I don’t often talk about my past - including where I’m from. It’s not that I’m ashamed of what’s behind me and what got me where I am today, I guess I just don’t often see the relevance in brining it up.
Read MoreI'm not an online shopper. I have always believed that it was a lesser way to shop. I mean, how could I ever really know what I was getting before I saw it, felt it, and tried it on in person?
Read MoreI’m always up for a good challenge – even if it’s me that’s initiating it.
I’ve realized over time that writing is good for my soul. I get immense amounts of enjoyment out of spilling my feelings in text, even if I’m the only one who reads them.
Read MoreEver get up in the morning and immediately wish you could skip the day and go right back to sleep? Yeah, me neither...
Read MoreThey say that when you're in a relationship with someone, you should try and take an interest in what they are interested in. Well, I don't know who "they" are, but because of them, I'm learning to fly fish. You read that right; I've been putting on waders and trudging through knee-high Michigan rivers in search of little fly-nibbling Trout. I'm just as stunned as you are, maybe more.
Read MoreI, like many millennials out there have my own website. Partially for exposure when it comes to applications and networking, partially because it gives me a creative outlet to write and design, and partially just for vanity. I mean, I'm only human.
Read MoreYou're always just one decision away from a completely different life. In a similar way, I believe, you're always just one conversation away from meeting a person who will completely change your life, too.
Read MoreThis weekend marks the end of another year. 2017 came and went faster than on-coming traffic on the highway and yet, somehow, I am still wishing it had passed by even faster.
Read MoreI can't sleep. For those who know me - there's no surprise there. I would say that I have a lot on my mind, but that would be the understatement of the century.
Read MoreA day with your family, watching glorious planes take to the skies and show us what flying is all about - that's how we do Independence Day in #PureMichigan.
Read MoreFour years ago, I was beginning to make decisions that would change my life forever. Four years ago, today seemed like an eternity away. Four years ago, I had wide eyes and ambitions as great as the day is long. Four years ago, was my senior year in high school.
Read MoreSome people seem to have their family histories all figured out. We all know those people, the ones who can trace their ancestry lines back to the Mayflower and beyond. They're all so full of pride for their family and possibly for their heritage. Unfortunately, coming from a small town in the Midwest - without any significant ethnic diversity or any obvious settlement pockets in the area - I have never had the privilege of knowing where I was from beyond my own address.
Read MoreIreland and I have a weird history together. The first time I visited, I came away insisting that I felt little desire to return. That sentiment didn't last, obviously. Not even a year later and I threw caution to the wind and back to the Emerald Isle I ventured. I was already abroad in Scotland for the holidays, so the travel there was a hop and a skip, literally. So, I threw some spare cash together and embarked on my second time across the Irish Sea.
Read MoreIt's been some time since I last posted. For that matter, it's been a long time since I had something to post about. But now that I'm back in the country I love, let the travel blogging commence.
Read MoreYou know that feeling you get when something just isn’t right? The hairs on the back of neck stand up and you get a cold chill down your spine… you should always listen to that intuitive voice inside your head that warns you of the unknown because you’ll find that often-times, without explanation, that voice is on to something.
Read MoreI'm just another Millennial taking on life one cup of coffee at a time. My blog Espresso Myself is a place for me to be me, for myself, and for everyone else. Write on!
