Simplicity is not less. It is the essentials, it is the right amount, it is about balance. After moving out of our 1200 square foot apartment with a one car garage into a 650 square foot upstairs apartment with no garage. You quickly realize the amount if unnecessary stuff we hold on to.

Caring for Creation our Christian Responsibility
God didn't create this Earth & us, people, to watch us destroy Her creation and each other. God didn't call us to 'dominion' over the earth to ruin it, to suck the very life out of it, to cause climate change, or kill the most vulnerable through our greed and selfishness. We are failing this [...]
Self-Love
I’ve talked about self-care and self-talk in the past but self-love is different. It harnesses both self-care and self-talk into a perspective that views oneself as loved and valuable outside the cultural means of success and value. So before we talk about self-love & how to self-love, let’s backtrack to self-care and self-talk and how [...]
Balance in 2022
What does balance look like to you? For me, I am looking to be less of a workaholic in 2022, embrace more white space, say no when I just need to rest, and find room in my day-to-day to take care of me. One way I started finding more room to rest in 2021 was [...]

According to The Fashion Law; Greenwashing is a term that was coined in the 1980’s by environmentalist Jay Westerveld, who saw the inconsistency in hotels that did not employ concrete recycling programs but encouraged the reuse of [...]
Mindfulness | Summer Social Media Break
Summer Break doesn’t hit home the way it did when I was enrolled in school. It’s basically more of the same, plus the heat and being jealous of everyone’s vacation photos. So, this year for the summer, I tried to take a break from social media or at least spend less of my time making [...]
Mindfulness | Longterm Friendships
June 8th was Best Friends Day or something like that. Honestly, it was the rest of social media that reminded me that it was a special day! The biggest revelation to me post-college was that making friends as an adult is so different. When you are in school and even as a kid you tend [...]
May is Mental Health Awareness Month
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, as the spouse to someone who suffers from mental health illness, this month is an important one to me.
