Current time (10/24/2021 7:12 PM): I’m sitting in my kids’ room, on the floor, alone, crying, while I sort laundry. This job isn’t even mine, yet here I am. Not where I want to spend my Sunday night, but I almost knew at 7am it would end like this. Why does it feel like moms … Continue reading It was an Alexander (not the great) kind of day
If I am being honest, this last year was-one to remember. Part of me wants to call it a disaster, but there were a lot of good things too. For me, it has been the most mentally draining year of my life. I know, I know-it’s 2020/COVID, and everyone was struggling in some way with … Continue reading A rambling return…
One of my favorite things about New Year’s Eve is reflecting on the last year. This has been such a year of growth for me, but I can’t discount all that has gotten me here over the past decade since we are also rolling into a new one. I started the decade as a 20-year-old … Continue reading Oh, Hey 2020
If I could go back in time and talk to this girl, I would have so much to tell her. This girl was in the middle of a divorce. She was lost, and afraid to be alone. She wasn’t sure how she was capable of tackling this world alone. She did not know if she … Continue reading If I could talk to her
I apologize for the lack of writing or responding to things on here. I’ve just been in a really strange headspace lately, and I didn’t really feel like writing because I thought it would be a little bit darker than the way that I like to portray myself. I’ve been negative and “down” (that’s the … Continue reading Headspace
I was recently asked to share my story about how I have prevailed in some aspect of my life. This was shared on social media and I am so excited about the feedback I have received. I have made new friends in women that have reached out to talk, and connected with old friends who … Continue reading She Prevails
Play the hand you’re dealt, and trust that God is Sovereign. This was a small part of our church service yesterday. This was shared by our pastor from his friend’s social media post. At first you read this and you think “sure, great words to live by” but it turns out that this woman has … Continue reading Play the hand you’re dealt, and trust that God is Sovereign.
So tonight my youngest and I had our typical roller coaster of a night. Things we’re fine until bedtime. Really good actually. He came to snuggle with me on the couch and told me he loves me to the moon and back. I held him for a few, and gave him a few aggressive kiss … Continue reading 76 minutes strong
I’ve been so busy, I haven’t even had time to think about writing anything lately. I’ve had lots of fun events over the past month, and I feel so grateful for each and every moment. I’ll say the time period from February 22-March 22 of this year is the busiest I have been in a … Continue reading There is no point
I feel like so much of my life I’ve been waiting to “grow up”, or waiting for whatever is to come next that is supposed to be this ideal place in my life. I remember thinking when I was 16, “I just need to get through high school, college will be so much fun…” And … Continue reading When I grow up
