Be Thankful

I’ve missed writing and I wish I could say more right now but I’m so exhausted at the moment that all I can think of is rest. Just wanted to say I’m thankful for the ability to feel this exhaustion and where I am at this moment and that I’ll be falling asleep soon.

By Your Side

I was working on my data analysis homework when Sade’s song came on the radio and I instantly thought of my husband. I had to stop what I was doing and share this because if I’ve learned one thing in the last 24 hours is that some thoughts are so fleeting and cause such a… Continue reading By Your Side

Are we as a people so broken and experiencing such heartache, sorrow, and pain that we no longer know how to identify happiness even in the smallest of things? I’ve noticed in the past few weeks that often times when people bring up something in conversation it is seldom about positive events.

I had the house to myself for a little while and as I made a visit to the restroom with cell… Continue reading Santa Hustle Run

Grateful For Life

It’s such a beautiful day in sunny Southern California that you would think it is May instead of almost mid November. One of my favorite seasons is Fall, and while I would love to see more of those overcast cool days and more Autumn leaves, I can’t help but smile when the air is cool outside… Continue reading Grateful For Life

Remembering My Promise

I was thinking about a post I wrote a while back A Gift To Myself and decided to revisit my post and remind myself of the promise I made to be more gentle and kind to myself when it comes to my thoughts, especially now that I’m a new mommy. It’s pretty awesome to think that almost 9 months… Continue reading Remembering My Promise
