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”

Beauty from Ashes
I have a whole new perspective on life. Before I sat in the judgment seat, not the one being judged, but the one judging. That’s hard to say, but it’s true. I think we all find ourselves in that seat every once in awhile. But I think I sat there because I didn’t understand. Continue reading “Beauty from Ashes”
Truth Be Told
There is something cleansing about writing. It kind of releases something in me that allows for the real me to shine through. A post from last year popped up and I took a minute to read it. I think when I wrote it I cried, but reading it a year later it brought a huge smile to my face. I saw myself, I saw my heart and where it was a year ago and I just smiled because of how much my heart has grown since last year. How much I have learned about myself. How much I still have to learn. Continue reading “Truth Be Told”
BOR-ING
Spring break is right around the corner and recently my new six year old thinks life is boring. Haha! You know when you’re in the car and all you hear is, “Are we there yet?”, “How much longer”, “I’m hungry!”, “I have to go the bathroom”, “I’m bored!” I always have to tell myself, Erin be patient, just kidding. I know you can be overwhelmed, and you can be underwhelmed, but can you just ever be whelmed?? (name that movie). Continue reading “BOR-ING”
Fight Stagnation
This is something I have heard for years. And something I was very conscious of when it came to work. Getting a job right out of college two weeks after my mom died I had something to prove. I chose to work in the same school district as her and for that reason I felt like I had to make a name for myself. I couldn’t ride her coat tails forever and so I set out to work hard and show the world who Erin was. Continue reading “Fight Stagnation”
Tap, tap, 1, 2, 3,
Is this mic on? I want to acknowledge something. I know around these parts, on my blog and in my life I have shared my beliefs. Some may call it my soapbox, others, call it a platform, and then there is the buzz word influencer (I don’t by any means think I’m doing any such things). I like to call it sharing my heart. Call it what you want this is what’s going down around here. So if it doesn’t strike your fancy or you’re uninterested I highly recommend you stop reading right now and mosey on back to your regularly scheduled feed. And if you’re still interested go ahead and click the read more tab…go ahead I’ll meet you on the drop down. Continue reading “Tap, tap, 1, 2, 3,”
Ch- Ch- Change
Time for some honesty. Not the kind I unleashed last year, but plain and simple honesty. Change is hard. Change is hard to see. Sometimes I feel like I haven’t really changed (physically speaking). I feel like I’m the same person on the outside I was a year ago and then I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror and I see it. I really see the changes. Continue reading “Ch- Ch- Change”
Time
Time, I did a little research on time, here’s what I found…
“Time is free, but it’s priceless. You can’t own it, but you can use it. You can’t keep it, but you can spend it. Once you’ve lost it you can never get it back.”
–Harvey MacKay
“Time is very slow for those who wait. Very fast for those who are scared. Very long for those who lament. Very short for those that celebrate. But for those that love, life is eternal.”
–William Shakespeare
Don’t say, “There’s still time.” or “Maybe next time.” Because there’s always the concept of “it’s too late.”
–Unknown
“Time heals what reason can not.”
–Unknown
My experience with time is intimate. My feelings about time are deep. It continues to march on, with or without you. Heck you better make the most of it. I have learned time is precious and fragile. Continue reading “Time”
Roots
I found myself at the Asian market yesterday and as I walked through the doors I was smacked in the face with a whole lot of emotions I didn’t expect. I was instantly flooded with the thoughts of my grandma. Continue reading “Roots”
Real Love
Picture perfect. We all have these ideas of what is picture perfect for our life. We all have this dream of what our life should look like and what we expect it to look like. We try to navigate every day to achieve that dream. I finally stared those dreams and ideas straight in the eyes and just laughed. At the end of the day they are just a figment of our imagination. This year I had to let go of so many of these false expectations and ideas of what should be, or should have been. Continue reading “Real Love”
