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

Sticking To It
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
The Light at the End of the Tunnel
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
Focus
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
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

However, I'm not going to run from it. While I may not say everything on this blog, I do … Continue reading What’s On Your Stove?
Support System
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
Level Up a Relationship
My partner and I got into a really good conversation recently, and I think this is something that other people might want to hear as well. We do a lot of things together, but we also do a lot of things separately. We're in different careers fields and we have some different hobbies. We don't … Continue reading Level Up a Relationship
Allow Room for Growth
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
Goals for 2024
Happy New Year! 2023 is officially done and we are starting 2024! This is the time for new ideas, goals, and resolutions. 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
