In Progress...

So I’ve clearly neglected this website over the last four years to the point where I have let it deactivate and disappear off the web. Honestly, I’m not going to lie…I forgot about it. I’ve been through a lot and I am now at a point where I have been doing a ton of reflection. Mostly, thanks to COVID and taking some time away from work. I feel this site will go through a major update to eventually fit with the phase of life I am in. In the meantime, let me at least fix these broken links!

I like to see my life as ever-evolving, always in progress, and never quite perfect. As I navigate these experiences and figure out who I am at this point in time, I am enjoying the journey wherever it takes me. What I’m searching for is probably right around the corner, but patience is also not my strong suit. Isn’t that the beauty of life? Loving the unknown just as much as the known, and all the things you learn along the way. As a reminder, I’m going to try not to be too hard on myself.

I want to restart this site because it is really important to me that I start to document my journey, my thoughts, my work….everything because so much has happened over the years. I just have collections of notes, dreams, and projects just floating all over the place and they need a home. I have learned so much and worked on a variety of projects that I would like to share with the world. Will you join me…again?

Love,

Lola

No Worries

Do you ever get those feelings when you doubt your decision, even though you know it is exactly what you want. I get those from time to time, and it's mostly because I have those moments when I get overwhelmed with all of the coursework and not to mention, I miss getting a salary. I have to remind myself that everything that's happening right now is a stepping stone to get to where I want to be.

Love,

First Apartment!

Hey loves,

I have some wonderful news! I will soon be moving into my first apartment, well outside of college, at the least. I'm so excited because as much as love being able to stay at home, I feel like it hinders me. It's too safe, and I'm getting too comfortable. 

I have always loved being active and going after what I want, but I now I feel like I am becoming lazy and complacent. I don't have that fire under me anymore. So, now it's time to be a big girl and move out of mommy's house. 

Well first things first, let the apartment hunt commence! 

Love, 

Lola

Hey lovely people,

So yesterday was my 25th birthday, and I can say leading up to it, I pretty much had a quarter life crisis. I was unsure about where life was leading me, confused, wondering why I am not one of those people who have it all figured out, and just feeling like I have to start over. One of the things that were constantly on my mind was, "Where would I be if I would of just pursued my passion from the very beginning, where would I be in life right now, how far would I have got?" 

I spoke with one of my best friends last night and she definitely gave me the reassurance that I needed. I am on the right track, I am brave and going after my dreams despite all odds. Many people in life don't know exactly who they want to be or where the should be. Then I came across the quote above on The Everygirl and I realized I was just beating myself up. I truly believe everything happens in the way God has intended, and I am exactly where I am supposed to be. I have a plan and I am taking it one step at a time.

Love,

Lola
