Wish Wednesday ~ keep your goals to yourself
When it comes to setting goals for yourself and reaching your highest accomplishments, it’s always best to keep it on the private side. You can certainly be somewhat public about it. A little bit of pressure is healthy. Such as, when I posted about my plans for writing every day, I knew that the expectation […]

Self-care Sunday ~ NOT OK IS OK
It’s okay to say that it’s not okay. It helps to take a step back and look at the big picture, see how our problems are tiny and irrelevant when you think about the planet, compared to the size of the sun, compared to the size of the solar system — the galaxy — the […]

Wish Wednesday ~ make a change
“I want to change my life” is a powerful phrase. It carries a lot of weight. If you want to see change in your life, think small before you think big. We crave change when things have either become too comfortable or too uncomfortable. We thrive best when we are balanced. The problem with change […]

Self-care Sunday ~ Teach yourself
You spend your first chunk of life in school, being forced to learn things that bore you and often seem purposeless. School is less about learning and more about conditioning you to detest learning. Multiple choice tests encourage shallow thinking. It counteracts second-guessing, reassessment, and reevaluation — all the things that open your mind to […]

Self-care Sunday ~ the soothing effect of pushing yourself

Wishful Wednesday ~ my dream home
Welcome to my dream home! I live in a log cabin mansion. This is what it looks like from the outside: There’s a back porch with a seating area… Here is my kitchen… It has an old-fashioned stove… This is the living room area… My bedroom with a breathtaking view… and many other spare bedrooms…

Self-care Sunday ~ an introduction
As much as you may hear about “self-care,” most people do not truly understand what it means, or the importance of it. Self-care means to take care of oneself, to acknowledge your needs, to check in with your mind and your body. On autopilot mode, we tend to live too deeply in our heads and […]

Angel
I’m wrapped around in puppet strings You tug on them and pull my wings I’m all wrapped up in heavy chains You tug and open Heaven’s gate You know I am free It’s how I choose to be Well lo and behold, I have been controlled! I’m wrapped around in puppet strings You tug on […]

Day 10: write about something for which you feel strongly
I went for a walk today (I took my cat out) and I remembered how nice it feels to be outside. And now it’s warm enough to go on walks again. I feel really strongly that it’s important to slow down and how it’s healing to be in nature. There’s so much busy and hectic […]
