Hi beauties…long time no see! I know that I initially said that I’d be posting weekly, but I may need to re-evaluate that. I need to figure out a rhythm that better supports my time and creativity.

Lattes, Light-Bites and Little Revelations
Whew, this week has been such a reflective one. I spent time revisiting some of my old fiction drafts — and honestly, can you believe I’ve written tens of thousands of words over the years? I’ve just always hit a dead end, as though I wasn’t ready to complete a full novel yet. Somewhere along…
A Pinch of Delusion
I’m a few weeks into my goal of working on my story once a week. I’m still fleshing things out, but it feels so strange to pour into something that may not actually go anywhere.

I’ve carried this story in my heart for nearly ten years. For so long, I wasn’t sure how to bring it to life — I just knew it was there, waiting. Then last Friday, something shifted. I sat down at work, and before I knew it, I had drafted the entire thing. I’ve never done…
Creating a Soft Life: Self Care Habits for Comfort
There’s something about comfort rituals that feel like being wrapped in a soft blanket. For me, it’s always been the same: fast food and an episode (or five) of Gilmore Girls. I’d order a heavy (and often greasy) meal and sit in front of the television (or phone). The moment Rory and Lorelai launch into…
