I remember when I was getting ready to apply for nursing jobs. I was working with the career center at my college, and the women I was working with really made me think about the interview questions I would be answered. She asked me why I became a nurse, the catch was I couldn’t sayContinue reading “Jesus wept.”

Ashley, You are a beautiful person, inside and out. Your heart for others is huge. Let’s not even get started on the love you have for your cats. You are incredibly loyal and compassionate.

I wanted to write something around Thanksgiving about how far I had come. But it was hard to sit down and write about it. I am not sure I have a satisfying answer.

It has been a while my friends. Honestly I don’t remember when I posted last, only that it was before I moved. I could blame it on the fact that I didn’t have internet the first month and half that I moved, or a friend coming to town. But the truth is, I just haven’tContinue reading “Progress?”

I can’t believe I have lived in Couer D’Alene for almost a year. I think about the person I came here as and the person I am now. I have come so far when it comes to my relationships, assessing my needs, managing my emotions. Recently I have been receiving a lot of encouragement fromContinue reading “Clean Cut”

Coming home to Coeur d’Alene felt different than when I first moved here. I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel and didn’t put much thought into it.
