Believe in yourself

It is nice to have support and people believing in you, but the reality is that you will not have that support day in and day out. You will have moments when you feel like you are surrounded by people cheering you on and moments when you feel all alone. Today I am feeling all…

Curiosity

Are you curious? Do you let your curiosity guide you as you did when you were a child? I think we are told somewhere along the way, growing up, that curiosity is not good. After all, “curiosity killed the cat” right?! I love feeding my curiosity. In fact, I would say that I let it…

Millennial

I am a millennial. I have not always loved this label, but I am coming to understand the redeeming qualities of my generation. While there are stereotypes and things that people my age or generation do that I am not proud of, I am proud of who I am. I am the product of the…

Good in every day

“Every day may not be good… but there’s something good in every day.” - Alice Morse Earle I can relate to this quote today. I am feeling run down and just doing my best to get through today. I would not call this a particularly good day, but there has been some good. Some days…

1 Year

Struggling to be unapologetically me

There is no question I am blessed. While my blessings have no doubt come with loss and hard work, I am fortunate nonetheless. However, I have a lot of guilt. I struggle with this guilt, internally, every day. I feel guilty for being able to have my own business and work from home. I feel…
