I try not to be one of those aggressive vegans. You know, the super judgmental, overbearing, Peta-subscribed kind that literally only speaks vegan. And I know at one point I probably was that damn pretentious, so please, charge it to my head not my heart. Now, I try to be cautious and only mention being …
A Poem: Music x Poetry
April is #NationalPoetryMonth. I've enjoyed seeing fellow writers on my feed sharing their new, and even old work. I've always been attracted to the idea of poetry. It wasn't until I gave it a try I grew as a person. Poetry helped me realize less is more. I mean, it wows me when I can …
I Usually Don’t Kiss and Tell…
Now that the smooch is out the bag, many have asked what it was like shooting my first commercial... Back in November I walked into my casting ready to give a few pecks to some man unknown. A little nervous to be kissing a stranger without liquid courage, (judge yourself, not me) I surveyed the …
Hashtag: New Year Evolved Me
How am I transitioning into 2018? Pretty darn well I'd say! As I sat in the house on Sunday, December 31, 2017 contemplating whether I'd switch up my New Year's Eve ritual and go out for a night on the town, or do what I know best and stay in, I soon was in a …
Being an Empath: the Hardest Part is Letting Go
Human relations are key. Whether you have the ability to effectively communicate--verbally or nonverbally-- determines how well you connect with others. As a healing empath, I read into what's unsaid more, than what people actually say. Because of this, I'm always finding a way to help solve a problem as if it's my own. Whether …

Dear Denver: You Did Me Well
I recently talked about my new found love for hiking. I know, it's just extended walking--usually at an incline-- however, its a great workout and brings peace of mind. I've always loved nature and outdoors. I collected rocks for crying out loud! In fact, growing up, I'd always rush outside every chance I got. I …
What I Learned While Brunchin’ With Jas’
I loooveeeeeee free things! Free coffee, free meals, free concert tickets--you name it! So when Jasmine Diane announced one last giveaway to Brunchin' with Jas I instantly became geeked. So, why did I desire to attend the fall Brunchin with Jas? Isn't it obvious? I saw this brunch as an opportunity to network with like-minded …
Let’s Talk — Body Language
Mantra: I'm here. I'm safe. I'm calm. I will listen. In the age of countless self-help posts, books, and YouTube channels it's unlikely that you would be without said "help". Whether you're searching for ways to eat better, workout consistently, or just accept yourself for who you are--the content is there. After countless hours of …
Hashtag: Quarter Century Living
A friend asked me what #quartercenturyliving means and why I always say it. At first I laughed, because I wasn't really sure. But as time passed and stories arose I figured it out. To sum it up, #quartercenturyliving for me and my friends is a way of not getting caught up in time-sensitive goals that …
Redirected Reconciliations: Part Two
Generally speaking, most of us would feel this underlying need to forgive a parent in their exceeding absence. We'd accept their minimal, sporadic attempts at communicating with us-- their child. And those around us expect us--the child-- to overlook our insecurities. Overlook our hurt. Overlook our anger. Even overlook our longing. We'd allow these strangers into our …
