Woah. Why am I about to talk about this?Because it affects everything. I’m no neuroscientist, but basically from what I’ve read your brain has connections and pathways. Some are so worn, the way you’ve thought for your whole life, that when a new little thought forms, it slides right down without even thinking, splashing in…

27. Writer. Photographer. Life is a beautiful adventure of seeking God and knowing Him more. Winter is especially capturing my heart right now. I love wearing big furry-hooded coats and colorful mittens to play in the snow. Thankful for grace.
Confidence: fake it until you make it
Alright, sista. Get your mean face on. I used to laugh when I would realize how differently I walk down the street in Quito, Ecuador, a city of three million people where I stick out like a sore thumb versus how I am in the town I grew up in. I look rude. I’m not…
Fun ways to bring exercise into your day
I’m no expert, but here’s a few thoughts in the midst of my current adventure of weightlifting at the gym… Dance party Okay, we seriously underestimate the power of five minutes. Pick one song that you love, it’s probably 3-4 minutes long. NOTHING can get in the way of these 4 minutes. Trust me, nothing…

My skinny girl bulking program so-to-speak, really just with the goals of having more energy and being stronger and healthier. And I’m loving it. Though it can be…

Adventures at home – back at the gym – week one
Day one was rough. It felt terrible. I don’t know why, but walking in to the gym just felt like I was a fake, someone who didn’t belong trying to pretend like I belonged. I used to love the gym so it felt strange to feel this way. Convinced everyone was staring at me and…
Adventures at home – weightlifting
I’m a skinny girl. The pro is that I have never struggled with overweightness. The con is that I have often struggled with having enough strength to make it through basic life activities. So finally, I had enough. I am a dancer (cardio has always been the easier part of fitness for me) and just…
Beware of the street food
Street food at your own risk. There’s something about those people who try everything, never worry, and never get sick. You know what I mean? They take every risk in the books and nothing happens so it only emboldens them to take more risks. They’re gonna eat the street food, love it, and be fine….
Safety
(This is the start of a safety series of various thoughts I will be hashing out the next few weeks…) Something could happen to you anywhere, even at home, and tons of people travel all the time to other countries and have nothing but wonderful experiences. What it really comes down to is this: is…
