Hello friends! This week I thought I’d share with you some fun things I’ve been investing time into over on Instagram. I made a pledge a few weeks ago to post more on the image-based social media site as another way to connect with my subscribers. But besides silly selfies and image catalogs of my...

Color Me Stress Free: A Mental Health and Art Initiative (A Special Preview!)
Today is a very special day for you Imagining Happenings blog readers! I’m going to give you access to an unlisted video on my channel and a preview of an initiative I’m really excited about doing but am not quite ready to launch into the world just yet. It’s called Color Me Stress Free,... Continue Reading →
Work/Life Balance: Weddings
I spent this gorgeous Memorial Day weekend in Williamsburg celebrating the marriage of my dear friends Evan and Sarah. It was a beautiful affair not just aesthetically but also in terms of the love that emanated from the happy couple, their family, and the gathered friends. I love weddings. Judging by Facebook (which we all... Continue Reading →
On Writing Resumes
I’ve determined recently that I don’t know how to be a grown-up. I wish they’d required a class in high school or college called “Grown-Upping 101.” That would have been extremely useful now. Instead, you’re left to gather important information haphazardly as you go along. Sure you could read books and study cases online, but... Continue Reading →
Waiting on the World’s Approval
When I was in 5th grade, I received an award for making all A’s in all my classes for the entire year. I remember wondering why everyone was making such a big deal out of it at the time. People (e.g. my friends’ parents) said things like “Maybe Kaitlyn will be Valedictorian” which started... Continue Reading →
Give a Girl a Telescope…
A few weeks ago I was tasked with cleaning out my parents’ attic because it mostly contained my childhood paraphernalia (although my ability to determine it’s worth or throw-away-ability wasn’t that much better than my mom’s so I still wonder what the point of the whole ordeal was other than a strange form of torture.)...

How I Imagined My Life at 25
Tomorrow I turn 25. A quarter of a century. Halfway to 30. My mid-twenties. And I’m not very excited about it. It’s not that I think 25 is particularly old. I’ve still got five more years in my glorious twenties! (So there’s no need to worry, right?) But something still tugs at my subconscious,... Continue Reading →
Quality Versus Quantity: Novel Writing Month 15, Chapter 15 (Yeah, Right…)
I wish I could say that my not working on my novel writing in March at all was a glorified April Fools Joke, but this unfortunate (not) happening is very much real. And in all honesty, I’ve just been too busy. But I’ve used that excuse too many times at this point. It’s a... Continue Reading →
Get Your Priorities Straight (Novel Writing: Month 14, Chapter 14)
Novel writing in February didn’t go quite like I anticipated it. Between it being a short month and being incredibly busy with work and life requirements, the month got away from me, and it was March before I even knew what was happening! I did make a bit of progress on the chapter at... Continue Reading →
Why You Should Stop Apologizing For No Reason
You need to stop apologizing. But no, I don’t mean you should NEVER apologize (that’s for jerks.) And no, this isn’t just for women (although it was born out of a women’s issue). This blog is for passive people. Or rather, people who don’t think of themselves as passive but are in fact acting... Continue Reading →
