I live a life of privilege,
A life many do not know
I wake up every morning in a warm bed
I shower with hot water and “fancy soap”
I own $50 foundation and a $20 dollar brush to put it on with

Inconsistency
You know those songs that really speak to how you feel at that exact moment? Well, this morning at 1:34 am, Gavin sang this song to me. I don’t think I could blog about this any better. There is so much confliction and inconsistency in my life and his words speak it beautifully! Thank you [...]
Here comes the…guilt?
As I drive home from Atlanta my mind always wanders. Recently my mind has been constantly thinking about money. The recession has this way of making EVERYTHING about money.

I was in a special education classroom that had two main teachers. As such, the second teacher did most of the work while I observed my surroundings. I realized a rather [...]
Substitute Teaching Prep
So the past couple of weeks I have been going through the motions of preparing to substitute teach. I have learned a lot (shockingly enough) from my few short trainings but I am excited. The nerves will of course come very very soon, I have not doubt about that. Know you may ask (or you [...]

Everyone is telling you to be better, to be skinnier, to look prettier, to be a better Christian. They tell you [...]
Family
I’ve been thinking a lot about my birth family. Sometimes it is really crazy to think that I have two sister somewhere in this world. I wonder if they knew about me…if they remember me…if they think about me? Do they want to find me like I want to find them?Do they wonder if we [...]
