My Thanksgiving Tradition of Not Having a Tradition
I love a good tradition, but for some reason, not having one on Thanksgiving doesn’t bother me. As long as I’m with people that I love, it’s all good. Eating lots of food is also a bonus.

Confessions of an Exhausted People Pleaser
I’ve just never been the type of person that can say “I am who I am and if you don’t like it, you can go screw yourself.” I want everyone to like me. Always. Even if I don’t like them.

People say to trust your gut and you’ll know what’s right – but what if you can’t tell the difference between your gut instinct and fear kicking in?
