I fell on my butt last week, I'll admit it. I didn't want this to be my Wednesday post.

Making (Fitness) Plans
I'm sure none of you really noticed, but I spent the last week mostly off the grid. By that I mean I was totally on the internet constantly, I just stopped blogging after Monday and didn't post a video. I've been very honest about the fact that I've been struggling with my anxiety, and I've … Continue reading Making (Fitness) Plans
Uniquely You
You are the only you. It's been said many times in many ways, but I'm going to say it again: there is no one else who is better at being you.

Forever & Always
Dear John, It's been a while, huh? I guess it can be pretty easy to lose track of time. How have you been? I hope you've been well. I'm sorry I left when I did, I just needed to get out of that town, I hope you can understand. Didn't you used to talk about … Continue reading Forever & Always
