Life Lately Spring 2023

Yesterday was the first day in over a year that I’ve blogged… how did that happen?! Oh, I know, I had a baby and grew a small business! I posted on Instagram last night how I don’t know how to fit blogging back into my life at this time but I do miss it incredibly.

But seriously, I’m pretty sure a lot of us had a year that seems surreal in many ways. It is easy to get caught up in what would’ve / could’ve / should’ve been and I’d be lying if I said I haven’t struggled with those thoughts this year.

Reflections of a 2020 Election Poll Worker

This year was the first time since college when I served as an Election Day poll worker. It’s an experience I encourage every American to do at least once. Not only does it provide immense gratitude and pride to live in this great nation but it is amazing to be a part of the process and learn what all takes place to carry out democracy at it’s very essence. Here are my reflections on serving as a poll worker in the 2020 election.
