Ways to Show Love Every Day (And Not Just on Valentine’s Day)
Often, the littlest acts of kindness done for no apparent reason other than to say “I love you” or “I’m thinking about you” can have the biggest impact. Not to say that Valentine’s Day isn’t a great day to show love to those in your life. But I am working to show the people I…
Why We Still Need Feminism (14+ Reasons, Actually)
Before we even get into this post, let’s define what feminism is and make sure we are all on the same page: fem·i·nism – noun: the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes. I used to see feminism as a dirty word. It was for all these liberal women who didn’t realize that…

End of the Year Review: 2016
At the beginning of the year, I chose three words to grow in and help guide me throughout 2016: balance, fullness, and detachment. It’s been a long year and a lot has happened. For a few of my highlight, I… Traveled… a LOT (see here, here, and here for a few of my blogs on my…
