• Freewrite Sunday

      Today is Sunday! Sunday sometimes has a hastag associated with it. #sundayfunday or #selfcaresunday This Sunday, I’ve had a smidge of both. #SundayFunday I volunteer in my church in a couple of areas but today I spent time in the nursery with the older toddlers (19 months to 23 months). This group of 1 year olds are quite a fun bunch. They are walking, dancing, playing, high-5ing, and started to talk and sing which makes praise time a truly fun time with this group. Also, for those that know me well…I’m a couponer! I promise I am not extreme but I do have a binder and I learn/subscribe to…

  • Planning

    Lately, I’ve been thinking about the future and making plans for it. I shared previously that among my top strengths is Futuristic. So I am constantly thinking about the future. I am the girl that makes 5 and 10 year plans. They don’t always go according to plan but it helps me to have a goal/vision in sight. Generally, I have success or a variation of it that comes from the plan. I typically do this in my work life and was recently asked about what’s next in my personal life. It was a valid question and one I think worth answering but not necessarily one I felt equipped to…

  • Journal Prompts via Grit & Virtue

    I shared previously that I hope to move forward with some journal prompts for my blog posts. A blog that I subscribe to Grit & Virtue and when they send out an email to their subscribers it is always something that is meant to inspire and uplift no matter what we may be going through and recognizing that we are not alone. I really appreciate the emails from them as it includes an encouraging note, some articles that are related to the topic at hand, and then my favorite journal prompts for the month. Here is the prompts for this past month of June which will guide my next few…

  • 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…

  • Inspiration via Broham

    Inspiration and motivation to achieve your dreams may come from various things or people. Today, I had the opportunity to talk to my younger brother (aka my broham) who truly inspires me because he is quite passionate about his talent and pursuing his many dreams. Apparently this dreaming thing runs in the family. My brother and I are 5 Years, 6 Months, and a day apart. We shared a room practically his whole life until the point I left for college. Needless to say we are close despite the age and varying interests differences. I’ve always felt that he would become some great storyteller and potentially create something like the…
