Connection
“There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that’s your own self.” -Aldous Huxley I look forward to this weekend.

My Sunshine

Full Moon
It’s the full moon, and I’ve been a sleepy girl. I got class time off today, and I took full advantage. I napped on the couch with the news on in the background. I’m not a news person, but these days, it’s almost like if you don’t have the news on, you’ll wake up toContinue reading “Full Moon”

I’m ready to get our Christmas tree, and I think next weekend would be the perfect time to go. I love Christmas so much. I hope we get a white Christmas this year.

Rest and Recover
“Resting well means going beyond just getting enough sleep. It involves intentionally giving your body, mind, and emotions time to recover from stress and stimulation. This could mean taking a mental break during the day, spending quiet time in nature, saying no to draining social events, or practicing mindfulness.” Calm.com I’ve said it before andContinue reading “Rest and Recover”
Let’s Talk Winter
“In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer. ” -Albert Camus I found my love for winter when I became a writer. I like snow days.
