Forever my favorite wedding date! Congratulations to #meganandsteven we are so glad we could be a part of your day!
It may feel like the holidays are already in full swing, but today is still just the first Friday in December, which means we have a few more weeks of celebrations and festivities to enjoy. If you’re already feeling burned out from holiday shopping and errands, it is not too late to reevaluate how you’re getting into the Christmas spirit. • Read my 5 tips for a mindful and merry holiday season on the blog today, including two awesome gift ideas! (Link in my bio) • #mywarriorproject #mindfulnessblogger #mentalhealthblogger #intention #christmas #merryandbright
Oh the life they lead. I love these two fur balls with all my heart. They make us more than a couple, but a family. They make our house a home and our nights a party. I kiss them both before I leave for work every morning, and they’re waiting for me when I get home. • My best friend says they’re the best teachers of unconditional love, and she’s right. They also teach me patience and remind me how much joy is in this world. • Our little family is my favorite part of my life! • #mywarriorproject #christmasdogs #dogsofinstagram #littlebrosimba #imnalamutt #mindfulness
December is a lot of things, but I don't usually think of this season as "simple." We aren't "simply" having a wonderful Christmas time, are we? If it were simple there wouldn't be travel logistics to figure out, grocery shopping lists to fret over, gifts to wrap, rooms to clean, lights to untangle, family to fight with.... • If it were simple, would it even really be Christmas time? • I'm saying yes this Christmas. To playful adventures, silly nights out, overdone decorations, holiday baked goods, and anything else that comes my way. I am saying yes because I want to this Christmas season to be more full of love, laughter and good memories than any holiday before. I am saying yes because there are always reasons to say no: time, money, anxiety, planning...but I'm always happier when I say yes. • #mywarriorproject #mindfulnessblogger #mentalhealth #christmastime
Rain didn’t ruin our fun on the Christmas tree lot, here’s hoping it doesn’t ruin the game tonight! #gosteelers • #mywarriorproject #stayingbusy #justkeepswimming #christmas
I spend a lot of time thinking about punctuation. Especially in an age where we depend heavily on written (typed) words for communication, how you treat words and punctuation can make a real difference. • Hear me out. Which one of these texts would you want to get in response to a holiday photo: A. “Oh, what fun!!!!” B. “Oh. What? Fun.” C. “Oh, what fun...” • Tell me you didn’t feel the condescending tone when you read option C!?! • Yes, this is the kind of fascinating noise that exists inside my brain!💗 • #mywarriorproject #authenticity #writersofinstagram #writer #nerd #bookworm #injf #ohwhatfun #christmas #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthblogger #mindfulness #mindful #pittsburghblogger
A girl’s best friend. • • #mywarriorproject #imnalamutt #dogsofinstagram PC 📷 @lisa.coe
As a child, most of our connections are built in. We go to school, where we are connected with our classmates. We play sports, where we are connected with our teammates. If you go to church, the connection is built in through things like coffee hour and Sunday School. As you grow up, these institutions pad your journey and provide friendships without much effort. From homecoming dances to gym classes, most social engagement was pre-packaged at least until you finished school. • As I neared my college graduation, I was bombarded with talk of “the real world,” and I was unsure what that really meant. Surely, the world I was living in at the time was real. What I wish others had told me instead, is “your social life is in your hands now, and making friends is hard when you’re a grown up.” If only someone could explain this, and teach 20-somethings how to make friends outside of our comfortable educational structures. • So for me, connection is a little bit of work, but it has huge rewards. As an introvert, I have to balance my innate need to stay home and rest, with my desire for more soulful connections with like-minded humans. • Read more on the blog today!

With you, I’m always at home. • Our family and friends are spread all over the country: California, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Texas, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Florida, Georgia, New Hampshire, and more. So at the holidays, there’s always a certain amount of deciding and dividing that has to happen, but so long as I have this guy by my side my days are full of joy. • To all of those we couldn’t be with, I love you. To those who filled our holiday with laughs, potatoes, and red wine, thank you! • #mywarriorproject #loveyourself #happinessfirst #depressionrecovery #anxietyrelief #mentalhealthwarrior #writer #warrior #mentalhealthblogger #mindfulnessblogger #beawarriornotaworrier #thanksgiving #mindfulness
