  • Where is the sleep?!

    I am so DESPERATE.I have to say I am feeling so desperate. WHERE IS THE SLEEP!?! THERE IS NO TIME FOR SLEEP ANYMORE! My left eye has been twitching since the middle of August. I hate my former self right now for talking about how GREAT it would be to get back into the fall…

    I have so much to say

    I just have so much to say. I am feeling super reflective lately because I am finally realizing just how much I love the life I have made here in Dublin. I’ve always loved it here… but mannnn this is unbelievable. I am also extremely happy that I have finally found a place and a…

  • This year has been a blessing.

    This year has been a blessing.

    And then we won! I couldn’t believe it! I have to just take a minute here. To be thankful and grateful and feel blessed because I am. This past week I have danced every single day (till yesterday) and I made my TV debut!! We were asked to participate in Ireland’s An Jig Gig TV…

    Food runs my life part 2

    Are you a picky eater? Share some of your favorite food quirks with us (the more exotic, the better!). Omnivores: what’s the one thing you won’t eat? WELL that is such a great question isn’t it? Until recently, I thought that being a picky eater meant you only liked to eat a few things. Like oh geez…

  • Security in doing things that take a long time

    Security in doing things that take a long time

    I swear… from that moment I was determined to get to where I am today. When, on that dreadful day – February 5th 2013- I ended up in the ER with a torn achilles tendon, I knew I was on the beginning of a verrryyyyy long journey. The first ten days felt the longest. By…

  • Let your thoughts flow.

    Our free-write is back by popular demand: today, write about anything — but you must write for exactly ten minutes, no more, no less. What did I get myself into? I have been running around like a madwoman all week! This week was auditions for UCD Dance Society and they asked me to teach the hip…

  • Deep aerobics y’all.

    Deep aerobics y’all.

    We got tickets and that evening we experienced and became masters of the art form of Deep Aerobics. It is deep. Trust. So my urge slash itchiness slash infection with being active and doing fun things has continued on strong! The Fringe Festival is in Dublin at the moment and I liked it on Facebook…

  • Walking along the Dublin seafront

    Walking along the Dublin seafront

    How can you beat that^?! The photo honestly doesn’t even do it justice, but yesterday’s walk along the Clontarf seafront was so nice. I was just itching to go out and do something yesterday. I’ve been feeling like I haven’t been using my free time to actually dooooo anything. So yesterday it all came to…

  • Don’t settle… Chase after the rush.

    Don’t settle… Chase after the rush.

    So I read this article yesterday about why you should move five times in your life and how you should never stop chasing that uncomfortable feeling you have when you find yourself in a new experience. It kind of reminds me of that movie … I can’t remember what it’s called but basically the guy…

  • Remember remember… the 11th of September

    I still remember it like it was yesterday. You know the way that people say that? When I was a kid I used to hear that phrase and think… what the heck does that even mean? That made no sense to me. Looking back on it now, though, it makes absolute perfect sense. The memory…
