Good out of pain

I have thought a lot about my "life purpose". I know that it will change and that we are not necessarily meant to have one single purpose in life. However, at this moment in my life, I am finding that it is in times of struggle that we find our purpose even if it is…

The Loneliest Battle

I am in the middle of the loneliest battle of my entire life. While my husband is on this journey with me, there is no possible way for him to truly understand what I am going through. Infertility is a battle only women who have been through it can understand. We have been trying to…

Independent

I have always been pretty independent. While I am not an only child, I could entertain myself for hours growing up. I am also strong-willed. I am someone who will not take no for an answer if it is something I really want and will work to achieve the things in life that I desperately…

Change it up

I like to think I am not a super routine-oriented person. This may be because I can adapt; however, I am far more structured than I care to admit. I get up at the same time each day, I eat the same breakfast (as much as possible), and I get the same work done between…

Life Purpose

If you had told me growing up that I would be working for myself by the age of 27, I would not have believed you. Even 6 months before I quit my full-time job to pursue my own business I could not see how it would be possible. That's what I find so interesting about…

Control

We all want to be in control all the time right? We want things to go our way or not at all. The reality, however, is that life does not work that way. Having control is not something we get to choose. You either have it, or you don't. The good news is that you…

Pretend

“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.” - Kurt Vonnegut I really like this quote. I have never really thought about how and who we pretend to be as adults. To pretend is to act or envision ourselves as something we are not. In…

You know what to do

We like to tell ourselves that we don't know what to do. We get so caught up in the anxiety of actually making a decision that we convince ourselves that we have no idea how to proceed. However, we always know what to do. Think about a moment of crisis. Think about a time when…

Real or Make-believe

Distinguishing between what is real and what we are making up in our minds can be difficult. Working from home and for myself makes this a constant battle for me. I find myself believing that if I am not working 8 hours a day 5 days a week, then I am not doing a good…
