Glück: Defined.

I'm sure some of you are curious as to why the title of my blog is foreign: glück. Or maybe you're not, but I'm going to tell you anyways. 😜 My husband, Nathan, has an incredible memory and is seriously one of the most intelligent individuals I have ever met. When we first met, he… Continue reading Glück: Defined.

IT That Must Not Be Named

Harry Potter, arguably one of the best book and movie series to exist, defines the imaginary world of magic through friendships, heartache, kindness, and bravery. In a world where "He Who Must Not Be Named," is synonymous with fear, Harry shatters the normalcy and refuses to conform with the fearful alliance of others and insists… Continue reading IT That Must Not Be Named

God Must Think I’m Pretty Patient

Today, I was supposed to receive my biopsy results that were taken during my surgery last week and ultimately be the DETERMINATION of cancer/illness. I'm assuming you can imagine the immense level of anticipation and reluctant eagerness that engulfed not only me but those around me.

The Power of Grief

14 days ago, I was told by my doctor that I might have cancer. We spend our lives leisurely reading novels and watching movies that are engulfed with sadness, grief, and tragedy, deem them “award-winning” and “noteworthy,” and yet daily we maintain the belief that “it will never happen to me.” Until it does. And let… Continue reading The Power of Grief
