    Why I stopped blogging for over a year… and why I’m back

    April 4, 2025

    This is my first blog post in well over a year. And no, I didn’t stop because blogging is dead. My absence from blogging was unintentional. In November 2023, I signed a contract to write my first book, 100 Things To Do in Green Bay Before You Die. The manuscript was due by March 2024 to meet the desired publish date and cycle. This meant all my time needed to be focused on writing the book. At the same time, I was also planning and promoting a group trip to Scotland in April.

    Here’s why you need to set some healthy boundaries

    January 16, 2023

    At the beginning of 2022, I was in a much different place in life than I am now. I thought I was in a relationship that was going to lead to a marriage. I was struggling with my emotions and mental health daily but I didn’t know why. After an abrupt breakup, I was forced to really examine where my life was and where I wanted it to be. It took me a couple of months to begin to figure out what I really wanted for my future. Now after healing the heartbreak, shedding the tears, soul searching, and learning a lot about what healthy boundaries look like, I finally…
