I'm back! My last post was over a month ago, and I'm honestly surprised that I was even able to make that one. It has been an absolute whirlwind of a summer! I think I spent more time out of my home than in it. I'll run through a quick recap because I don't post … Continue reading Do What you Love
I live my life in such a way that I do not have very many regrets. And I am thankful for that. But I know not everyone feels that way. I make decisions that I stick to, and I live with the consequences. I want to provide a thought process for how I'm able to … Continue reading Sticking To It
I've been talking a lot about being in the tunnel and in the midst of the rougher patches of my life. But today, I want to talk about something different. I honestly don't remember most of November through February. I can tell you about isolated moments here and there, but I can't remember the transitional … Continue reading The Light at the End of the Tunnel
As I'm trying to change my situation and work to get onto something better, there's a lot of waiting involved. Waiting is HARD. There's so much unknown as you wait for things happen. For me personally, I think waiting can produce one of two things. It can produce a bitter person who has grown so … Continue reading In the Waiting
I think it's so important to show up for yourself. And I don't necessarily mean things like "dress for the job you want, not the job you have" or "remember your why" (a common one in teaching that I just can't get behind). I mean showing up for yourself, even when it's hard. I have … Continue reading Show Up for Yourself
I think it's obvious that I'm not the same writer I used to be. This school year has been so rough on me for so many reasons. I'm trying to come to terms with this change. My brain is rewired from all of the things I've gone through. One of the things that I'm trying … Continue reading Focus
Peace is important. I believe that many people spend their lives chasing peace. You want to find things that bring you peace, fulfillment, or joy. My life has already been in upheaval for 2025. I want to keep things under wraps for the moment. Maybe at some point I'll talk about it and tell you … Continue reading Peace
I was reminded this past weekend of just how many people I have around me. Many of these are people who want me to succeed and do well. I am so thankful that I have them to support and encourage me. My brain likes to tell me that I have to do it all by … Continue reading Support System
So often, I feel like I am living life at full speed. I have goals, progress, and changes I am working towards. I am in the last stretch of my current school year, and I am eagerly looking towards summer and all the things I will be able to do with more time. I also … Continue reading One Day at a Time
Growth, progress, and change are all topics I talk about often on here. Today, I want to approach this topic in a different manner. Not only do we have to be willing to grow, we also have to allow room for growth. Plants can't grow if there's no room. In the same way, you can't … Continue reading Allow Room for Growth
