Let me preface this by saying this is going to ruffle some feathers. With that being said, I am going to be incredibly vulnerable in this post. If you feel triggered, I encourage you to ask yourself why, then reposition your stance toward empathy. This is mostly for my daughters, who, every day, I am…

I’m sitting here in the most opposite side of the world watching tragic news pour in from the States today. Shootings. A school in Colorado and Charlie Kirk. What is going on? Why? Who? Everyone wants answers. The easy answer is to point fingers, which, unfortunately, I am seeing the most of. I was going…

Another day, another update. Today’s post is not nearly as angsty/emo as my last post. As I have said before and will say one more time, moving is hard. It pulls your emotions around like a ’90s rom-com. I am not going to say this too loud, but I think we are finding our groove,…

Deployment. What is the first thought that pops into your head when you hear that word? Time. Sadness. Scared. Lonely. Hard. Adjustment. Curiosity. Familiarity. Uncomfortableness. Anxiety. Stress. Overwhelmed. I could go on for days. Truth be told, all of those feelings happen durning deployment. It may happen through days, hours, minutes, hell… even seconds. You…

It’s not a secret that Japan was not the top place on my list of places I wanted to live. In fact it never really was. When we found out we were moving here I had a full on panic attack. Im talking head between the knees, call my momma in a panic, holy shit…

When you become a parent, no one provides you with a handbook on how to raise this tiny human you just took 10 months growing. There is no step by step picture book. There are no neon lights flashing in arrows pointing down a path that says “This way to the right path!”. Honestly every…
