January 29, 2016 by Rebekah in ETC., LifestyleThis is a question I have been thinking about a lot this week.
For some reason over the past few days, I have been the biggest bully to myself. First, we went to a financial advisor…because yeah this adulting thing is so fun. I associate money with a great amount of guilt. The first reason is because I am not that well versed in all things finance; it makes my head spin. I want to make great financial decisions, but half the time I have no idea what anyone is talking about. So what do I do? Beat myself up

January 6, 2016 by Rebekah in ETC.How in the world is it already 2016? I have no idea. Am I the only one that wasn’t ready for the New Year? This year I didn’t even come up with resolutions. Mostly because I didn’t have a chance to pause and think about what those would be…until now. Since the excitement of the holidays is over, and I am trying to get back into the mundane swing of things, I keep thinking about what I want out of this year.
The past few months have been all about transition, and with that comes good and bad. The biggest

When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
An astronaut! (laughs) I always thought that traveling to space would be the coolest thing ever. I used to watch Sesame Street and my favorite song was “I’d Like to Visit the Moon” that Ernie and Bert sang.

When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I am thankful that I knew at an early age what I wanted to do and I have been doing it. I also have really supportive parents who would drive me to lessons all over the place when I was younger. In another life, if I wasn’t an artist,

September 1, 2015 by Rebekah in ETC.I guess when it is your birthday you get introspective (is that even the right word?!). Yes, today I am 28…which means I am closer to 30 than 20. Ah, scary! However, for some reason, I feel like this is going to be the best year ever! I am going into this next year with a sense of confidence that I have never had before.
I haven’t blogged in forever, so I just wanted to say “hey, what’s up?!”. For some reason, when I sat down, I thought I had so much to write, but now I cant remember.

July 15, 2015 by Rebekah in ETC.I am backkkk!
Yes, I know I have taken a break from blogging. Why? Well, there are lots of reason…1) the work I get paid for is my priority 2) I have a lot less time than I used to and 3) it just became such a chore. Every time, I would think about blogging, a wave of resentment would come over me. From the beginning, this blog was a hobby…I always wanted it to be something fun, and when it stopped being fun, I had to take a break. I knew at some point my inspiration would come back.
