Walls
Anyone who knows me well, knows that Tom Petty is one of my childhood heroes. His music was the soundtrack to the majority of my formative years, and remains some of the most important music in my life to date.

Life As An Empath
Growing up with an ER nurse for a mom definitely has its perks, let me tell you. Any time my brother or I got injured or sick, she knew exactly what to do and was a rockstar at making things better. That being said, there were SO MANY times I tried to milk situations to Continue reading

The Underdogs
Last night I gifted my niece (Abby) and nephew (Wyatt) an alien themed beach ball I had gotten them as a souvenir from my recent trip to Roswell, NM. As we were playing, Abby (two years older than Wyatt) quickly turned it into a game of “whoever touches it first gets the ball.” As I Continue reading
