A year ago today, I sat in a truck in a driveway and listened to the boy I loved tell me it was over. I already knew it had been over for a long time, but hearing it out loud is just a whole di...
If you let it, a week in the mountains can do a lot. If youre open to it, it can make a lot of room for God to move and reshape and heal and breakdown. I walk away from my week in the Smokies despera...
{Ive been a super crappy blogger lately. Im aware. Here and there Ive felt a little guilt creep in about not only my lack of posting, but my lack of writing in general. For the most part Ive been abl...

Something you should know about me is that I have a deep appreciation and love for clichés. You can flip through this blog’s archive and figure that out in a quick second. This one’s a favorite of my...
This isn’t a going to be a long one, mostly because I don’t want to give “haters” the attention they crave. But with an influx of new readers from a couple of new sponsor spots, I just want to make s...

Remember that time I wrote that post about being a virgin and refusing to be ashamed about it? I want to talk about it again. This time, why. Why Ive chosen to stay a virgin until I ge...
J and I have recently become obsessed with Inside the Actors Studio. Like, TiVo it and watch it together at night, obsessed. It all started when the cast of Family Guy was on, and J knows m...
I am a woman of many opinions. This comes as no surprise to anyone. And I like to think that most of my opinions are pretty okay ones. They weren’t always, I know that for a fact I used to give some ...
awkward:-I had this moment of revelation last night standing in line at Izzo’s with Jeremy of just how awkward the two of us are together. We are incapable of standing still, not pushing and nudging ...
Father,This woman I see when I look in the mirror is near unrecognizable now. Every day I look a little less like this flesh Im so absorbed in, a little more like the saint you want be to be. Ho...

Real talk: its possible to care too much. I know, because Ive perfect the art of it in my 23 years. If "caring" for you equals unnecessary stress, wondering what complete strangers think of y...
A week doesnt seem like very long, but to me it felt like a lifetime. From the get-go it became very evident to me that Gods pull to take a break wasnt about the blog itself, but was about some thing...
