I’m feeling rather empty today. I am a Head JV girl’s basketball coach and assistant to varsity in the school district I teach in. Last night, we played our third playoff game, the game to go to state, and lost. I am no stranger to this feeling. I have lived it many times before. I… Continue reading empty

my biggest decision
When I was 17 years old, I made the biggest decision of my life thus far. I might consider it my biggest decision to this day, even at 24. At 17, I decided to play college basketball at a small NCAA Division II school in northwestern Minnesota. This was a big decision for a couple… Continue reading my biggest decision
decisions
A few quotes have been heavy on my mind lately, ever since I saw one like them while surfing Pinterest. Here is the gist: “Indecision is the thief of opportunity.” “The biggest killer of dreams is indecision.” I don't know if I've every fully considered this. I've never really thought about how not doing anything… Continue reading decisions
anxiety
Anxiety is something that has plagued my life in a negative way the past two-ish years - more intensely, the last six months. However, I have experienced some form of it for most of my life, especially as I look back. I'm definitely more "prone" to it, you might say. This is probably a very… Continue reading anxiety

covid chronicles pt. 2
I think I could write a whole entire book called "The COVID Chronicles." I know this was the title to one of my recent posts, but this year has been filled with stories that could fit this title, and I think it's important that stories be told. I was a 5th year college student during… Continue reading covid chronicles pt. 2
nostalgia
Nostalgia has always been so intriguing to me. It's by far one of my favorite words. I think this is because it describes that which cannot be described. As Dwight Schrute once said, "Nostalgia is truly one of the great human weaknesses, second only to the neck." It is defined as "the state of being… Continue reading nostalgia
rain
I left the gym after practice today and headed to my car and it was raining. I knew it was supposed to rain for the entire day. For a Midwestern day in early March, that kind of a forecast is almost too good to be true. That means it has to be above 32 degrees… Continue reading rain
