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
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
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
I’ll start this one by saying: stick with me. I’m in a rambling mood and I don’t feel great. But here we go! Have you ever seen the movie The Butterfly Effect? Or I guess the more unlikely source is that you heard about it in regards to chaos theory? I doubt most of my … Continue reading The Butterfly Effect
I was recently asked a question about why I am single. I think it was literally “why don’t you have a boyfriend?!” As soon as it was asked I had chills. It was truly a question that made me think….for a while. And I didn’t realize how active I had been in making sure I … Continue reading It wasn’t you, it was me
Today was a very strange day, with a lot of small things that happened and made it a big-ish day. To explain fully, I have to backtrack a little bit to Friday night. My company had their annual Christmas party, and for the first time I took a date. (Okay, maybe now I feel like … Continue reading Little big moments
I’m trying this new thing where I am trying to be more direct and conscious with my words and actions. I am trying to be more aware of how I make people feel, and making them more aware of how I feel about them. It’s been about two months, and I’m probably the only one … Continue reading Direct and Conscious
Just recently I have become friends with someone I have somewhat known for about 4 years. It has been an interesting experience, because I am learning about their life, which for four years I imagined to be quite different. You see, you really never know what is going on with someone in their life. I … Continue reading Choose Kindness
