Looking at life through a different lens
Reading Time: 4 minutes I guess, I’ll share a poem because that’s the easiest way I can get words onto the screen today. C19 – Bingo! Dear loved one Dear little girl Dear letters Dear change Dear hope Dear tears Dear structure Dear mountains Dear – anxiety I wake up thinking it’s been a bad dream I know that […]
Reading Time: 4 minutes The past few weeks I’ve been doing a bit more reflecting on my writing this year. More specifically, poetry – what it does for me right now, how and where it started last fall and how I want it to continue to evolve. It’s kind of weird for me to see its evolution this past […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes This is a collaboration and ad post. I recently met Alicia of Boxed In, Co who makes the She Matters Subscription Box through the Boston Business Women’s networking group. Over the next few weeks, we’re doing a few collaborations together and she was gracious enough to push herself to write up a quick post for […]

Reading Time: 10 minutes Self-help books don’t always sit well with me. I think there are a lot of them with good intentions, but there are so many that leave something to be desired. But I also think that it comes down to who is the intended audience, and am I really them. I picked up Rachel Hollis’s book, […]
Reading Time: 6 minutes I’m going to start by saying that I don’t think everyone needs to have a meal plan, but I think it also depends on what you’re goals are and what fits your life.

Reading Time: 6 minutes “I almost feel like I lost a part of myself.”
Reading Time: 2 minutes So, if I was to write a letter to you – to all the peopleout there who feel burdened with grief, who feel less than, who are struggling to stay afloat and navigate the harsh waters of their reality, I would start with Dear Loved One.
