Sunday Coffee Discussion

I've been sick for a week and, thanks to the NyQuil, I haven't had much of a chance to think creatively. I often write about my days, but I'm always eager to read about yours. Pretend we were having coffee together (and maybe NyQuil as well). Don't worry, I'll keep my sickness at bay so …

Very Rough Start of My Book

Since I'm going to write this book as a memoir, I have to find a way begin again. Scrapping my previous pages wasn't as heartbreaking as I thought it would be, and I think that's because I knew the story wasn't as powerful as it could be. Here is a very rough draft of a …

Starting over again

Raise your hand if you believe that "starting all over again" gives you a negative feeling? Why do you think that is? Sure, starting back at the beginning can be burdensome, but it's not a bad thing. Sometimes, you just need a little more time, motivation and help. It took me years to figure this …

Songs that Inspire

Hey everyone and Happy Sunday! As I'm sitting here listening to Mozart, drinking my coffee and contemplating what I want to write about this morning, I thought it would be fun to discuss inspiration through music and see what songs inspire you. I know that can be a difficult question because you might have different …

A New You for New Years

With 2019 approaching, I am eager to see what the New Year has to offer. For me, 2018 has been rough! I think I can honestly say it's been one of the hardest years I've ever had...and that's saying something. Things that I'm glad to leave behind in 2018 are: gaining weight from my medsstruggling …

Little Accomplishments

Sometimes we need to take a step back and really appreciate the little accomplishments we have made. Life is hard, so why make it harder on yourself by judging every decision you make. Damn, I should have gone to the gym instead of going home after work. Why did I eat that additional pizza slice? …

About Time

Last night, my fiance and I were having a stressful day. In fact, we have been pretty stressed for months now due to our jobs, money, health, family, etc. So, he recommended we watch About Time, a movie that his mom showed us when we first started dating.I adore this movie and HIGHLY recommend to …

Enter to win a gift!

So it's Christmas time and I wanted to give back to all of you who have supported me throughout the year! I began this blog back in November 2017 and have realized that I spend more time on this blog than I do on any other internet site. It brings me so much joy, inspiration …

Believe in yourself

Since life is messy and sometimes unfair, I wanted to come on here to let all of you know that you are making a difference in someones life. You are all courageous individuals, who are willing to share your personal stories on here to help others. There might be a coworker, friend or family member …

Yesterday’s day 6

Yesterday, I did manage to work out for a little bit. Instead of actually going to the gym, my fiance and I decided to just go for a bike ride and a walk. It wasn't a super long one, but it was really nice to just spend some time together and enjoy the weather on …
