The random shit that rattles around in your brain!


    I cannot stress this enough. DO. NOT. BE. ME. Take your goddamn Christmas decorations down! 

 

    The last few days I’ve spent taking down all of my holiday decor and my GOD, why do I have so fucking much?! 

 

    It always brings me so much happy around the holidays, the air literally shifts and just feels warmer, even though I’m in Michigan and it’s ten out of ten colder. Snowflakes hitting my face and breathing it into my lungs is like a cleanse, it fills in the white noise and gives the world a cold blanket of beauty. If you asked me, fall is my favorite season of all time, but I love Christmas and how it shifts my little world. 

 

    I am notorious for leaving my decorations up until mid January and I wont lie, it’s been longer before! I just take them down when I am so friggen sick of looking that them that I want to puke! We’ve officially hit that point, so down they went! 

 

    So I repeat myself, DON’T BE ME! I am working on it, okay? Rome wasn’t built in a day! 

 

    Okay, so this week, I’ve cleansed the house of Christmas Decor AND I've gotten rid of like 100 pounds of clothes (probably not that many, but it feels that way!) 

 

    I reorganized my boxing area and added some gym mats to reduce the noise, because when I’m beating the hell out of it, she rattles! “Not fragile like a flower, fragile like a bomb!” So I can officially cross that off my list! 

 

    Getting rid of the clutter and the things that no longer serve me and organizing is literally so relieving! Like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders! Am I the only weird one who gets such gratification from the simple act of throwing shit away and organizing? Probably! 

 

    If only I could organize my thoughts like I organize my underwear drawer, I’d be unstoppable! (I’m working on that too!)

     

    I am slowly but surely writing more and more each day! It’s a process, if you’re a writer, you know that half the time you think what you write is complete garbage! You HAVE to resist hitting the dreaded delete button. The edit is where you can fix things and I always find that even if it’s not the exact way that I wanted it, it’s close and only needs some tweaks. 

 

    Writing is a crazy process and I applaud any person who chooses it as their profession, we’re mad fucking crazy! It is however worth it when you finish work that you actually love (do I ever love anything I write? NO! But, I’m satisfied!)

 

    Anyway, welcome to the clutter rolling around in my brain today! Enjoy your Saturday! 

 

XOXO

Cookie Era!

Image
  Listen, I’m in my cookie era! Here’s what I did! I made a double batch, scooped them and placed them on parchment paper to keep them separated. Placed them in freezer bags and then froze the second batch. That way I have chemical free cookies ready to take out of the freezer whenever I want and bake fresh! This way I can bake 2 if I want instead of making up a whole batch.

My Manic...

Image
     I have been stressing myself out lately about perfection. I can’t share anything I do unless I know it’s perfect. It’s probably going to give me an ulcer.       I decided today that I didn’t need perfection.      It’s not about that. I mean I’ve always known that but I am so unbelievably hard on myself that I allowed those feelings to creep in and attack my inner peace!        I haven’t felt that manic in about a year! So it was definitely something that I had to take care of right away! I almost forgot that my manic was an emotional response to stress.          I was being unappreciative of my own strengths, too hard on my personal weaknesses and turning a blind eye to my mental state.       I called it quits yesterday and decided to do absolutely nothing all day to let my brain rest and recover from my own abuse. Until inspiration hit and I decided to DOODLE.  ...

Ditch Kitty!

Image
  It’s been awhile since I’ve had an update on my little rescued ditch kitty! Sirius is thriving! he came to me at 1.5 pounds soaking wet and he’s up to 7.5 pounds now! Which is perfectly in line for his age! He’s all up to date on his vaccinations and he doesn’t have to go back for another year! (Unless he needs to!) His personality can only be described as wildly unpredictable and entertaining! His favorite things are wet food, cucumbers and pull tabs from my almond milk and playing nonstop!
