Falling into place

I thought about something yesterday while I was working out. I thought about how my oldest would be starting Kindergarten in a day, and how quickly that time came. I thought about a blog post I wrote back in the fall of 2016, all about reminiscing on the fall season and all that it brings. …

Opinions of others.

How much value do you put into the opinions of others? It's ok, I won't tell, how much? I would love to be the person that says "none." That can confidently say my happiness would never rely on the approval of others. However, that would be a lie. I have gotten better in terms of …

Blog to 2019 Day 3: What I learned from Running.

Blog to 2019 Day 2: How to be unapologetically yourself?

How to be unapologetically yourself? By far one of the toughest questions I've ever been asked. By someone who I really admire. I asked people on Instagram the other week if they had any advice for me. This was the first question I got. It definitely left my puzzled. What does it even mean, to …

Advice to my younger self.

If I could, I would give my younger self a lot of advice. Advice that I knowingly wouldn't want to hear. You see...it may be hard to believe..but as a child I was very stubborn. Shocker I know. I would roll my eyes to almost anything my parents told me to do. But they shouldn't …

Living in my comfort zone.

I really didn't feel like writing today. Not because somethings wrong. I just thought I didn't have anything to write about. I was trying to think of something life changing or motivational that I could pull out of my pocket and share with anyone who reads this. I think I was making it too complicated. …

You fall, you get back up.

Oh how I love Sunday's. Mine are usually very simple. I don't set my alarm and let Ian decide when it's time to get up. Make a cup of coffee. Or two. Ian eats. We plan dinners for the week. I tidy up the house. We do laundry. Get stuff ready for lunches during the …

How to live your best life.

What can you do or change to focus on your own well being and live a more balanced life? What is the definition of a balanced life? The question that I think needs to be answered first before I start thinking on how to focus on living a more balanced life. What do I think …
