First, thank you all so much for your encouraging words yesterday. It took every ounce of strength I had to post that, and your supportive comments mean the world to me. So in the spirit of vulnerability and in honor of Brené Brown, I thought I’d write about what happened after I posted that yesterday. […]
Return Evil with Compassion
I’m sure most of you are aware of the Steubenville rape case. If you’ve watched TV or been on the internet at all in the past week, surely you’ve seen it. I first heard about it when my friend Carley posted an article about CNN’s coverage of the case and how they seemed to be […]
Fighting with Vulnerability
I’ve been slacking a bit here at Soliloquy this week. Can’t believe it’s been over a week since my last post! I will be honest, I’ve been having a terrible fight with Vulnerability. She’s been popping up saying “Write about this!” and I’m all like, “No!! That’s too personal! What if so and so sees […]

Two-Year Wedding Anniversary!
Dear Spirit: Thank you for true, deep love. Love that stands by each other despite all hardships. Love that encourages and doesn’t tear down. Love that allows for silliness and lots of laughter.

Well, still struggling. I can’t believe it’s Friday already (AND March 1st!!). Weeks seem to […]

RIP Geckie and Welcome Draco
Our sweet little gecko died on Tuesday. I’m not exactly sure what happened. I just don’t think he was getting nourished right. He was still a baby when we got him, so we knew he may not make it. I was so so sad over this little guy. For reals. Cried off and on […]
Letting Go of Obstacles and CLAIMING My Good!
I’ve been trying to write this book for two years now, and my reason for it not happening has always been “I don’t have enough time.” It was my failsafe excuse that made me feel better about not pursuing my dreams. I wasn’t to blame…Lack of time was to blame. Well here I am […]
Good People of the World, Unite!!
I’m starting this blog because I feel like I’ve come to that point in life where I’ve realized I’m the grown-up. I’m the adult. I’m the one who’s supposed to be reading the news, keeping up to date on things. I’m the one who is supposed to be lobbying policies to Congress and serving my […]
