Self-Proclaimed Oversharer
‘Tis me, the voice and heart behind therawlense. I created this blog in 2012 as a way to vent and secretly share my interpretation of life as I’d known it. I tried to do this whole anonymity thing for a while and…it just didn’t work. I’m not very good at withholding information (hence the above subtitle). Now, I share my experiences and thoughts for those who struggle to put theirs into words. I expose my grievences, my hopes, my off-beat ideas and corny jokes for those who are terrified of opening up. As a wife, mother, and recovering self-saboteur, I have plenty material to work with.
In this age of social media personas, fabricated identities and impeccable highlight reels, I hope this blog can be a reminder that imperfect people who don’t have it all together still exist.
When I’m not sharing my stories, I dabble in:
- Brand & Content Strategy
- Copyediting
- Copywriting
- Content Marketing

you’ll know why I’m here…
there are seven attempts at being consistent sitting in the “drafts” section of this account. they were never published, nor were they finished – as it is with other “potential posts” I’ve written by hand. I have come up with every excuse possible to leave this blog where it’s been since my last post in…
