A Letter To My Tribe
“Find your tribe.”
It’s one of the first things I heard when becoming a military spouse.
But what does that mean?
In anthropology, a tribe is defined as a human social group. But more in depth, a tribe is almost a subculture of a group of people.
For the longest time, I thought “finding your tribe” meant finding dear friends who would accept me as I am. But as I prepare to leave this place I’ve called home for the last three years, I realize it’s much more than that.

There’s no shortage of excitement surrounding each detail it takes to personalize your upcoming home with decorating inspiration.
Life Unexpected
This year seems to have slowly become more difficult as time goes by. I can say with complete certainty that it will get more difficult before too much longer. The best way to describe what has happened and what will happen is overwhelming, exhausting, and unexpected. The last few months have been wrought with worry, stress, and pain.
