I will always remember September 27th, 2010 like it was yesterday. It was the day I should have died.
All in Life
this is not what i asked for.
It's not simple to say that most days I don't recognize me. This is not what I asked for, this disease, but sometimes life just slips in through a back door and carves out a person who isn't anything like you remember. If I'm honest, I would give it all back for a chance to start over and re-write my story for the girl that I once knew.
An open letter to my past, current and future volleyball players.
I ask of you one thing: when you walk into my gym, be able to tell me what you love about this game. Remember it every time you walk through those doors and onto my court. There is no use playing this game with half your heart. Be all in, or get off my court.
must needs in life: weekend getaways.
I think we all forget that work to live, not live to work. We need to unplug and get away from our daily routines on the regular. Whether it is a quick day trip to the beach, a one-night getaway or long weekend to unwind on a beach, the mountains or in nature, we need it.
why I chose to forgive.
I deserve the kind of breathlessness that comes from a first kiss or facing a fear, not the kind where I get left behind. I don’t want to keep waiting—waiting for my phone to beep and hope to see your name on it; waiting for you to call and take back all the words you didn't say when we parted. I deserve to walk my path without looking back to see if you are following me in every step.
finding your own inspiration.

Hello 2017.
I’ve learned that life is kind of like a party. You invite a lot of people, some leave early, some stay all night, some laugh with you, some laugh at you, and some show up late. But in the end, after the fun, there are a few who stay to help you clean up the mess. And most of the time they aren’t event the ones who made the mess. These are the people that matter the most.
