Ideas, thoughts, and musings loading…

I’m a big journal person. I’ve kept a consistent, personal journal since I was in high school. It’s always been so cathartic for me to write and process my thoughts. I’m also a big fan of deep thinking while running alone — which I do a lot (well, not as many solo miles anymore. It’s not a bad thing to marry your running buddy and share most miles together!).

On these runs where big thoughts come to me, I feel like I’m solving all of my and the worlds problems! The catch is I forget the thoughts as soon as I finish the run. I still work and rework the ideas I have down on paper till they make sense. Most of my thoughts contain musings on art and creativity, running, nature, myself as a growing person, my future, and the world around me. I also make grocery lists in my head pretty often, too. I forget all the items as you can imagine.

So, after one of my good friends who is also an artist and runner, Katie Kammer, told me she was getting off social media and using her website to post her adventures, I was inspired. I’ve never been great sharing a lot about myself on social media. That’s not a bad thing, at all! People can be pretty weird with that info, ya know? But, I feel inspired to share my thoughts on what it’s like to be an artist and athlete — something I DREAMED about as a kid and NEVER thought could come true.

I want to inspire others to take their dreams seriously and maybe give some tips and advice as well as learning more about myself. I’m going into this with low expectations but just giving it a shot. That’s how all good things start, right?

I hope you enjoy my ideas, thoughts, and other musings. Stay tuned for more!

Cheers! Xoxo,
