Summer has been good and we’re getting ready to start another school year, cue tears. Something that summer brings is insecurities and self deprecating thoughts. I often forget how powerful our words are. They really can breath life or perpetuate death. So what about the words I speak to myself? Continue reading “Whatchu Sayin’”

Take out the trash!
You know when you’re on an airplane and they’re going over the safety instructions…and they get to the part about your oxygen mask. I wise woman told me the same advice, to put on my own oxygen mask, before assisting others. It’s safe to say you can die trying to “save” others, when in all actuality you can only control your own actions. Continue reading “Take out the trash!”
Bow Down
This past month has been one big party. We have celebrated graduations and three birthdays. I’m just catching my breath. But even during all this time my thoughts and mind have been pondering a few things. Continue reading “Bow Down”
Strike a pose
Can we talk about fashion for one second?…Ok so I just caught myself thinking why in the world did I buy this shirt. Now it’s a shirt that has been retired to the pajama section, but non the less I wondered allowed why did I buy this shirt and instantly thought, “girl you were trying to cover up so much with that shirt.” Continue reading “Strike a pose”
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”

In the Details
I come from a profession highly focused on behavior modification, but before you modify a behavior you have to determine the function. Taking a look back I think about my behaviors and I ask myself, why, why did I do that? Continue reading “In the Details”
Ugly as Sin
In my adult life I have only had English Bulldogs as a pet, three boys to be exact. Owning bulldogs in general comes with a whole host of comments. Most of the time we couldn’t walk them without someone stopping and asking to pet them. Or take pictures of them. But on occasion we would get the comment only a face a mother could love or they are as ugly as sin, OUCH. I mean to each their own, but sin, really, sin is pretty ugly and I personally don’t think my boys were ugly. I happen to think they were pretty handsome. Continue reading “Ugly as Sin”
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”
