  • April Goals Recap & May Goals

    Okay, so I used to be a really terrible goal setter. To be honest, I still sort of am – well, let’s just say I have room for improvement. Sure, I’ve learned about SMART goals a thousand times and spent all of last year walking students through goal setting and achieving, but when it came… Continue reading

  • A Juliana Update

    Hello world! I am alive and well. I haven’t written here in quite some time. Partially because I didn’t feel inspired, partially because I was out enjoying life so much, and mostly because I could never bring myself to just sit down and write. Some notable life events since the last time we’ve talked: I… Continue reading

    five things [8/27/18 edition]

    Hi! Happy Monday! I’ve recently decided to start writing on here more often… I’m aiming for once a week and we will see what happens from there. I don’t know what I’ll write about, if it’ll be personal or random, serious or silly, but I do know that writing helps flex my creative muscle which… Continue reading

  • I am dancing with my five year old self.

    I am dancing with my five year old self. She stumbles over her feet. She doesn’t know what to do with this body that grows faster than she can chase her sister in the yard! She throws her head back and laughs, with reckless abandon, at every silly face I make. Every dance move that,… Continue reading

  • the summer sun.

    This has been a really hard summer for me. It’s not something I’ve shared with many people, but it’s been so hard. I’d never felt so defeated and hopeless and for so many reasons, too. Truthfully, at the root of it all, I felt as though I had failed myself. My worst critic. And I… Continue reading

  • Letter to Self: September 2017

    Letter to Self: September 2017

    So during our pre-service orientation for AmeriCorps in September, we were given a piece of paper to write a letter to our post-service self. Afterwards, we sealed them up in envelopes to be delivered to us during our exit session. Today, at 9 am, I was handed my letter from September! I had totally forgotten… Continue reading

  • Note to Self: Job Hunting Edition

    Hi! Long time no see. This is something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. My AmeriCorps term ends on June 29th and then I’ll hopefully have another job lined up. It’s been a heart-wrenching and stressful thing for me to think about and plan for and I’ve wanted to share why that is the… Continue reading

  • a quote for your Monday

    Good morning! Have the happiest of Mondays! And remember… If the world is cold, make it your business to build fires. -Horace Traubel Much love, Juliana Continue reading

  • Today I hope

    This Valentine’s Day I hope that you remember to buy yourself flowers. I hope, in a day wrapped in romanticism and cupids, you remember above all else that there are more types of love than what’s advertised. This Valentine’s Day I hope you find the energy to love yourself, if only just for today. You’ve… Continue reading

  • Erica, you better read this

    For her 20th birthday Erica jokingly asked for a blog post that was “20 Reasons Why Erica Is The Best On The Earth”. Unfortunately for her, she’s not getting that. Why? 1. I was too lazy to write down more than 10 reasons. 2. This is 3 days late, so it’s technically not her birthday.… Continue reading
