Pretending to be perfect. Hiding my unhappiness.

I often feel like I have two versions of myself. There’s Version A, the version people seem to gravitate to.  The version people often compliment, “You’re such a bright, cheery and positive person. You’re such a good listener. You’re so easy going.”   I love when people tell me these things about Version A me!  Now […]

Women who gossip…

I sat across from my 18-year-old niece last week, as she told me her frustration with other girls talking bad about each other. “I just don’t get it,” she said, “you don’t know what they’re going through. What kind of pain they’re in. It’s easy to make judgments. I try really hard to never talk bad […]

Biking my way out of Depression

It’s March 2015, my husband’s alarm goes off. I lay in bed staring at the ceiling. I’ve just returned from two months’ home with my Mom after her first mastectomy. My day to day life helping her heal was packed.  Now I lay in bed with a cloud of depression. I finally have time to […]

Are we really all that different?

I went to Morocco a month ago. I had never been to a Muslim country before, and I’d be lying to you if I said I wasn’t a little afraid. But, as we arrived at the hotel, (one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever stayed), I walked out onto our deck and over a […]

How to not suck socially… (Japan)

Japan stole my heart for many reasons. (1): There’s a principle the Japanese people live by, which roughly translates to: “Read the air.” What does this mean? Well, when you enter a social situation it’s your job to literally “read the air,” meaning if the room feels mellow, you don’t walk in loud and aggressive. […]

#Blessed? Really?

I felt emotional after spending ten days with family and friends wrapping their arms around me, in celebration of my up-coming nuptials. The amount of love and kindness I received was overwhelming. I couldn’t help, but feel “Do I deserve all this?” I truly wanted to post #blessed everywhere, don’t worry I avoided the urge, […]
