The other day, my boyfriend, Chris, and I had a conversation about our less-than-desirable habits. The one of mine that I discussed with him was the fact that I just pick up my phone if I'm bored. I don't have a particular reason to be scrolling through one app or another, it's just the fact …

The Get Honest Project: Rediscovering My Voice
I've shied away from this calling for too long. Since I was a child, I've been drawn to the way language can create other worlds, how it transmits untold messages, and how it can become most anything at all. It's moldable and fluid. It was the hiding place I used to run to when other …

The Get Honest Project: Mindsets + Cycles
There is so much power in the way that we think. This has been proven in a variety of ways, we know this, and yet it can be so difficult to maintain a positive outlook. As creative people, we feel emotions so deeply, and revisit those emotions over again to pour them into our craft. …
The Get Honest Project: I Am a Sponge (and so are you!)
Truth be told, we aren't always as complicated as we make ourselves seem. Many things in life, in fact, are quite simple although we like to complicate them. So today, I thought I'd make a comparison between us and something very simple: sponges. By nature, we can be very similar; much like sponges in water, we …

Quick Thought: Like Wildflowers…
The last couple of weeks have been c r a z y and I feel like I've been running in circles just trying to get everything done. I've been struggling with sleeping well as of late (more on that in a future post), so I've just been trying to get through the days doing what …
Taking Risks 2019
This post has been a long time coming, and of course, as I've written it's become something totally different than I'd originally imagined. And I'm excited about that. The unknown hasn't been looking so scary lately; in fact, it's been looking like somewhere I want to be more often. After all, they say that there's …
III. The Greatest Investment
I wish I could say that I was a wiz when it comes to money, along with any and all financial decisions. The truth is, I'm still working all of that out, but I do know a thing or two about what it means to invest in something. Now, granted, I've never invested a large …
II. How I’m Cutting Down on Wasted Time
This happens to all of us: you're sitting in a comfortable chair, on your phone, and then some kind of YouTube or social media vortex draws you in and when you look up, it's suddenly been three hours and it's dark outside. Yeah... not the best way to spend our time, is it? I know …
I. Reframing My Mindset: Reading Can Be Bad
Picture this: a beautiful painting is hanging on a wall. The colors are just right and the scene is idyllic. It's an eye-catcher as soon as you walk into the room. But the frame is all wrong. It's too bulky and cumbersome. It weighs the painting down and overshadows its beauty. In order to maximize …
