Vision Boards

This year instead of cutting out and gluing magazine pictures, I created my vision board on Pinterest. I’ve always wanted a hot tub but this is the first year it made it onto my vision board. A vision board is a collection of dreams, desires, and goals you’d like for the year. I think it’sContinue reading “Vision Boards”

Don’t Forget to have Fun

Don’t forget to have fun! Life can get so serious over night. Sometimes you gotta just let loose and take the adventure for what it is.  Everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you’re climbing it. ― Andy Rooney With so much going on around the world,Continue reading “Don’t Forget to have Fun”

My Heart Goes Out to Ukraine

Today has been a weird day at our house. Not a bad day at all. It was peaceful and felt kinda orderly in our home. My heart goes out to the families sleeping in subways. I wish they could just be swept safely out of harms way. We are preparing for snow. And I’m justContinue reading “My Heart Goes Out to Ukraine”

Poetry from Paintings

I’m at a part in my novel where my main character, Christian, walks into a room created by her mother that’s identical to a painting Christian’s currently working on. We see Christian’s connection to the painting earlier on the story, but I don’t explain too much about the painting. So right now I’m exploring differentContinue reading “Poetry from Paintings”

Blogging Daily

I’m feeling depleted tonight. I had a great day though! I just really struggle with blogging daily. Maybe someday this will get easier but for now, it’s quite the challenge. When I feel like this, I like to remind myself why I blog. I blog daily because I sleep better and my days go betterContinue reading “Blogging Daily”

Be Proud of Yourself

I was brought up in the Christian community. A big thing that we were taught growing up was to be humble. I think humility is great but it’s taught in a way that made me feel like being proud of myself was a sin. So today I was working through my internal blocks. One ofContinue reading “Be Proud of Yourself”

Time Flies

Today went by so quick, I can’t believe I got anything done. I was wiped out by the time I got home and got all the groceries organized. Side note: You know what I appreciate, paper bags. I’m huge into recycling and getting it all out to the curb in a mostly neat fashion. IContinue reading “Time Flies”

For Valentines Day

I woke up and gave my girls Valentine’s Gifts. For breakfast tried to make them pink eggs. (It failed lol) We had mini pancakes though! It was nice to have that family time in the am. I did my usual morning routine and went to get some work done. I came home to flowers fromContinue reading “For Valentines Day”

When the going gets tough

When the going gets tough, admit it, find your peace, find the good, and keep going. I wrote admit it because it’s important to talk about the hard times. That’s where connection lives. That’s where you find the will to face your demons. I placed it first because it takes priority to all the rest.Continue reading “When the going gets tough”
