Monthly Wrap-Ups

May 2021 Wrap-Up

It’s Gemini season! I’m so happy that the warm weather is here and that summer is about to begin! May flew by in a whirl-wind and all of a sudden it is my birthday tomorrow! May was a big lesson for me in surrendering and letting go of expectations, because things don’t always go as planned. I’m in the process of going with the flow, figuring out what I truly want, and letting the universe show me the way. I’m not sure what is in store for me, and while that absolutely terrifies me and drives me crazy, I know it will all work out how it is supposed to and I’m just going to try to enjoy the ride. I’m incredibly grateful for my superstar family, friends, and boyfriend who always remind me who I am and help lift me up. I can’t wait to fill the last year of my 20’s with so many fun memories, experiences, and of course, amazing reads.

April 2021 Wrap-Up

And just like that it’s May. Time is wild and this past month has honestly been a blur. I’m currently getting ready to make the move back to the Big Apple and I am so excited for this next stage in the adventure. In the meantime, I’ve been nannying quite a bit, playing with my sweet new puppy nephew, and reading, of course.
