Summer
It took him a little while to be open to the idea of going out in the middle of a water minefield, but he eventually decided he could dig it. Can I just add that Mt. Juliet’s Splash Day at Charlie Daniels Park is adorable? We had all kinds of super nice church folk coming up to us and giving us water and icy pops all day long. I got warm fuzzies while eating a…

‘Your purple prose just gives you away’
This song just came on the radio and I could see it changing Holden’s life instantly.

File under ‘Things it took me 32 years to learn’
People who call you out for having low self-confidence/esteem are often the same people who will behave in ways toward you that make you question your self-worth.

You only get the one
You know that thing where people write their past selves a letter? Sometimes I think about doing that, and it would be sassy and start off with something like “You think things are going to get less complicated, girly? Well, think again!” Except it would have to end there because Present Me has no real wisdom to impart to Past Me, except maybe try to be nicer, because apparently I am an asshole. This blog…

A stroll through City Cemetery
I didn’t plan to end up in a cemetery yesterday, but I did. I had the day off work and after an indulgent morning spent lounging in bed, watching TV, I got the itch to go somewhere and take photos. And, after driving around for a little while, City Cemetery is where I ended up. The City Cemetery is Nashville’s oldest continuously operated public cemetery. So much history and so many prominent Nashvillians rest there.…
