Sometimes life isn’t fair. No sugar coating, no rainbows. It just isn’t fair. Someone else gets the job, someone else wins the lotto. Friends change, marriages fail, life moves on. Sometimes life just isn’t fair. And that’s why I love sports. Hear me out. Sports are an escape. A chance...
A friend of mine recently asked me if I was writing anymore as she noticed I have been absent from my blog and social media. I replied. “I am, I’m just busy”, but as the conversation moved on, I felt a little pang in my heart. You see, I hate...
So what did I do this summer? Well, since I gave up social media, I took a trip down memory lane to the good old days. I stopped caring about what everyone else was doing and I simply lived life, scroll free, more present, less anxious and less picture perfect....
