Stay in your lane

I love the phrase "stay in your lane". No one enjoys having their toes stepped on, and this statement is a fun way to say back off. However, this idea can be applied to our thoughts as well as our actions. When we are worrying about something, it is because we are not in our…

Acceptance

Today I am working on acceptance. I am focused on making the best of each moment today. Not every day will be perfect, but what you do with that fact is extremely critical. Whether you are feeling under the weather or you are just overwhelmed, acceptance is critical. To move forward and stay positive, you…

Expecting the worst

Many say to plan for the worst and hope for the best. I can honestly say that I am guilty of thinking this way. It seems like a nice thought at first and rational to plan for the worst so that you do not get your hopes up. However, many times preparing for the worst…

Have Fun

We all know that life is what you make it, but are you making it fun? Are you actually trying to enjoy every ounce this life has to offer? I know, I know, this is hard to remember to do when your nose is to the grindstone, and there is work to be done, but…

Blank Page

I love writing. I love starting with a blank page and letting my mind wander. I can only imagine that artists feel the same way with a blank canvas. This empty space is a place for me to express myself freely. It gives me no boundaries or rules. Writing on a blank page provides me…

Positive Self-Talk

In 2016 I completed a full marathon. This was one of the most difficult things I have ever done in my life. Most people think that the hardest part is the toll it takes on your body, but I strongly disagree. I trained for this race for 6 months, entirely by myself. I find that…

What I’ve learned from Journaling Every Day.

When I left my full-time job almost 2 months ago, I purchased a “One Line A Day” journal to track my journey through self-employment. For those who have never heard of this type of journal it is designed with only a few lines for you to write each day and is set up to span…

#WednesdayWisdom

How to find peace in chaos We all want to be happy and at peace, right? This is so easy to do when we have clarity and simplicity in our lives. However, I am almost certain that no one’s life is simple and easy day after day. Most days are jam packed with to do…

Bad Days

DON’T CAMP THERE. It is no secret that some days are just tough. Some days you wake up and have gained a pound or you spill coffee on yourself when you are already running late. How you let that affect the rest of your day, though, is what matters. You are allowed to be frustrated,…

How do you eat an elephant?

KEEP MOVING FORWARD. Today I am feeling empowered and ready to take on the world. My husband and I have an insane number of things to get done before we can even make progress on our business venture, but I am feeling overwhelmingly positive. While we both have moments where we become overwhelmed by the…
