I don't know about you, but I would not be where I am without the support of the people within my circle. My friends and family provide me so much support. They lift me up in the bad times and keep me sustained in the good times. My brain likes to lie to me. It … Continue reading The Support of Good People
I don't know about you, but I'm not very good at asking for help. I like to do most things on my own and be independent. It's hard for me to admit that I need help. But I'm trying. I'm working on it. I'm also the kind of person that I ask for help as … Continue reading Asking for Help
I've done a post back in June 2021 about Setting Goals, and I talked about some of the aspects of today's post, but I want to address the idea of SMART goals. SMART Goals are so prevalent in the education world, but they need to be mainstream to everyone else too. They help you to … Continue reading SMART Goals
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.

But even though Thanksgiving may only be one day, you can practice this idea all … Continue reading Practicing Gratefulness

I use an app to meditate called Insight Timer (would absolutely recommend). Recently they had a 10-day course about setting boundaries. I agreed to do it, and it's putting a lot of things into perspective for me. Some of the things I had never even thought of before. So I want to share with you … Continue reading Setting Boundaries
I'm almost positive I'm not alone when I say ot feels like there's a lot on my plate. I have a lot that I need to balance and juggle. I also feel that once I let one thing go, my brain tells me I'm a failure and I start dropping other things. So then, when … Continue reading Sorting Out Priorities
This is the hardest blog post I've ever written and possibly the hardest one I'll ever have to write. I recognize that writing this may cost me some respect, followers, or even friends.
