  • Writing when I feel bad.

    Writing when I feel bad.

    Today feels really hard. Yesterday felt extremely hard. My parents sold my family home yesterday. I feel like the roots I had in this Earth have been uplifted without any closure. I’m not there, so what can I do? It feels surprisingly (yet also familiarly) lonely. I know I’m here, in Ireland, with a great…

  • A steady drip is a good flow.

    A steady drip is a good flow.

    I woke up this morning at 615 am so that I could drive to Shannon Airport with my roommate (who is an absolute angel by the way) to pick up my Grandfather. He is visiting Ireland for the first time and he will be here for the next 6 weeks exploring the country of his…

  • Finding your truth.

    So here’s a thought for a Friday. Give yourself the weekend maybe to ponder this. How do you know what you know? How did you learn it? Who did you learn it from? Who did they learn that from? How do you know its the truth? Is it fact? Just think about these things for the…

  • How about just be who you are?

    How the heck do we do that eh? Well I’ve been thinking a lot lately about trying not to think ahaha! And it has cleared up a few things for me. I have spent so much time getting caught up in what I want to be or how I should be. You know that feeling?…

  • Here is my take on self-worth

    Here is my take on self-worth

    You can’t put a price on your self-worth. And so what happens when people try to do that? You learn to fight for what you think is right… eventually. Allow me to share. It hit me like a ton of bricks today and it was so gratifying. Someone was trying to sell me something. Something…

  • Why don’t I stay awhile?

    Why don’t I stay awhile?

    I have missed this. This here. Sitting here typing to my heart’s content and freeing my mind to allow more space for my soul to breathe. That’s what this is about for me. I have nearly avoided it for the past few months in a funny way. I realize now I was maybe trying to…

  • You can make a home wherever you go.

    Isn’t it funny how people can get hung up on logistics and details? You want a certain thing but it has to be a certain way or you won’t be happy. Everything must be prepackaged just the way you like it or it isn’t for you. Is that right? Does that even make sense? I…

  • She doesn’t mind.

    There once was a time where every single song reminded me of that time. Of that place. When I left Dublin the first time I was heartbroken. I had never had an experience like that in my life before. I had fallen so deeply in love with the place (and a particular person) without even…

  • L is for Learning.

    L is for life. L is for learning. So therefore… Life is for learning right? I think so. I am sitting here thinking about the practice that I am going to be doing in the next few minutes for a showcase this Saturday as a part of the Riverdance Summer School. It just has me thinking (apart…

  • I’ve been cooking up a storm!

    OH mannnnnnnn have I been cooking up a storm. Since #whatididforlove is over with now, I’ve been spending a lot of time hanging around the house just doing things for myself. Feeling guilty about it of course but in between pangs of guilt I’m enjoying it thoroughly lol. That is sooo lame lol sometimes I…
