My heart is heavy, but it’s also so full. I have never been a master of the right thing to say, I don’t have a filter and I often put my foot in my mouth, but this past week has been beyond enlightening, to say the least. I had a moment of clarity remembering a […]

Long Time, No Talk
Okay, I’m embarrassed it’s been a HOT minute since I paid attention to Baikley.com – and it only took six weeks of being laid off during a pandemic for me to realize the neglect I’ve left it in. It’s a weird friggin’ time, but I’m committing back to filling my corner of the internet with […]
Real Life Internet Friends
Do you have internet friends? I absolutely love this topic, because I am fascinated by interpersonal psychology (so much so I majored in it in university!), and the intwinement of the human psyche. In this age, we are both blessed and cursed by social media and the role it plays in our lives. I used […]
Bye-Bye SF, Hello SD!
So I’ve got some freaking exciting news to share with you all, it’s something I’ve been hinting at for a while but I can officially shout it out from the mountaintops (or in this case, the next best thing, the internet!) After a little over a year back up in the Bay Area, I am […]
Fitness Regimens
How often do you find yourself falling off the fitness wagon and then taking what feels like ages to get back on it again? Over the past five or so years, I have had my most fit selves, and I’ve had some very far cries from taking good care of my body. But what I […]
Looking Into 2019
As I reflect on what I’m planning for my goals of the future, it’s hard to not turn introspective on what 2018 has brought and taught me, and I think this is where the true value of a “New Year’s Resolution” comes into play. Of course focusing on what the changing of a calendar year […]
Self-Expression and Something a Little Different
I’ve always been passionate about creative writing, and self-expression. Writing is such a powerful way to express your own inner workings, and find an ability to connect in a deeper and more meaningful way with your fellow beings. As an outlet for some heavy emotions, I’ve been penning some poetry, and I’ll start sharing some […]
What Does Self Care Look Like?
Self-care is a huge topic in our hectic and chaotic world, and it looks different to everyone. How open are you with your closest circle about what you need in order to take care of your personal well-being? Going through a huge trauma myself, I’m the type of person that turns to my friends and […]
Petition to Bring Back the Myspace Selfie
I don’t know about you guys, but I miss the ole days of long arm Myspace picture – before the invention of the mirror selfie. That high up angle gets the whole ‘fit in there: face, hair, shoes, and all, plus major slimming effects amiright? I don’t know who to send this petition to, I’ve […]
What’s With ‘Baikley?’
It’s a weird name for a site, doesn’t seem to make much sense, but the origin story of Baikley encapsulates what you can expect from me. About 10 years ago, I was working as a department manager for Nordstrom SF, and “Words with Friends” was the newest sensation. My girls kept encouraging me to play […]
