So I save Fridays for Statistics, and let me tell you, I sat down at this computer at 8 a.m., and I haven’t left yet. My eyes are burning, my head is spinning, and there is a huge possibility that I’ll be dreaming about these lessons. I have to do my work ahead so thatContinue reading “Friday Night In”

Moving Forward
Stick to your dreams even when it gets hard. I’m still catching up with my schoolwork, but I think I’ll be all caught up by Saturday evening. Phew, I hope I don’t get sick for the rest of the semester because catching back up feels so uncomfortable. I feel like I missed out on everything.Continue reading “Moving Forward”
Right Place Right Time
Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will. -Zig Ziglar I lean toward positive thinking, but I also have moments when I let negative thinking win. I like to use affirmations, and since I’ve been using them for so long, it’s a lot easier to apply them to real-life experiences. SayingContinue reading “Right Place Right Time”
Big Kid
“Growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional!” – Walt Disney Thank you, Walt Disney, for giving us permission to be big kids. There’s so much to do as adults: responsibilities, leadership, saving, and giving, and all the other stuff. Why not find the things that delight your inner child? You know, I was aContinue reading “Big Kid”
Embrace Your Power
“The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.” -Alice Walker This is such an interesting quote because it’s harder to embrace your power than it is to give it away. Well, for me at least. I’d rather give away my power than do it all myself. IContinue reading “Embrace Your Power”
Healthy Striving
“Healthy striving is self-focused: ‘How can I improve?’ Perfectionism is other-focused: ‘What will they think?” -Brené Brown Healthy striving! I absolutely love that! I’m juggling a lot but even with a full plate, I still want to do well and show effort. I do want to improve at the same time, when I worry aboutContinue reading “Healthy Striving”
Braids
Today we started my braids, and I’m just so excited for them to be done! I have been so frustrated with my hair that I finally gave in and figured out how to do jumbo braids with some help from my mama. We haven’t finished yet, but they are looking pretty good so far. I’mContinue reading “Braids”
Rest and Relax
“Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest taken between two deep breaths.” — Etty Hillesum Today was a meditation day for me. I got under my weighted blanket, turned out the lights, and chose a guided meditation. It had to be done for self-care or I won’t sleep tonight. TheContinue reading “Rest and Relax”
Good Morning Sleepyhead
“True literature can exist only where it is created, not by diligent and trustworthy functionaries, but by madmen, hermits, heretics, dreamers, rebels, and skeptics.” – Yevgeny Zamyatin Time to come out of hiding. There’s a story to be written. There are hearts that need a clang of discomfort and souls that need the warmth ofContinue reading “Good Morning Sleepyhead”
Math Anxiety
I cannot believe how much I love stats. Literally, I cried with tutors over math my entire life! But give me some stats problems to solve and I will not stop until I figure them out. I liked stats 10 years ago, and I still like it now. Wild. If I were to go backContinue reading “Math Anxiety”
