Dream

Being an entrepreneurial-minded person, I tend to have a lot of ideas. My mind is full of dreams for myself and the life I want to create for my family and me. As I continue to think of ways to make a greater impact while fueling my passions, I find my mind drifting off and…

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…

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…

Where are you?

Where are you? Where are you in life, your relationships or your headspace? How do you feel in this place? These questions are often ones we avoid.

I look at life and want practicality and facts to back my decisions. However, those decisions are often calculated risks. I think Will Smith is right in this statement, but I think…

Dreams

“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. Just the other day we were discussing all the possibilities for growth and development within our business. While we both look…

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…
