Hey Girl Hey… I always try so hard to put words together properly. A lover of language, I struggle with sacrificing how words sounds verses what they mean. But tonight let’s be real. I’ve had one or two drinks so my intellect is loosening to my heartstrings so I just want to tell you a…

“Ouch! Hot hot hot!” My blistered feet swelter on the burning pavement as water droplets from my afternoon swim prematurely evaporate, leaving my naked feet aching for reprieve from the scorching Texas sun. I thrust my body into the air, attempting to land in the shade by catching my shadow. Yet to no avail, my…

Hot coffee splashes onto my crisp, clean white shirt as I walk down our stairs bear-gripping each tot under an arm while juggling a chipped porcelain mug in my hand. I know it is a precarious feat to attempt, and silently curse our split level house every chaotic morning. But this particular morning, I was feeling…

Despite my love for adventure, experience, and control, I never really was one to talk about “bucket lists.” But then my husband and I made a decision about nine months ago that quickly changed this mindset.

‘Twas the night before Icegedon and all through the city, Every mom in Austin filled with self pity. Cartons of wine stored in the kitchen with care, In hopes that might dull tomorrow’s screaming there. The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of snowy days danced in their heads. And…

Once upon a time my heart and mind would fill with this budding hope right around the turn of the New Year. Ritualistic and methodical, I would carefully pull out a beautiful leather journal with crisp new pages intentionally weathered, imitating a wise whimsy allure I always fell victim to. My fingers would tingle with…

It was 7:15 AM. I finished a workout, and glanced at my Facebook page for the first time today. “My heart is with Vegas.” “Vegas, I have no words.” Then, “Worst Mass Shooting in US History.” My heart raced, and full panic sat in. What in the world happened last night? And then I looked…

Am I unemployed? I sat staring at the box titled, “Job Title?” Do I put freelance writer? I mean “writer” is my dream job and all, but it’s not exactly like I bring home a regular paycheck by any leap of the definition. Do I put “unemployed?” I’ve been unemployed before. I sure remember being…
