something to dress up in. But what I did ask for was adventure. To play in the sand, […]
