    Sharing stories about hard things can change lives

    It’s been a long while since I’ve had a good cry. Tonight it happened. Just a bit ago I rode home with my husband because I felt too tired to drive my own vehicle home.. after a little necessary shopping and a nice dinner. A conversation about the possibility of ever weaning off of Zoloft…

  • Painting my world

    Painting my world

    Some may say it’s tedious. My mom always has said, it’s therapeutic! Painting is the word. At this given time my canvas is wood! I am imagining our new-to-us home painted freshly.. just as we have planned. I have never been the girl that says, I can’t! Other than saying, I can’t live without improvement…

  • Nevermind

    Nevermind

    Nevermind the stress and hard parts! Nevermind anything that makes you forget who you are! Nevermind the distractions in the world. Nevermind anything that seems blurred. Nevermind anything that takes away from your focus! Nevermind the experiences that felt hopeless! Nevermind the poison.. find your antidote. Nevermind those that make you feel like you can’t…

    You’re the one you’ve been waiting for!

    While having a conversation with my last client yesterday.. a dear, sweet twenty-some year old, it came up in conversation that we can change at any point in life!

    Fight with a Happy Heart

    Fight the battles and challenges of each day with a happy heart! You can feel defeated and still choose a happy heart. You can be struggling and still choose a happy heart. I have experienced some really hard parts in my journey. I refuse to sweat the small stuff. I would rather focus on the…

    Get busy loving life!

    It’s easy to sometimes feel overwhelmed and anxious about all we have to do. Although, it’s important to keep life balanced! I am thinking of Alabama’s song, I’m In A Hurry. I definitely don’t want to rush until life’s no fun.. so instead I am gonna embrace the challenges and keep pressing forward~ while having…

  • Remember that you once dreamed of being where you are now!

    Remember that you once dreamed of being where you are now!

    As we start the process of moving countryside today.. to our next adventure, I can’t help but think about how this was once our dream and goal! My gosh~ I remember when having a car with air conditioning was a big deal, or a garbage disposal and ice maker. Then, on to being able to…

  • Don’t Quit

    Don’t Quit

    My life is feeling a bit like the introduction of the poem, Don’t You Quit. .. “When things go wrong, as they sometimes will. When the road your trudging seems all uphill.” I am sure I am not the only one who feels like they can handle a lot. And then all of the sudden…
