My dad likes to say that expression often and I remember sometimes hearing that would only further bother me and I would want to just roll my eyes because I would think to myself, sometimes it is just not that easy. But why is it that we want to hold on to feelings of frustration,… Continue reading Let It Go
It’s pretty amazing to me how one small little thought in our minds has the capacity to spread out all over the place like a meticulously created web that traps you in. My husband and I were talking about it this morning and he gave me a perfect example of exactly this kind of thought process. He said it’s like this Zen cast he had been… Continue reading Wandering Thoughts
It’s been a busy few days since I last posted and we got back from vacation. What I’ve been struggling with most is feeling so tired at times. Yesterday was my first day back at school and at the end of the day as much as I wanted to get started on a list of things I need… Continue reading Understanding Limitations and A Good Attitude
After a long day of travel my husband and I got home last night at 10pm, exhausted and so happy to walk through our door and get that feeling of home. I can’t even explain it but maybe some of you have felt it, it’s like a loving hug. Our flight from Paris to Los Angeles… Continue reading Traveling And Appreciating What You Have

Outside in our little patio there are… Continue reading Thankful For This Moment

Before I get started though I want to share a little bit about what led to the inspiration my brother triggered and thus reminded me about Sunday’s topic at Church. Last week I made plans with my brother… Continue reading Positive Influences
Today’s message at church was about restoring our relationships and purposefully seeking forgiveness. I was so moved by the words our Pastor spoke and as he closed his message and we prayed I had tears in my eyes. Maybe someone out there can relate and has a relationship that is torn or broken and when you think of that person you have resentment,… Continue reading How You Treat People Matters
Have you ever had one of those days where an overflow of emotions and tears seems to be just a blink away? Well this morning I nearly let my emotions get the best of me and the day could’ve easily turned into a disaster. After my husband left for class I suddenly became so overwhelmed, emotional, and… Continue reading Option A: The Gym, Option B: Emotional Breakdown
