Please recycle your Christmas trees. →
Find a local center to recycle your Christmas trees…real and artificial. Free up some space in the landfills and cut down on a bit of air pollution. :)

I’ve been fighting silent battles between my heart and my mind, knowing full well that the answers will come with time, selling my soul to a corporation that only pays the bills for now, living a life that no longer feels like my own, still wanting the whole world to be my home. I’m better than this routine that I’ve created for myself, But I’m stuck here trying to get my...
Can we please just kill off the current music industry and start spreading something more than words of drugs, alcohol, sex, violence, etc.?
Can I be completely honest? I hate my job. I hate making minimum wage and working my ass off for something that is only paying my monthly bills. This job will not help me move further along in life. It will not lead me to any better opportunities with the company, because we were told day 1 that people rarely receive raises and if they do it won’t be til at least a year down the road. They...

I’m going home to Chicago for a few days to spend Christmas with my family. I don’t leave til Christmas Eve, but I’m so excited! I will also be welcomed by at least 8 inches of snow. I really can’t imagine a Christmas without snow.

WatchIf you ever have the chance to visit Nashville during Nov-Dec, please check out the Opry Hotel. This is just part of the outside display. It is one of the most magical, beautiful things I’ve ever seen. And I plan to go back every single year from now on.
Dear world, Please quit with the rude words, jealousy, hatred, and general dislike towards others. It will not put you ahead of them in life. It will not take away all of the problems that surround you. It may temporarily make you feel better about yourself, but one day it will all come back around to haunt you. People need to stop rejoicing over others misfortunes, stop spreading gossip, and stop...

I worked 52 hours in the past 7 days alone. I FINALLY have a day off tomorrow and I cannot begin to explain how much I need it. Working retail during the holidays takes away a lot of Holiday joy. Also, because of my work schedule I won’t be going home for Christmas until Dec. 24 and I will be back here the 28th. This job can suck it. P.S. For those who were curious and didn’t see my...
Illuminate/Donations/UNICEF →
Last month I donated 10% off all Illuminate sales to the Nashville Rescue Mission to provide Thanksgiving dinners for local homeless friends. My original plan was to donate 10% of all sales this month to Toys For Tots. But after reading this post I have changed my original decision. Toys For Tots is such a wonderful organization and I will make a donation to them in the future, but at this very...

Know your worth. And surround yourself with people who deserve you.
Let the past be the past and the present be one step closer to the person you want to be.
I do my best to be open with the public and let you all see the wonderful and difficult parts of my life. It’s helpful that I’ve very rarely had people who try to tear me down for their own benefit, and I appreciate those who are constantly willing to read my thoughts and words, give me words of encouragement, and have my back in times of need. But I still occasionally feel the need to...

“It’s time. The Pentagon study released yesterday confirms what we’ve long known: The military is ready to repeal “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” The report found that 70 percent of troops do not believe the change would have a negative impact on morale, and troop readiness would not be affected. This important news means that we are closer than ever to...
