Expanding

I’m learning to have a more stable home life. Our home life is generally pretty stable. We aren’t a perfect family but we’ve been blessed to be able to stay home with our two year old. But let’s talk about unstable homes and housing insecurity. Housing insecurity will really have you coming out of yourContinue reading “Expanding”

Trouble Getting Motivated

I poured a lot of my energy into the beginning of my day so now I’m rushing about getting my daily writing goals done. But I did share an old piece that was originally published on Know Thyself Heal Thyself. I got a couple pennies for this one. Check it out. I had fun writingContinue reading “Trouble Getting Motivated”

My Silly Little Dream

I don’t know what it is, but I want to own a community laundromat pretty bad. I gained the dream and it never went away. It lingers around and pops up from time to time. What drove it home was this post below from Wild Women Sisterhood. I think it was Brene Brown who toldContinue reading “My Silly Little Dream”

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”

Good Times…

Are worth waiting for. Some people may think you should always have a good time. Some people think you have to earn a good time. I think you should do it all. Let em come to you, go seek em out, and earn them. Why not? I’m not someone who always needs to have aContinue reading “Good Times…”

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”
