Hate. Tragedy. Loss. I am grief stricken, and honestly I don’t believe I have a unique perspective to offer. I do, though, have reflecting to do. This weekend, the city of Pittsburgh underwent attack when an armed man entered Tree of Life Synagogue in the midst of a service, and opened fire. He killed 11 …
A Glance at My Truth
I have been told it seems like I have my life totally together. I’m here to clear that up. I see what you see: I’m 26, newly married, with two sweet dogs and a beautiful little home. I have a great job and space to practice my hobbies. What could be better? Here’s what you …
Something I know to be true.
When it comes to faith, there are far more uncertainties than strongholds, but there is something I know to be true.
Feminine Feature: Alyssa Kuzins
Moving to a new city, there are a lot of unknowns. When I graduated from college in 2014, I followed my then boyfriend (now husband) to Atlanta. I had a good job there, and we were happy, but I didn't find the friendships or community connections I needed. After just shy of two years there, …

Today, on a tumultuous day for all Americans, we need to remember what matters most. We can't control everything, we can hardly control anything, but we can control ourselves and our own actions.

After I post on my blog, or upload something new to Instagram, I always click through the posts with the same hashtags I used. At first, I think I did this to get more attention on social media. Now, I do it for inspiration. To see what other creative spirits are putting out into the …
Flying Solo
Last night, I went on the best first date I've been on in years...except it was with 29 other women, no men, and instead of dinner and movie, we made succulent terrariums at an all natural beauty and skin-care shop in Lawrenceville. I know, best date ever. I was supposed to meet Aaron's sister there, …
Filling in the Circle
Going through The Desire Map process was therapeutic, and really tied together a lot of pieces for me. Last Fall I participated in Seth Godin's altMBA program, where we pushed ourselves and our peers to dive deep and find our "why." We analyzed our actions and our goals, and dreamed about what we could …
