  • Monday 5: Self-compassion & other things I’m excited about

    This weekend was another action filled one with both family on my side and on Nicholas’ side in town. After a quick trip to Sullivan’s Island with the Cundiffs, my brother, my sister, her boyfriend and I all picked up my dad from the train station and had dinner together. The next morning my brother…

  • Monday 5: Obedience & other things I’m excited about this week

    This weekend included the first lazy Saturday I’ve had in a while and it was amazing. We also got drinks with friends Friday evening, I had my first bachelorette party Saturday night and yesterday we paddle boarded all the way to Shem Creek! It took us a couple of hours, between the ride there, the drink…

  • Monasteries & other things I’m excited about this week

    Happy Monday! This week is finally starting to feel like Fall in Charleston and I’m so excited. I feel like I can start to actually do Fall things and wear Fall clothes without feeling silly. This weekend we celebrated the first cooler weather with a bonfire and s’mores, so fun! Yesterday we ventured out to a…

  • Monday 5: Fall & other things I’m excited about this week

    Happy Monday! I hope this weekend was lovely and restful. I certainly got a lot of sleep which was wonderful! We also caught up over dinner with some friends Saturday evening and yesterday I got to go to the Fun Nun bowl fundraiser which was a great time. I also went to one of my…

  • Monday 5: Surprise parties & other things I’m excited about this week

    I know in a lot of places today isn’t a great day…so many storms doing so much damage! Here in Charleston we are getting a tiny bit of Hurricane Irma, it’s stormy and windy and the power has already cut out once. Praying for all those areas that have been so seriously affected! That being…

  • Monday 5: Salsa dancing & other things I’m excited about this week

    Happy Monday! It’s another rainy one here in Charleston…definitely going to need some extra enthusiasm to make it through the day. This weekend we had some good times meeting up with friends, beach bumming and spending time with my family. We made it to brunch at a spot called Butcher and Bee downtown Charleston which…

  • Monday 5: Baseball & other things I’m excited about this week

    This weekend was another fun one in Charleston. It was nice to be back home since last weekend I was out of town visiting family. On Friday we met up with some of Nicholas’ residency friends at a spot called Cooper River Brewery. It had a laid back environment with cement floors inside and some…

  • The ‘safe space’ we actually need

    I remember the first time I came across a ‘safe space’ on a college campus. While I had read and heard of these before, it felt a somewhat surreal to come across one in real life; it took seeing one in person to realize that this is something that is really happening…not just a story…

  • Unoffendable: The importance of living in truth in a culture of offense

    Unoffendable: The importance of living in truth in a culture of offense

    As a general rule, we’re not nice in our family. Snide remarks and brutal honesty prevail, and if you receive a compliment, it’s probably sarcastic (‘you’re a genius’ is one I get pretty frequently). Being sensitive, this dynamic caused me a lot of angst growing up. Storming off to my room in tears was not…

  • High Standards: why I have them and why you should too

    I’m going to go ahead and give you the key takeaway from this post: You should have high standards for yourself, your relationships, your career and your life because you deserve them. I just saved you five more minutes of reading; so, you’re welcome. Here’s the deal: high standards and being a perfectionist are NOT…
