*Spoiler alert: You will care what others think of you. You just have to decide not to care that you care what others think. Does that make sense? It’s hard not to be self-conscious. So accept that you feel this way. Accept that you care what they think. But then don’t let it affect you.…
Does anyone else like driving backroads? I don’t know why I love driving backroads so much. Maybe it’s the idea behind. The idea that backroads are like an escape. I can just keep driving and driving until I run out of road. Maybe it’s my way of leaving without actually going anywhere. It doesn’t matter…
Well, I don’t know about you, but I am tired of the dating games. Tired of the swipes and the clicks and the flirty emoji’s and the not saying what you mean, but meaning what you say…like I don’t understand it and I’m so sick of it. Why can’t we be direct? Why waste so…
It’s that time of year again. It’s all about the “new year-new me” mentality. We strive to better ourselves, for what…a week? All before the failed resolutions come crashing down only to be revisited next January. Last year I decided it was ridiculous to be on the roller coaster of continuous failing to live up…
Sometimes I feel like I was born in the wrong era. Anyone else feel like that? I have such an old-soul and in the craziness that is life today, it often feels like I was meant for another time. A simpler time. Honestly, my dream is a slow life living on a farm somewhere with…
It’s going to be okay. It’s okay if the only thing you did today was get out of bed. It’s okay if the biggest step you can take is a step outside. You are still taking steps. You are on a path. It’s going to be alright. It’s okay if you’re unsure of your life…
I’m thankful for my family. I’m thankful for friends. I’m thankful for good health in a time when health isn’t a guarantee. I’m thankful for laughter and great memories. I’m thankful for a great job I never dreamed I would have. I’m thankful for a strong heart and a clear mind. Thankful for a heart…
Anyone else find their mind spinning a million times a minute these days? I mean, I guess my mind has always spun like this because, you know, I’m a chronic over-thinker, but the world today makes the “spinning” even more prominent. If you’re not emotionally affected on some level by what’s happening in the world…
After watching Clare Crawley find love on this season of The Bachelorette, I was left with one controversial question: Does love at first sight exist? Truth be told, there’s no simple answer to this question. But, as Clare watched Dale Moss step out of the limo, she knew immediately that she had met her husband.…
It’s holiday season! Which means, of course, it is also now officially the season of Hallmark. These are the days of holiday movies galore, dreaming of a white Christmas, and the cliche holiday romance trope. Because, I mean, who doesn’t love the idea of a “Hallmark man,” right? I already know how each movie will…
One of my favorite quotes is “Be you. The world will adjust.” My Grandpa used to tell me that the rest of the world will take care of themselves, you do what you need to do for you. I know that sounds a little narcissistic, but he didn’t mean it that way, and neither do…
What is prayer without action? Just prayer. Don’t we need to take action to get where God wants us to be? It’s not like he can magically lift us up and move us from POINT A to POINT B. He can show us where POINT B is, but don’t we have to step out in…
