I’ve been thinking a lot recently about my choices. And how much I worry about my choices after the fact. I’m a consistent second-guesser. I usually stumble into my decisions rather than consciously make a choice, which only compounds the aftermath of my descent into second-guessing hell. It isn’t the way I’d like to live...

30 Days of Yoga Camp with Adriene!
How often have you committed to “30 Days” of some new idea, workout, or diet, and only managed maybe the first 5 to 10? I think we’ve all done that. People tout their systems as life changing and only a small commitment because 30 days doesn’t seem that long, right? That couldn’t be that hard!... Continue Reading →

In Defense of “Spaleb” (Or That Time Pretty Little Liars Jumped Five Years Forward and Broke Up Fan-Favorite Ships)
Pretty Little Liars’ five-year time jump this winter season has all the fan favorite relationships in turmoil. But really, what can you realistically expect after five years out of high school and their hometown?

New Year, New Logo!
I’m going to start this blog pretty honestly. I sat staring at an empty Word document for about 30 minutes with a growing sense of unease as I tried to figure out what to write for this week. Rarely do I have NOTHING come to mind. Well, I suppose a few things did float up,... Continue Reading →
Mercy Street: Virginia is for (Film) Lovers
Have you heard about the contender for “Downton Abbey” status that premiered on PBS this past weekend? It’s called “Mercy Street,” and not only is it a well crafted and high production value TV series, but it was also filmed in my home state of Virginia! Even more special to my heart though, one of...

The Weirdness of Women’s Clothing
Women’s clothes are weird. If you’re a woman, you probably already know this. If you’re man…well apparently you have an interest in women’s clothes and who am I to judge? Essentially I’m pretty fed up with women’s clothes. Sometimes I fantasize about burning my bra and running naked through the fields with my only covering... Continue Reading →
Star Wars, George Lucas, and the Problem of the All-Powerful Auteur
So if you haven’t seen Star Wars: The Force Awakens yet, you’re missing out. Even if you’ve only been vaguely aware of the Star Wars universe, I’d recommend it because it’s a great start to a new arc of Force awesomeness. And one of the many reasons I’d recommend this new Star Wars is because... Continue Reading →
Why You Are Not Insignificant (And Other Thoughts On Why You Matter)
Do you ever feel insignificant in your world? Your job? Your friend group? It’s an easy thing to experience these days. People are used and abused for their talents or lack there of and very rarely appreciated. And I think we as a culture devalue ourselves when we do things that don’t seem overly glamorous....

Art, Depression, and Monsters of the Mind
I started a blog yesterday that was pretty honest and raw about the rough time I’ve been having with depression recently. But it was SO raw, that I was a little afraid to continue writing it and post it. You all know I’m an advocate for honesty in my blog and vlog, but I think... Continue Reading →
