Time for an update 2/3/18
I am a graphic designer by day and quit being a sassy bartender on the weekends. I do enjoy staying busy but now instead I spend time for self-care and trying to find...me. I'm now busy in a more healthy way.
I was diagnosed with C-PTSD from a past life experience and not quite ready to tell that part of my story yet but my hope is tap more into my creativity whether it be cooking, journaling, writing short stories or drawing. Scattered-brained is how I feel and I will try very hard to keep this personal blog as organized as possible…but no promises.
My journey so far has been filled with ups and downs and I'm working on getting more ups even when the downs are still there. Join me. I hope that you enjoy reading, find some inspiration and possibly help me do the same.
Thanks for reading, liking and following. It doesn't go unnoticed!

Just a few minutes ago I was thinking about how quickly we judge complete strangers as either good or bad…

I tell my kids that ignorance isn’t an excuse to judge others. Try to see from their point of view.

Good thoughts. I’ve definitely thought a lot about that. I like to think people give other people I chance but I’m not sure how true that is. As someone who dresses a little oddly (because wearing t-shirts and jeans is weird for women nowadays, I like to be comfortable), I’ve gotten some random and scary looks from strangers.
There was a professor once that mentioned my colored dreads off-hand like “what are you doing in a science major?” which made me feel kind of terrible. Needless to say I didn’t go in for help again all semester. Can’t I like art and express myself while still appreciating the ordered and beautiful nature of science?
Dunno, you’d think someone smart enough to earn a PHD like that professor would understand not to judge books by their covers.

You’re not the only one that wears Tees and jeans…then I add my 80’s geek side of chucks but at least I’m confortable when the sheep around me are dying to conform to the idea of normalcy.
Sometimes the most educated individuals doesn’t have the sense that God gave a goose when it comes to understanding other indiviuals, accepting or judging. 🙂
