Some adventures are only a pair of scissors away. This week, I got my hair chopped! Listen, if you have never cut off a large chunk of your hair before, you have not experienced the incredible catharsis that occurs. Is it due to the symbolism of hacking away years of memories and starting new? Or…
5/23- Camp I Do
“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” -L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables This past weekend was one bursting with firsts. First bachelorette party. First night spent in a pop-up camper. First pumpkin spice latte of the season. I traveled down again to Ohio, this time for my college roommate’s…
4/13- Something Serendipitous Has Occurred…
In my experience of ingesting blogs and YouTube vlogs like they are chocolate-coated, I have found that, at least once, a blogger will apologize for not holding fast to their promised posting schedule. Perhaps, my having to do the same now is a rite of passage into this community. My reason for the late weekly…
“Why Do It?”
After making the decision to travel, I was no stranger to this question. (We’re actually quite good friends now. Easily at the best-friend-bracelet stage). Don’t get me wrong, I don’t blame those who asked/objected/questioned my sanity. I did the same thing myself. After all, I had a really good thing going in Columbus. I was…

Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables I’m beginning to feel the distance of the relationships I left behind. The stretch of miles strains my heartstrings, leaving behind a sore…
The Five Things Sonographers Wish Everyone Knew
I’m going to preface this with stating that I come across these “controversies” on a weekly basis, sometimes daily. These are regular and frequent. I give people the benefit of the doubt because our field is a relatively new one in healthcare, especially as the technology and what we are able to do with it…
2/13: Contemplations on a Large Lawn
Segway tourists. Sidewalk musicians. Dogs walking their owners. Bros passing a football back and forth. Welcome to the National Mall. I totally get why people love living in D.C. It is insane how much there is to do, eat, see, and experience here. As I people-watch on the Mall’s lawn, I can’t help but wonder…
1/13: The Labor of Love
“To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other, and to feel. That is the purpose of life.” ~The Secret Life of Walter Mitty It’s been a week, ladies and gents. It has been a week. Quotes, such as the above, can sometimes be the regenerative…
“What Do You Do?”
Anyone else have one of those jobs where when you’re asked THAT question, you groan inwardly because you know the long road of breaking down your job description lies before you? *raises both hands and a foot* Don’t get me wrong, I love sharing about my job with others. I’ve known that it’s what I…
