Celebrating life’s journeys with YOU! ♥

Hey, Friend! My name is Cierra and like most twenty-somethings (soon to be thirty-somethings), I’m just trying to figure out how to live a “well-balanced” life amongst the chaos in the D.C. Metropolitan Area.

I started this blog when I was a student and full-time employee in the non-profit space who refused to not have fun under the weight of adult responsibilities. Now that I have obtained my Master’s degree in I/O psychology, started a small business, and continue to work full-time at the non-profit, I realized that I still need the reminder to not get so lost in my ambition that I forget to live. To help ground myself, I create monthly bucket lists that prioritize some of the aspects of life that I find worth living. This includes trying new things, finding time for exercise and personal growth, savoring all of the yummy eats, and spending time with my friends and family.

I believe that there is magic and value in life’s journeys. I also believe that sometimes the road to self-discovery (and just life in general) can be really hard. I’m not here to sugarcoat the harsh realities (though I am a big fan of practicing gratitude and finding silver linings). However, I am here to share what I stumble across along the way and to hopefully encourage you to grow and celebrate your personal journeys as well.

Rooting for you, friend! Thank you for stopping by my corner of the internet.
