Friday Five: It’s the Audacity for Me!

We made it to Friday and I cannot wait to kick things off with a story that I’ve spent way too long thinking about. This story has it all: the audacity of white men, better known as caucasity, civil unrest, and a reminder that the best and brightest were not in DC last week.

Daydreaming About Consistency, My Word of the Year

While I’m not big on New Year’s resolutions, I do try to think of a word of the year or theme to work on. I find that having this broader option allows me to give myself some grace and create attainable goals that fit to outside circumstances. (See last year’s word of the year for a great example of this!)

One week into the new year and I’m already questioning myself about this choice, but it’s also been a reminder that choosing a word is better than setting concrete goals.

Friday Five: Dark Start to the New Year, Good News, and Binge Watching

What a week. I had every intention of getting a couple blog posts up this week and they did not want to happen. On what can be described only as an unprecedented start to the new year, it’s hard for me to dive into the more frivolous things. But I wanted to share the things I’m loving right now in hope that they may be a happy distraction for you too.

Girl Bye! 2020 in Review

We are quickly approaching the end of the tumultuous year known as 2020 and I am ready to say, ‘Girl bye!’ to it. But before we do say goodbye, it’s time for the annual year in review post.

Girl Bye! 2020 in Review | Virginia Blogger

This was a strange year in many ways but for me personally, I dealt with some anxiety over when I’d be moving and starting a new full time job on top of the other chaos. Blogging was for sure something that I put in the backseat and I honestly think this is the least I posted both to my blog and Instagram since I launched almost six years ago.

Writing this end of year blog post feels a bit weird because in some ways this year doesn’t feel ‘complete’ and yet I feel very checked out of 2020 at the same time. Anyways, all that to say: if you feel like the ending of this year is somewhat anticlimactic — me too.
