I think any pet owner would agree with me in saying that one of the hardest parts of losing your pet is coming home to the traces of them. For me, the morning after Molly left me, seeing her water bowl was heartbreaking. So, I did what I do best, and transformed it into something beautiful that I can see everyday upon waking.

Molly has been in my life for the past 14 years. But for the past 5 years, she’s been my life.
I remember a year after moving to Nashville, marveling at the fact that I alone had kept her alive. That I had fed her & walked her & that she depended on me. But really, during that time, she was keeping me alive. The year I brought Molly to Nashville was one of the most isolating experiences of my life — moving across country, knowing almost no one, and starting law school. But every day, after class, I’d return home to my shoebox apartment & she’d be there. & she’d always be able to sense my moods. I used to joke that she was my familiar, that part of my soul was inside of her, because she knew me so well. Even during the last few days, when she was at her worst, she’d follow me room to room & snuggle closer to me when my heart was breaking imagining one moment without her.
Today, my world has gone a little bit darker without her light & I can’t stop wishing that I’d stayed in more nights with her, gave her more chick fil a, and stayed in bed longer with her.
I love my little precious pup. ❤️

I’ve made it back to Nashville & am desperately wishing I was back in the sunshine (although, I’m trying to not complain about the weather we’ve been hanving lately — it has been beautiful!). Now that I’m out of school, & gainfully employed, I feel as if I can finally afford to travel a little bit. Just a little (I have to keep that job!). But in my spare time, I’ve been dreaming about the destinations I want to go to in the coming months. Where would you go??
In other news, today was my last day at my firm. On Monday, a new adventure starts. I am excited for the change & challenge that the new position will being with it.
Here’s to hoping that your 2019 is off to a fabulous start! Xx

I have a bad habit of always living in the future. I've heard it time & time again "live in the moment" and "there is no time like the present" and although I understand where those thoughts are coming from and appreciate them, I live in the future. For me, life exists in the hopes, dreams, and prayers I have for what is to come. I'm constantly working for someday. I know one day, I'll wake up, and realize that someday is today. But for now, it gives me something to look forward to.
What are you looking forward to??

Do you make resolutions in anticipation of the New Year? In the last weeks of December, I thought about what I wanted to change from the previous year. 2018 was a weird year for me. I thought a lot (probably too much), had 2 jobs, read 50 books, traveled to new places, attended weddings of friends, and was wayyyy more social than I'd like to admit.
For 2019, I have a few things I'd like to aim for. Although putting them out there supposedly makes you more accountable, I'm keeping them in. And this time next year, I'll see if anything has changed.
Happy New Year!!! Xo
