The Adjustment

I’ve been a stay at home mom or in school for the last 8 years. Adjusting to starting a nonprofit has been tough. It’s tough for many reasons but even so, this seems like the best option because it’s something I can do for a long time. I’m a sensitive, committed, and loyal individual soContinue reading “The Adjustment”

Sleeping

Losing sleep is one of the most frustrating things for me. I used to sacrifice sleep all the time but as time passed, I realized how much lack of sleep increased my stress levels. With my stress levels increased it makes it hard for me to do things I can normally do with no sweat.Continue reading “Sleeping”

Sticking It Out

How in the world is this going to work? How can doing all this come to anything? I don’t know. I really don’t know. I know that I’m happy here. I know that if this could last forever, I’d let it. I’m ok with change, but I don’t need to fight for it. It comesContinue reading “Sticking It Out”

Painted Nails

I haven’t had time to do small things for myself lately. I’ve been going non stop! But today I found time to paint my nails. I painted them pale pink and I love them. I do forgot how long it takes to dry them so I accidently smudged my thumb. I used to get myContinue reading “Painted Nails”

I Love Baths

I hope my future has a hot tub in it. I love baths. Bubbles, oils, candle light, all of it. I’ve always wanted one of those trays for the bath. Mostly because I’ve never had one. As for my love baths, there was even a brief time in my adult life where I would onlyContinue reading “I Love Baths”

Aladdin in The Cave of Wonders

I’ve been thinking about this scene a lot lately. I remember as a kid thinking to myself how there was no way I was going to screw up a chance like that. I’d follow directions properly. Then I’d remind myself that it wasn’t Aladdin’s fault in this scene, it was Abu’s fault. And then myContinue reading “Aladdin in The Cave of Wonders”

Coffee Love/Hate

My love/hate relationship with coffee. I appreciate the energy coffee gives me. What’s even better is that I learned how I like my coffee made. I just hate that it makes me feel foggy the next day. Sometimes it feels like my best option is to drink another coffee. I don’t like that feeling. TheContinue reading “Coffee Love/Hate”

Sway

There’s always going to be the pull, the spiral. There’s always going to be the darkness that lingers under the bed. It’ll grab you by the heels. It’ll knock you out and suck you in rightwhen you expect it to (or not). There’s a rhythm. There’s a dance and they say the best way aroundContinue reading “Sway”

The Price of the Journey

Our inner journey is one that’s more valuable than gold. What does it require for us to journey inward? food, safety, shelter, ? Do we need some kind of stimulation to journey inward? Can we meet our core self without a mentor or guru guiding us? I think everyone is different and learns to acknowledgeContinue reading “The Price of the Journey”

Wait, Strike That Reverse It” -Willy Wonka

The my last post, There’s So Much World Out There, I spoke about how important it is to have new experiences. But this post, want to talk about how important it is to find the beauty in monotony. In the same ole rigmarole. We forget to find beauty in the small things. There’s that sayingContinue reading “Wait, Strike That Reverse It” -Willy Wonka”
