June G&V Prompts – Part 3
Where are their opportunities to connect and encourage someone? At checkout, the copy machine, during a playdate, after you put your kids to bed? In the midst of heading to and from meetings, while I grab my lunch or encounter a campus visitor. I am learning that these prompts are all about making every moment count, not necessarily to get a to do list item done but to be a member of the community I am in and to have a positive impact in the lives around me. How can you change your focus on some of these tasks in your day to see them as purposeful opportunities to encourage…

Freewrite Sunday
I think today is a freewrite kind of day. This past month I have taken in quite a lot of information as I try to make moves for the next step in life and getting back on track to my dreams. I believe that is very useful and that I will forever be a learner. However, sometimes you need a moment to stop and just process or better yet reflect on everything. Today’s post is quite short so that I can take a moment to just reflect on what I’ve learned and plan accordingly about the next step. If you’ve been following along lately, you may have noticed that I…

Dream Planning & God
I mentioned in the Niche post my personal mission statement and I am so excited that this coming week I am getting to help my own momma set some plans in motion to go after her dreams!!! Be expecting more information in the near future about what she has in store. On another note… Lately in the midst of trying to go after my own dreams, I’ve had some negative reactions over minor things that honestly should not upset me. I’ve had to come to terms lately that there are quite a few things beyond my control and in trying to let go of those, I put a lot of…

My Niche
Niche… As defined by the google dictionary is an adjective that means denoting or relating to products, services, or interests that appeal to a small, specialized section of the population. You may be wondering about the random word of the day definition given above. Well as I mentioned previously, this .com experience is a new one for me and I am so beyond pumped about it. However in most, if not all, of my research plus you know talks with those close to me (cue:looks at significant other) you must have your niche to make it out in the blogging world. Things like parenting, travel, food, fashion, and general lifestyle…

Journal Prompt: 16 Questions – Question 15
Question 15: If you were to walk through your home and put your hand on every single thing you own, how many of them would make you sincerely feel happy or at peace? Why do you keep the rest? Definitely, a few things but not everything. Most things in my home do have a memory or story attached which is why I keep them. Some items I do not have a rhyme or reason for keeping but I don’t seem to let go. Sometimes I think it may be because I think there will be a purpose for it in the future or it can be useful for someone else.…

Journal Prompt: 16 Questions – Question 14
Question 14: If you really believed you didn’t have control over something, you’d accept it as a matter of fact. What do you struggle to accept that you have “no control” over? What part of you makes you think or hope otherwise?Current situations that are beyond my control pertaining to my loved ones are ones that I struggle to accept whether they be health-related or status-related. I hope otherwise mostly because the situations are unfortunate and sucky and I want better for the people involved. I wish I had a say or could help more so but I’d like to keep a positive hope for the future. I also have…

Journal Prompt: 16 Questions – Question 10
Question 10: Who from your past are you still trying to earn the acceptance of? I am not sure how this is going to sound but at first no one came to mind and then as I thought about it…it’s me. As a young girl, I had very big dreams and plans for my life (and still do). I had set certain dates and deadlines to achieve things that I have not quite achieved yet from my young girl perspective and in all honesty I think lately now more than ever I would really like to make her proud. I’d like to believe she (me) is proud of me and…
