The Truth

I've been thinking a lot about the truth and what does that mean. How do you determine what is the truth? How can 2 people see or be in the same situation but not have the same truth? How can something be so dependent on perspective carry so much weight in our world and our society?

For me, this blog will be MY truth. This is MY story. What I say and share here is mine and not a reflection of those who may be in my stories or a part of my world and life. I am responsible for my story and to keep it accurate, I promise that what I share here will be my truth. In the same right, I hope that I will be respected as what I share with you may not always be pretty, what you want to hear or what you want for me. I am the writer of my own story and what's on my heart. Sharing is not an easy place to be and anyone who knows me knows how uncomfortable I am with emotions, especially ones that may make me cry. Not in my comfort zone. But I promise to be authentic and truthful. To listen to my heart and let is guide me along this path.


So let your heart sweetheart be your compass when you're lost
And you should follow it wherever it may go
When it's all said and done you can walk instead of run...
-Lady Antebellum, Compass

Life Moves Pretty Fast...

' Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.' -Ferris Bueller It's been just a little while. And by that, I mean it's been over a year. Wow. But I guess that's what happens when life happens. So, I'm finally carving out some time (or times, if I'm being totally honest) to write. It's not for lack of wanting. But you know, priorities. Just a few things pull my time here and there these days. Work, husband, fur kids, human kid, friends, family... the list goes on. Let me give you the down and dirty on what's been happening. January 2016, in a visit to Patrick in Aspen, Colorado, we got stuck on a mountain pass. Literally.  We had to get mountain rescued off. This is one of those stories that is SO good in person to tell, and quite frankly, where people often think I'm making shit up because it's that crazy.   That same visit, we eloped! We knew we wanted to get married. Y...

Pics or it didn't happen

That's the old adage, right? Pictures (aka evidence) or you didn't do it, right? Just like it's not real unless it's FBO (good old Facebook official). Funny how we need the digital evidence to prove what we've done in real time. It's hard to believe that a month ago I was packing my bags for a 10-day adventure across the country. It feels like it was just yesterday, but forever ago at the same time.  Portland, Salt Lake City, Omaha, Cincinnati and Raleigh.  But it was so much more than that.  It was laughing with friends and family that we don't see often enough. It was seeing that only half of Oregon is the tree-lined lush state. It was making up stories of rock monsters and talking to all the different species of animals in the fields along the road. It was eating gas station food, taking a gamble with the Mexican restaurant near the hotel and 'modern' rest stops. It was karaoke, wine, beer and stepping foot in states we'd never been in (whic...

The Heart of the Matter

If you're coming to my blog hoping to find out about my recent marriage, you've come to the wrong place... you're most likely not going to get what you're looking for here. What I've come to write about is related though. As many of you know, I work for lululemon athletica here in Raleigh. 6 months ago I had just had my first interview with them and was learning about a company that I knew very little about.  I knew I loved the woman who hosted my interview, and I did not like the other women who were in my group interview (oops!). The woman who hosted my interview is a woman named Jami, who I learned is the store manager. She was wearing a pineapple tank top and from Ohio- obviously we connected ( or at least, I felt a connection ). Jami left shortly on maternity leave after I started at lulu, so we didn't have much of a chance to work together. One day before she left though, she was training me and had to excuse herself for a phone call, and afterwards,...
