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”
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”
The Right Time
“I am in exactly the right place at exactly the right time.” I’m on my way to 40, and it’s starting to get to me. I went down the rabbit hole of feeling like I wasted so much time (5 years) trying to have and keep a baby that I didn’t stay focused on myContinue reading “The Right Time”
Word After Word
“A word after a word after a word is power.” – Margaret Atwood I’m just over here putting words after words. I’m not in it for the power over others but for the power over my own thoughts and actions. There’s a lot going on every day. It’s so easy to lose yourself in itContinue reading “Word After Word”
Write It Out
“Writing is a way of talking without being interrupted.” – Jules Renard This is interesting. This must be coming from a different type of mind because I interrupt my own thoughts, words, flow, and whatever else all the time. Just now, I just interrupted myself. You would never know from reading this blog how manyContinue reading “Write It Out”
Happy Valentine’s Day
“There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.” – Thomas Aquinas I knew I wanted to marry my husband when I saw him, but I knew even more when he became my best friend. I could tell him anything, and it felt like I had known him forever on ourContinue reading “Happy Valentine’s Day”
