For today’s Think Kit prompt, I’m using a lifeline. Sooo….”What are your top 10 favorite things from 2012?” This year has been AMAZING. Here’s why. 1. The Super Bowl in Indianapolis. All I can say is WOW. I had a great opportunity to be a part of the Huddle After Hours, featuring local and national … Continue reading

Picture This
Today’s Think Kit prompt: “If money, time or other commitments were no obstacle in 2013, what would you do?” I’ve had an ongoing love affair with photography throughout my whole life. Ever since my first photography class in high school (shout out to Mr. Daly at Carmel High School!), I knew that photography was going … Continue reading
If you learn from defeat, you haven’t really lost
“Remember your name. Do not lose hope – what you seek will be found.” -Neil Gaiman For a short period of time this year, I lost hope. A herniated disc in my lower back had me debilitated for several months during the spring, which sent me slowly down a path of depression. Not being able to sit … Continue reading
I don’t even know what this is, this sort of thing ain’t my bag, baby!
I had to use a lifeline for today’s Think Kit blog prompt. Today’s was “when was the last time you listened to someone, where, why?” I’m a talker, not a listener. I kid, I kid. But I do talk a lot. And I couldn’t think of anything blog-worthy when it came to my listening skills. … Continue reading
Go Big or Go Home
It’s hard to think about my dream trip when it’s cold and dreary outside, because it makes me want to book a flight and get to warmer weather ASAP. Having to defrost your car in the morning really makes you wonder why you don’t live on a tropical island. This year, I’ve been lucky enough … Continue reading

I won’t bore you with pictures of my turkey sandwich for lunch, but I will make you drool blogging about my dinner at The Purple Pig on Monday night. The Purple Pig is a tiny … Continue reading
Girls Just Want to Have Fun
In one week, I’m hosting a holiday get-together for a bunch of girls. Around 25 girls to be exact. I feel like I should apologize in advance to our future server for 25 separate checks and a loud room of ladies. While this seemed like a good idea when I was planning it, now that … Continue reading
There’s No Easy Road to Success
There’s no easy road to success. Well, unless you win the lottery, but I’ve heard that most of those people end up going bankrupt anyways. I’ve had my ups and downs professionally, hopping around different fields to see what I’m best at doing. I graduated college with a degree in Recreation and Tourism, with the … Continue reading
Chew on This, Indianapolis
This year and last, I was lucky enough to participate in Indiana Humanities’ event called Chew on This. In 2011, I attended the event for the first time as a live tweeter at Goose the Market for Moonshine and Morality, where we participated in a “think & drink discussion” about the legislative, political and social themes of … Continue reading
Brussels Sprouts: A Misunderstood Vegetable
I think Brussels sprouts are misunderstood. As a kid, I heard “Brussels sprouts” and wanted to gag. My mom cooked us Brussels sprouts once for dinner when I was younger and made my sisters and I eat it, although she wouldn’t even try them. It was the most horrible side dish I had ever tasted. … Continue reading
