  • I have so much to say

    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…

  • 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…

  • Happy Birthday Babygirl.

    Happy Birthday Babygirl.

    One year ago today I was so desperate. One year ago today I was so hopeful. One year ago today I knew I would be here. One year ago today I had no idea how I would get here. One year ago today I had faith that carried me through to today. Today I am…

  • 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…

  • My mind is always reeling

    My mind is always reeling

    Busy busy busy. I’m a busy bee. The routine is back! September is here and the routine is here to stay now. And I’m thinking. My mind is reeling. Now I’m not sure if I’ve used that word correctly but it reminds me of a movie reel like they use in the theaters. It just…

  • When life gives you lemons and what not

    My goooddddnessssssssss I think I hit stone bottom yesterday. You know, the smaller less mean and horrible younger brother of rock bottom. I really do think that. I was feeling awful about my job and about my life. And why ?! That directionless feeling crept back in… You know the feeling I mentioned before? The…

  • Passions are what define our lives.

    Passions are what define our lives.

    I read that somewhere… that title up there. The entire sentence actually reads “passions are what define our lives, not professions”. I feel very strongly about this. I also use my passions to guide my life and I’m not ashamed of that at all. What is hard for me is that I still need to…
