1. All is well. How cool is it that I can say that as the very first thing?
2. "The most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself.  And if you can find someone to love the you that you love, well that's just fabulous."
3. In regards to #2, who knew that Sex and the City held such profound knowledge?
4. In love with Young the Giant's new stuff. 
5. The best part of my internship is figuring out what I like and what I don't like and what I want and what I don't want in the future. Likes: writing and photography. 
6. Considering making my own Kombucha. 
7. Had the best time ever this past weekend dancing on a dock at 3am with my best friend. 
8. In the market for a gold, crescent moon necklace. 
9. I'm currently reading Jesus the King by Tim Keller and I am really enjoying it. Perhaps another post on my favorite chapters and personal connections coming later. 
10. I can't believe that I'm going to Firefly Music Festival for the THIRD year in a row soon. I have easily spent over $1,000 in total on these festivals but there is no other way I would want to spend it. I can't wait to dance and spin. I have goosebumps now.

  1. The best part about being a delivery driver is seeing the crystal clear night sky with its piercingly bright stars during the early morning hours.
  2. I miss my mommy (and I know she will read this so hi mom). 
  3. I can tell a difference in my yoga practice and how I have improved with vinyasa. It's awesome.
  4. It's amazing how much more focused and motivated I am when I am crazy busy.  
  5. Recently I feel like I have been balancing my friendships in a way.  It's something that I've never had to do before and something that is actually quite exhausting.  I think I just need to figure out how to "balance" because all of these people are important to me.  
  6. I am in love with this video.  It is so important and speaks to the heart. "A person is a person because of people."
  7. I need this necklace.  Just another reminder to be present and be peaceful.
  8. Loving purple mascara. 
  9. Seeing all these students walking around at math and business expos makes me realize what I want and what I don't want in a job.  I don't want to be a business suit clone and I don't want to work in a cubicle.  But what if that's where I have to be? 
  10. I've been looking to God so much more recently.  I have truly felt his presence a few times and my thoughts tend to turn towards him and my religion more often then they used to.  It's great.

The original idea to write a post like this comes from Hummusbird. She is a goddess and has a natural knack for blogging, writing, creating, and inspiring. My posts will not do her idea justice but I believe this is a perfect time to reflect, write, dream, write, create, and write. 

 1. I'm trying to learn how to better control my anxiety.  As school approaches (and I still have weeks until I move back) I'm getting more and more anxious everyday.  Meditation seems to be the only dimmer for these feelings right now.

2. I miss working out. Nannying, working, and wisdom teeth surgery has put exercising on the back burner and it's killing me.  AKA it's killing my fitness.

3. Mug cakes have won my heart completely.

4. I can't stop dreaming of the apartment that I want/will have one day. One day.

5. I'm learning more about patience than ever before.  Please note I am learning and not quite being. Yet. It's a process.

6. I'm dying to get back on the Appalachian mountains and all their glory.

7. This necklace is everything.  Simplistic, silver, and a reminder to just breathe. I want it.

8. My body has been craving tea like never before.

9. Fleet Foxes sing to my soul.

10. I have found some sort of peace in writing this.
