A year ago today I woke up thinking I’d spend my day as I did the day before. The place that’s flooded with flowers, tissues, hardwood floors in patient’s rooms, very good muffins, and a sadness to it that I’m sure never leaves. I had never thought that hospice would be a place that I’d…
I have officially made it through the class that was only created to destroy me. Public Speaking (SPK 208) is in the past. In high school, my favorite English teacher told me I should definitely consider taking the class that they offered. To which I laughed, replied no, and sat there confidently knowing I’d…
> The only time I’ve willingly spoken in public was during my Dad’s funeral when the thought of his casket in front of me and the life without him ahead was scarier than the 70 or so people sitting in the church and the possibility of mispronouncing Ecclesiastes. However, apparently, that technically wasn’t the…
Why post a New Year’s Post on January 2nd? Aside from me making the rules here, it’s now been 6 months- to the day- since July 2nd. I made it through six months that I wasn’t expecting to at the beginning of last year proving that a year can take you by surprise. Lots of…
If you’ve made your way to my website, there’s a very good chance you’ve met or heard of Jenny G, Jenny Lynn, the face of Your Social Media Hour, the sponsor of this website, the wonderful and powerful and beautiful woman I am now stuck with and the person I call Jen… I mean Mom.…
This post has been in the making for weeks now. It’s officially the start of the holiday season, a season that my mom was told would be the hardest. The holiday to kick it off isn’t one celebrated around the world or even just in this country. It’s to celebrate the day that one of…
There’s a fine line between a father and dad. A father is a biological term who is responsible for half of your DNA. They’re the reason you’re walking the planet and they choose whether or not to be in your life. A dad is the most important man in a child’s life. They’re the ones…
Last night, after my last shift at Rita’s, I realized that the only reason I wanted to go back to school was for a little extra quiet time and not hearing “Oh look at that, you’re on your phone” every single time I go near my phone. Other than that, I think I could’ve stuck…
And yes… I just admitted that. It’s his 20th year celebrating, and unfortunately his daughter has no more than $20. How can you be content giving someone who deserves the world, a blog post and the himalayan salt lamp he’s been asking for since his birthday back in October? I’ll let you know, it’s…
Not sure which was more iconic to celebrate yesterday. Either Jesus coming back from the dead or the fact that I actually made it to 20 years old. I mean who would’ve thought that would happen. I’m pretty sure I came back from the dead a few times too. A few weeks ago I was…
