I’ve been off for 3 weeks and wrapped up 2019 with a lot of reflection. We didn’t travel much, but we spent oodles of time with family and lots of lounging around the house, cleaning and organizing. As we started 2020 I found myself being bold. I have made my resolve and plan to only pursue things that fill up my soul. Continue reading “In the Middle”

You do you boo
I’ve recently watched a special on Netflix from Brené Brown. If you’ve watched it you know she’s done research on shame, guilt, and vulnerability. Those are some tough words. I have had my fair share of struggles with those words. Have you? Continue reading “You do you boo”
Risky Business
I’ve noticed that I often operate from a place of fear. When I was a little girl I was always afraid of disappointing my parents. I always heard this saying, “there’s nothing wrong with a healthy sense of fear”, mostly in regards to raising children and discipline. Continue reading “Risky Business”
Faith in the Unseen
I had an eye exam the other day and it turns out I still need glasses. Never in life do you experience the need for both eyes then when they test each individual eye. I’m reminded two is always better than one. Continue reading “Faith in the Unseen”
That all too familiar feeling
I’m usually a radio girl. I still know the local radio station numbers. But today I found myself listening to a playlist and I noticed that before the next song came on I already knew the tune. I found so much comfort in knowing what was coming next, don’t we all? Continue reading “That all too familiar feeling”
I believe I can fly
I have this thought in my head…sometimes disappointments cast a shadow. There have been moments where I have found myself feeling like an event never happened and other times I find myself in the thickness of the hurt. Continue reading “I believe I can fly”
Strong & Independent
I was raised with the mantra “be a strong and independent woman”. And I truly believe that is exactly what I am. I know there is a huge feminist movement. I get it. I understand the injustice. And maybe on some levels I myself have experienced it. Maybe you have too. But it got me thinking… Continue reading “Strong & Independent”
Checks and Balances
I remember the day vividly, I made the choice to pick up the cape. I don’t know if I had any other choice, but a week after Grey was born I put it on and I haven’t taken it off. Today a sweet girl at the ice cream shop noted I looked like I was a “super mom”. Continue reading “Checks and Balances”
Powerless
I think I just hit the bottom. I mean I knew all along this day for me would come, I thought it had and maybe all the other moments were what lead me here. But it all boils down to this, I felt powerless. Continue reading “Powerless”
Fireproof
We’ve all heard it, it’s been in the news and all over social media. Me too. I wrote recently about beauty from ashes and confessed to how over the past year I struggled with feeling unworthy, not good enough and just wanting to feel something in the midst of pain. It was kind of a dark place to be, well at least for me it was a huge contrast to who I am by nature, which is pretty positive and bubbly. Continue reading “Fireproof”
