Stand-Up Paddleboarding!

Okay so finally after whining all summer about wanting to try stand-up paddle boarding I went. The results are in and the verdict is . . . DING DING . . . a success! I thought I was going to fall super ungracefully in the river and come up spitting out all the gooey river plants but to my surprise…

#MOE #MoneyOverEverything

As a kids we learned MOB. Money over bitches. Easy, all day. I don’t spend money on men. Especially if he’s not my boyfriend and we aren’t in any joint ventures! Last time I check, it was hail to the v, not the d. Don’t care. Then Drake switched it up to MOE. Money over everything. That’s where I am…

The Power of a #Smile

So I today I worked in my new job/career that required me to smile and talk to people ALL DAY LONG. As an archaeologist I didn’t have to do any of that before. I just showed up at the crack of dawn, went out into the field, dug my holes and honestly you could work 12 hours not talking. I…

#HumbleBeginnings: Student of #life

As a student of life I realized that anything and everything is a teacher. You can literally learn so much from everyone and every encounter you experience in your day to day life. There’s an art to observation and that’s only half of the process. The other half is the analysis on the things you have taken in with all…

All The Worlds A Stage…

Again I have walked out of another acting class with a profound thought that affected my views on life. So tonight we had discussed the whole process of developing a character. Who is this person? What happened to them before the present? What are they doing now? What are their motivations? What does everyone think of them? How do these…

Prep. Plan. FAIL . . .

Preparation is key. Sometimes. A lot of the time. Many events require planning. In fact a good plan is essential in many situations. Now I’m known to be pretty spontaneous but there are some events that need to be planned in advance. Things that would be cheaper if bought sooner, travelling abroad would need advance notice and reservations need to be made to ensure…

Completely Present, Right Now

Recently in this drastic life change, I have decided to take acting classes. For me, acting has always been something I enjoyed doing and participating in. When I was younger I used to be more active in that sort of activity but I was always type-casted in the more bitchy or evil roles. It has to be my resting bitch…

Moving On And Letting Go

So to save money on moving, I am physically packing everything myself. Being an army brat I never had to worry about that. Why? There was always compensation and movers. Then when I did move out in college I didn’t take any of my furniture so up until now my stuff has been collecting dust in same room for about…

#Kayaking: Rowing for #Summer #Fun!

So in the spirit of summer fun, I have recently met someone who has never gone kayaking. WHAT? Kayaking is super fun. The kayak is similar to the canoe but you are lower in the water and there is only one paddle stick that has a paddle on each end. You can ride tandem, with someone else, or by yourself.…

Forgiveness Will Set You Free!

One of the hardest things for me to do is forgive. Forgive and forget. I know that’s what we are supposed to do but that doesn’t make it easy. Walking around with anger and grudges is like carrying around a baby elephant on your back. There will be a breaking point for you and all you are doing is building…
