I realized this morning that I have been working on my little passion project/book for an entire seven months now. That is a huge deal for me. I am the queen of starting multiple projects all at once, not focusing enough on either of them only to eventually give up. I have stuck to this project for six solid months. I’ve opened the document (almost) every day for roughly 210 days. Some days adding a sentence, other days 10 pages….
The beginning of 2020 has proven to be an interesting time. As I’ve mentioned in recent posts, I’ve been in a bit of a rut with my blog and honestly, a rut in my life in general. There are some things going on right now that I have no control of but affect me daily. I can admit that I’m the kind of person who needs to have a sense of control in my life and of course this is…
Happy Friday readers! 🙂 Today’s post is dedicated to journaling — why I started, how it is changing my life, and how to get started if journaling is something that you want to begin doing.

It’s a good thing — goals keep us going. However, with certain goals taking years to achieve, life can…

“The moment that you feel that, just possibly, you’re walking down the street naked, exposing too much of your heart and your mind and what exists on the inside, showing too much of yourself. That’s the moment you may be starting to get it right” – Neil Gaiman I came across this quote on Pinterest the other day and it really struck me. Vulnerability has been a theme in my life lately.

When my grandmother died, it destroyed me. She was my first real loss, and unfortunately for me, my first real loss happened to be one of the most important people in my life, one of the most influential. See, my grandmother was more than a grandmother. She was a major mother figure in my life and her relationship with me was based on true, unconditional love.
