So of course as I’m getting ready to write this blog post about positivity and manifesting great things, I end up going outside to get something from my car and …. I GET LOCKED OUT OF MY HOUSE! I don’t know what I did to The Universe but IT. IS. PISSED. So here’s the thing;…
I remember the moment I first held you in my arms, I had shaky arms and a heart that could barely contain itself but there you were: Sophia Julianna. How is it that such a tiny human has been such an essential part of my being for two years? How did I get so damn…
17-year-old Julie was very proud of the fact that she didn’t have many girlfriends. She walked around angry at the world while sharing with anyone who would listen, that she preferred being friends with guys because girls were just so much drama. She was the meanest of the mean girls and often found herself on…
I constantly over-share. I mean, seeing as I run a blog that statement should go without saying and yet … I over-share. It’s not that I want to tell you that I’m on Day 2 of my period but sometimes I just can’t help it. You see, 9 to 23-year-old Julie had a heart made…
I am in a beautiful committed relationship and though lately it’s been tumultuous, the love is very much still alive. It’s been 13 wonderful (sometimes complicated) years but Grey’s Anatomy and I are still very much in love. Not only has the show been a beautiful constant in my life but the main character Meredith Grey, played by…
This awards season has been a bittersweet one for me, though I’ve been happy about the recognition The Shape of Water and Call Me By Your Name are getting. I find myself singing a familiar tune this year: Where is the love for Jake Gyllenhaal? Now, I want to be careful as to not start sounding like a Jake Gyllenhaal…
Well here we are! Day 1 of 2018 and I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I’m definitely feeling the motivation that comes from the beginning of a new year. I think it goes without saying that globally, 2017 was a wreck. I mean Trump continues to be President (somehow) and every single day…
Looking back on 2017, I can’t think of a negative experience I’ve had. I mean, I’m sure they’re there because 2017 has definitely not been perfect. Yet, it’s the happy memories that immediately jump out at me. So as I sit here on Thanksgiving Day waiting for my family to get ready so we can…
Maybe it’s the fact that they make you go through the experience alone, or maybe it’s the fact that I had never done anything with virtual reality before; but the morning that I woke up for my Carne y Arena experience my belly was full of butterflies and my hands were clammy with anticipation. Carne y Arena is…
Trigger Warning: Sexual Assault, Suicide I had to convince myself three times to write this; I almost wrote this last night but the words found themselves stuck on the edge of my fingertips. It happened while I was about to go to sleep last night that my finger scrolled through America Ferrera’s post on…
