The devil is a beautiful woman. Can you imagine being invited into a filthy living room with cracked out junkies gathered around a bag of heroin? Would you take a seat on a frayed couch next to a couple dead bodies and be ready to party? No. You would gather with the beautiful people, though,…

On the Move
Moving is FUN. Moving is JOYFUL. Moving is AN ADVENTURE. Did I mention I’m moving? I’ve been in Church Hill for five years now. I’ve loved it. I really have. However, the past year has been labeled “The One With the Crazy Roommates.” My past roommates have been either great friends or at least decent…
The One Thing
Y’all know I am all about The Goals. I have lists and quotes and Bible verses. I have books and podcasts on finance, health, simplicity, making dreams a reality, and being a better Christian, friend, co-worker, etc., ad infinitum. I think it’s important to have goals to strive for, and to always be learning and…
Sticks and Stones
Why do we care so much what people think? It starts early. I still remember vividly standing out on the huge field behind Fairfax Villa Elementary. Our fourth grade class was split into two teams for a rousing game of Capture the Flag. I was wearing a stylish purple sweat suit, and I was positioned…
Open Foot, Insert Mouth
I can think of three separate occasions on which I could have been fired. They all involve me saying something I shouldn’t have. Not on purpose, mind you. But still, out loud. The first time was years ago when I was waiting on a lesbian couple. One of them was clearly the dude in the…
Peace for the Future
AshLueb and I are doing a study on the book of Daniel. Well, she accidentally got the leader guide instead of the workbook so I’m a week ahead of her. Womp womp. In today’s lesson, Beth (we’re on a first name basis) is teaching about King Nebuchadnezzar’s prophetic dream. It made him fear for his…
Sexy and I Know It
Me, rubbing my hands together vigorously to get my “Up and At ‘Em” blend of essential oils thoroughly mixed. Brings hands to face. Gets too much citrus up the nose and starts gagging. Says to myself “You’re a peach. A peach.” Gets back in bed. I look homeless. I’m wearing fuzzy purple socks and an…
Food for Thought
I have never considered myself a hippie. I hate the smell of Patchouli and I think Birkenstocks are lesbian shoes. However, I love animals and I love eating food that’s not going to give me cancer. Therefore, I one hundred percent am trying my best to buy in a way that honors my body and…
The Magic Formula
This is what you’ve been waiting for. Friends, the wait is over! We all know I’m a big, capital- W-Weirdo when it comes to traveling. If I’ve read the temperature in Norway fluctuates between “hypothermia” and “eight layers should do ya”, there’s nor way I’m going there. It’s probably beautiful, but I’ll never know. But,…
10:21 Digital Detox
Life is unfolding all around me and I’m afraid I’m going to miss it. Social media is sucking away minutes and hours of my life I’m supposed to be living! Yesterday I logged out of Facebook on my phone so I couldn’t mindlessly start scrolling, only to realize with horror five minutes later that I’d…
