Letting Go
I wrote a post in October 2017 called "Healing" about letting things go (read it here). It is so amazing to me how things come back around! In that post, I talked about a cut I had gotten on my finger and how I let it heal so there was only a faint scar.Well, I've … Continue reading Letting Go
In the Time of Waiting
I feel like everyone experiences this at least one point in their life. You wait for something, and you're so eager for it that you forget to just be present. I know I'm guilty of this. But I also know that I'm working on it. A pretty popular one that I see is people waiting … Continue reading In the Time of Waiting

Phoenix Rising
I have to be honest here: most of 2018 was not super great for me. It felt like things just kept knocking me down, and getting back up only meant getting knocked down again. But the upside to all of this? I feel like 2018 also taught me a lot about my life and myself. … Continue reading Phoenix Rising
Life Changes
I don't know how much you listen to country music, but there's a pretty popular song out there by Thomas Rhett called "Life Changes". It's super cute and talks about his life story. But I really like the chorus. A couple lines say "You never know what's gonna happen. You make your plans and you … Continue reading Life Changes
