Going Rogue: Generosity

Going Rogue: Generosity

Not Your Average Ordinary ― On Tuesday, at 3:12am, I had my first-ever panic attack. As far as panic attacks go, I’m sure it was mild one: I just suddenly woke from my slumber with an overwhelming feeling of dread. It was the “Oh my golly, what are you doing? You...

All the Right Curves

Not Your Average Ordinary ― Before the cold weather and snow hit last night, I spent a good portion of my weekend outdoors. I even got a bit of sunburn. But that time in the woods, surrounded by trees, started me daydreaming, and when I came across these natural wood floors,...

What the Last Weeks Have Been Leading To

What the Last Weeks Have Been Leading To

Not Your Average Ordinary ― Last weekend, there was an archery tournament. Today, I resigned from my job. My heart is still racing. And let me tell you — while I feel wildly free, I’m also a bit terrified. For the first time in my life, I won’t have a...

The Archer’s Wardrobe

The Archer’s Wardrobe

Playing Hooky

Not Your Average Ordinary ― Last night, I decided that I would take a mental health day and play hooky from work today. I won’t lie: the predicted 58-degree weather might have had something to do with it. But really, I’ve been feeling overworked, over-scheduled,...
