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… Continue reading Pretend
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.

“Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground.” —Theodore Roosevelt My husband and I love to talk about the future and the potential for our business and life as a whole.

Waiting on the other shoe to drop
I had a realization yesterday while listening to a sermon at church. My pastor was preaching about “enough” and he talked about how God has us and we are enough with his love on our side. I have enjoyed this sermon series, but one particular point resonated with me yesterday. He talked about how when… Continue reading Waiting on the other shoe to drop
