It was my husband’s 27th birthday yesterday and I just have to give him a shout out! Dear Franklyn- You are my dearest friend and sweetest love. While this year has been full of so many ups and downs, you have been the light in my heart that made it all worthwhile. You are such…
Burning sage and no, we have no evil spirits
Sooooo you may think I’m crazy, but recently I’ve been on the hunt for sage. A few weeks ago, I was at a farmers market and I saw they were selling some sage. I was kind of curious about it because I’m kind of all about that hippi shit, but I also thought it was…
Cultural Touches To Our Day
“Heritage – be proud of it for you will be its legacy. It’s your responsibility to carry on and learn your heritage. Otherwise, it will be lost.” ― Kailin Gow, Bitter Frost I was born in Belarus (an Eastern European country bordering Russia, Ukraine, and Poland) and while I have far moved on from the days I used…
I don’t have a job, but I have an office.
Hello friends! It’s been a while. I wanted to get back to blogging, but we’ve had quite a bit going on. This year I moved from Atlanta, GA to Charleston, SC to Ann Arbor, MI and as of this week the hubs and I are now going to be in Lexington, KY for about a…
After 15 Minutes of Fame
In the age of social media… anyone can be famous. So I’m going to try not to compare myself to any real celebrity because I’m well aware that in the grand scheme of things, I’m more like a small ant near my ant hole- only noticed by the other ants around me and insignificant…
My Soap Opera turned Happily Ever After
Life is crazy sometimes. Like you don’t see this coming, but it’s totally awesome kind of crazy. This time last year is when I got on a total zouk dancing train after me and this nice dude I dated for a few months broke up. I ended up traveling 1-2X per month socially dancing at…
Embracing Adaptation
When I was younger, I was meticulous about my schedule. I planned for the weekend a week ahead, and I planned for my future years ahead. I loved doing it. And I’d cringe when something got in the way of my plans, even if it was just that my plans were shuffled around by a…
Strengths and Weaknesses are Circumstantial
So, one of my favorite questions is “what are your weaknesses”? It’s weird, but I like it for a few reasons. It tells you how self aware someone is. It also tells you what someone perceives to be a weakness. And lastly, it gives you an idea of what their strengths may be because the…
‘Cause You Had a Bad Day
I know everyone has bad days sometimes. I don’t know how your bad days go, but some of those days for me are triggered by something big, some are because I’ve just become exhausted overtime and need a break, or some days are aggravated by a bunch of little things. Maybe I’m being particularly emotional…
Chase Down Your Passion
“Chase down your passion like it’s the last bus of the night.” YOLO, right? I mean life is short in the sense that the only definite thing you have is the moment, and once it’s over things may or may not change. Before you know it, time will pass you by so quickly that you didn’t even…
