Just Two More Days Til My First Semester at CSU-Long Beach

Once again I’m posting real late in the day so I’m going to keep this short. Today was my Walking Tour at CSU-Long Beach and my husband was able to join me. I’m so happy I did the tour because it definitely helped calm my nerves a little knowing where my classes are going to be. … Continue reading Just Two More Days Til My First Semester at CSU-Long Beach

Yes, things happen for a reason

Today is the perfect day to write about this topic. I truly believe that all things happen for a reason, even the difficult things. There have been so many moments in my life that while I was living through them they sometimes didn’t make sense, especially when they were painful or scary. In time though… Continue reading Yes, things happen for a reason

Feelings

Today has been a bit overwhelming. Between phone calls, deadlines, emails, and just little unexpected things that come up at work, and with personal stuff too, I’m feeling a little bit anxious and rushed. I know writing right now might set me back a little bit but honestly I need the little breather to regain focus and energy. I… Continue reading Feelings

“Write Something” A little inspiration for the writer in all of us

My husband just finished reading Atul Gawande’s book “Better”, which is all about the hospital world, and yesterday he shared a paragraph with me that instantly made me smile and reminded me to continue to believe in my writing, myself, and in my blog. It was just what I needed to read after going through some self doubt and… Continue reading “Write Something” A little inspiration for the writer in all of us

Enjoying Silence

I was thinking the other day how programmed we are to the different noises around us. The different sounds of our cell phone tell us whether we have a text, email, Facebook update, voicemail etc and often times we quickly react to that sound. But we don’t have a cue that reminds us to stop, silence everything, and just take… Continue reading Enjoying Silence

What a difference a day makes

I feel inspired again and couldn’t wait to get on here to write. It’s been such a great morning. The first thing I noticed when I woke up was this great burst of light coming through the bedroom window, and you know what that means. It’s going to be a bright sunny day in California! The… Continue reading What a difference a day makes

Some days are easier to write than others

I’ve been in a writing slump today. It’s not that I have writer’s block because I can think of some things I could write about, but the thing is I’m not feeling like I want to write about any of those things. I think it has more to do that I don’t really feel like writing, which is… Continue reading Some days are easier to write than others

A little help from Daily Post

It’s almost midnight and I’ve yet to submit my post for the day. Since I don’t have a lot of time to think up something I thought I’d use some help from Daily Post. Todays topic is ‘what are you looking forward to?’  At first I thought of some general things like the fact that… Continue reading A little help from Daily Post
