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
Change is scary. Trying new things is scary. But those scary moments help us grow and they help us become better. In educational psychology, there's an idea called the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD). ZPD is the ideal moment between work that is too easy and work that is too challenging. If the work is … Continue reading Do What Scares You
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
Welcome to 2025! It's a brand new year. I don't know about you, but I needed a fresh start in more ways than one. I hope that this year provides opportunities to follow that plan. Like with any first post of the year, I want to talk about some of my goals. I do this … Continue reading Start Into 2025
I started this year with a fully made bullet journal. If you've been following my blog for a number of years now, you know that I created one to use in 2019. It was a good start, and I really enjoyed it. However, around May or June, I fell off of using it. A big … Continue reading How to Create a Complete Bullet Journal

I've mentioned on here a number of times how I feel resolutions aren't things you plan to keep. You make them only to break them or ignore them when times get hard. For … Continue reading Goals for 2024
This will be my last post of 2023 because I will not post in between Christmas and New Year's. But it is the end of another year! Time is such a funny thing in that it keeps moving whether or not you want it to. I want to take today and maybe slow down time … Continue reading A Wrap-up of 2023
As the year wraps up to a close, I'm spending time to review and reflect some of the things I've learned this year and lessons I'll take with me to the future. I'll do this more in-depth next week as I wrap up the year in a whole. But I want to take today to … Continue reading Challenge Your Thoughts
It's becoming a popular thing to have a word of the year. If you don't know what this is, it's choosing a word to embody and use throughout the year to describe yourself, your goals, and the things you do. I'm not hating on that, and if that's something you're into, then go for it. … Continue reading Determination
Happy 2023! I hope you had a good holiday (whatever you celebrate), and your New Year's celebration was everything you wanted! It's that time of year where everyone sets goals for themselves and "resolutions." (I say every year how much I don't like that word). Resolutions are "I resolve to do this," but to me, … Continue reading A New Year, but How “New” are You?
