“Life’s not about expecting, hoping, and wishing; it’s about doing, being, and becoming.” -Mike Dooley As I begin this new season of my career as a Locum Radiation Therapist, I can’t help but look back. It’s been sixteen years since I graduated from Washburn University. I’ve had three staff radiation therapist positions during my career,…

a Radiation Therapist: during Covid-19
I haven’t posted in awhile… for a few reasons. Mostly, life. Over the last couple months, I have relocated and am part of a new Radiation team. Also, my last post was wildly loved, beyond anything I could have ever dreamed of… and I’m so grateful, but kind of intimidated. That being said, I only…
a Radiation Therapist…
I am a Radiation Therapist. My profession doesn’t define me, but it does say a lot about me. It tells a story about who I am. As a retired Radiation Therapist’s daughter, I saw through my dad who I wanted to be. I saw him coming home late because a patient needed extra care. I…
Adventures Await.
Adulting is overwhelming, am I right? The responsibilities are endless. Literally. You work to feed and clothe and shelter your loved ones. You grocery shop and clean the bathrooms. You fold clothes and meal prep for lunches. You scoop litter and change the oil in the vehicles. You go to ball games and help with…
#basic
I’ve been thinking a lot about identity this year. Maybe it’s because I turned 40. Maybe it’s because I always feel like I’m searching. Maybe it’s low self confidence or anxiety. Maybe it is just that season of my life. I can’t really put my finger on it, but it’s been on my mind a…
Here I am.
So here I am. An Onekama rock glass with a bit of Iron Fish bourbon sitting in front of me. My Kane Brown playlist playing in the background. Oliver the cat trying to get my attention. My new, beautiful journal sitting beside me. Here I am. I got on here the other day with the…
Live the Life You Love
When I was starting this blog, I did what any novice would do…. I did research. What makes a blog appealing? What do readers want to spend their time reading? What do the people want?? As I was doing my research, something stuck with me. The advice was to live a life others would want…
Motivation {or the lack of}
Let’s talk a bit about motivation, shall we? When we start any kind of new journey, motivation fills our life and our thoughts, right? We believe in this… …and maybe along the way, these wonderfully motivational quotes, seem a little… well… cliche. Am I right? As we live our journey, we will start to have…
Outside Looking In
So, the other day, I mentioned that I didn’t have any plans after work. My normal week night evenings generally consist of working out or running, Dave making dinner, and then sitting down to watch our shows on DVR. After sharing this, a coworker said to me that I was ‘living the dream’… Really? Who’s…
choices.challenges.change.
“The choices we make, dictate the lives we lead. To thine own self be true.” – Danny Devito (Renaissance Man) This may have been an quiet, obscure movie, but this poignant quote has been a constant for me for most of my adult life. As I sit here in my back yard around the fire…
