Books. A few boxes. A prom dress. Shoes. Other miscellaneous items. These objects are scattered around my living room, and they’ve been there for over a week, nearly untouched. Recently, to complement the style of our front room, our kitchen has accumulated piles of dishes in the sink and food crumbs on the counter. TheContinueContinue reading “Cleansing Yourself: Inside & Outside”

Temple to Temple 5k Run
Over 20,000 people clustered together, following the same path: from the Provo Temple to the Provo City Center Temple. The 5k race included a wide age range, from babies in stroller to older folks with white hair and great ambition. As two young adults, my husband and I certainly did not stand out. We blendedContinueContinue reading “Temple to Temple 5k Run”
Twenty-Two
Welcome to a new age, and in six months, a new year! Supposedly, from this age on, there are little milestones left for me to look forward to. But, up until this point, there has been so many. At age 10, I hit the double-digits milestone. Then at age 13, I was officially a teenager.ContinueContinue reading “Twenty-Two”
Eyebrows
They’re either the worm or the caterpillar of the face. Slim and sometimes hardly existent, or bushy and hard to ignore. These are eyebrows. Sure, some may say, “Not all eyebrows are worms or caterpillars! Some eyebrows are in between!” I cannot blame these people for being sadly mistaken. Simply, those “middle-ground” eyebrows are eitherContinueContinue reading “Eyebrows”

The “A-” Life
Finals finish. Breathing can resume, a lull in the day becomes acceptable—welcomed even. Only a few days until the school reveals the final outcome: semester grades. As usual, at the beginning of the semester, I set my expectations high: I need all A’s. One second later, I modified my mindset: I want all A’s. TimeContinueContinue reading “The “A-” Life”
The Pit Stop House
Part Two of “Establishing My First Home” Stepping into an old family friend’s house, one I knew largely from the perspective of my adolescent years, changed my mode of functioning. The rent I payed did not make me a resident. I knew I belonged as a guest, and knew that as welcoming as the familyContinueContinue reading “The Pit Stop House”
Rushing from My Mom’s House to Home
Part One of “Establishing My First Home” I left for my 18 month mission in Canada knowing I would return home with plans. On February 14, 2019, I would fly to Missouri and reconnect with my long missed mom. Until August came, I would work, earn money, and return to a (hopefully) phenomenal physique andContinueContinue reading “Rushing from My Mom’s House to Home”
the cure refusal
If the world came down with some illness. If somehow, we all had something spread globally that could and would debilitate us…How would we handle it? Panic. Fear. Perseverance? Hope? Perhaps, we could manage if this happened. Assuming it all occurred in a fairly obvious way. But, what if it did not? What if, instead,ContinueContinue reading “the cure refusal”
what you are worth
Too many people do not realize their worth. Too many people do not know their value. Too many. The more I prepare to go to Canada, the more I realize this. I thought about how this could be, when another creature with a similar circumstance of potential came to mind. A caterpillar. A caterpillar isContinueContinue reading “what you are worth”
