Like all people, I had times where I felt like I did not fit in. I don’t fit the “norm” on what femininity should look like. Yes, I loved to play with Barbies as a child, but I also played with action figures and pretended I was a superhero. I have fond memories of being […]

Stuff I’ve written about life in general.
Chicago
Having a family history that spans pretty much one state (I’m looking at you, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania!) and the Eastern Seaboard, I never really thought much about the city of Chicago. I read about it for my history classes. I learned facts that seemed to go in one ear and then out the other about […]
Why can’t we all just get along?
America is known for being a place of freedoms. Look at the first amendment to the Constitution, where the freedom of speech, freedom of the presses, freedom to peacefully assemble, freedom to petition the government and freedom of religion are all protected, even valued as fundamental to the lives of the citizens. We have the […]
ALL means ALL!
I recently saw an article of clothing worn by an older gentleman that read “I miss the America I grew up in.” And since I am not the kind to be confrontational, especially to strangers, I did not ask what America he misses. Does he miss the America where women were not able to open […]
Be amazed and perplexed
This past Sunday was Pentecost, traditionally considered the birthday of the Christian church. For those who have heard the story countless times, it’s the day the Bible states the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples and they were given the ability to declare the “good news” to those gathered in the area in any language. […]
Geocaching
So if you follow me on YouTube or on any of my social medias, you will know that I am also an avid geocacher. I spent a good chunk of my free time in April pursuing the hobby and have a goal the rest of the year of finding at least 25 a month as […]
I tried.
I have tried my best to write a stunning blog post today about the sermon I watched online on Sunday. It’s in my drafts folder as we speak. But the words…. they just don’t seem to come well. Even I, who almost always has a constant monologue going in my head of things I should […]
Sometimes, you just feel like throwing in the towel
Thursdays are usually my days for writing what I call my “sermon reflections.” Those blog posts, often filed under “church topics,” are my takes on the sermons that are preached at the little church I attend in my tiny swath of the Midwest. But this past Sunday, while I attended church, I was also feeling […]
Selfishness
“You are being selfish.” That was something I heard said to me recently when I set a boundary. I was expected by someone to do something I didn’t want to do, and when I chose not to do it and even offered them a compromise, they lashed out and said I was a bad person […]
Taylor Swift and the Sower
I am not a Swiftie in any form. I have listened to her tracks when they come across my streaming feeds or are on the radio at work. I like a few of her songs, but I can’t say I am as fanatical as some. I also am not dissing her in any way, because […]
