Life…is crazy sometimes

My deepest apologies to my readers – life truly IS crazy sometimes, and this past year has been no exception! So much has happened that it’s almost impossible to catch you up on everything, but in a nushell: my boyfriend and I moved into our own place, I have maintained employment at an area casino

Body Positivity & Self-Love…

When I was a young girl, I was adorable and small. Feisty and athletic. I grew up in a hilly city in suburban western Wisconsin where the best ways to get around were on bicycle, roller blades, or your own two feet. In the 80s and early 90s (the 1900s, for all you young folk),

Surround Yourself With Positivity

I’ve been working on myself the last few months and one of the best things I’ve done for myself has been to surround myself with positivity. I have been sharing and posting little tidbits of positivity everywhere on my Twitter account and wouldn’t you know it? Positive people seek other positive people as much as

Still plugging along… don’t mind me

Forgive me for taking that extremely long hiatus, but things have been… interesting, to say the least. I am the only responsible party for neglecting my blog and for that, I am sorry. I never wanted to abandon my site, but the past several months have been a blur in what turned out to be

Psych Evaluation “Fun”…?

I’ve been intentionally quiet in recent weeks, but be assured: I am alive and kicking! I’ve been quiet because I received my psych evaluation, after an uncomfortably long waiting period. It could have been a literal week, but even a day feels like eternity when you’re anxious for results. (I may have been born extremely

Being Inspirational

Have you ever been told by someone you know that you’re an inspiration?  How did it make you feel?  Was it by just one person, or maybe two, or even twelve?  Perhaps you’ve been told so many times throughout the course of your life that you’ve lost count.  Did you internalize these compliments and believe

Be kind, Humankind!

I am sure some of you have been wondering why I haven’t posted anything new to my blog in over a week, but I have been busy doing some introspection, working on some personal growth goals, following some live streams of the protests…and crying.  I have shed more tears for a man I’d never met

Taking Notes & Smashing Goals

Sunday had been an uplifting day.  I woke up a little later than I had anticipated, likely because I had stayed up a little later than normal the night before.  For a third day in a row (I think), I didn’t wake up with a headache.  When I got up and ventured out of my

Mother Teresa’s heart

Inspiration really does come at the right time, and for me it’s often when I think I have nothing to write about. When I set off to start this blog entry, I found myself looking at this piece on my wall that I absolutely LOVE! I have looked at this every single day and often

Chaos Control: Part Two

First, a warning for those closest to me (again): Forgive me, but I’m NOT about to apologize for being truthful with the world, but I AM sorry if this entry is tough for you to read!  Feel free to skip over anything you don’t want to know about me.  I won’t hold it against you!
