Learning to Forgive and Forget

Do I easily forgive or hold a grudge? I’ll be honest; depending on what it was that made me upset in the first place, I have the tendency to hold a grudge sometimes. I am definitely one who will forgive but never forget, and I’m not proud of it sometimes. I know that forgiveness is…

Do You Have Magical Thoughts?

If you're a fan of Insecure, then you were tuned into episode 2 this past Sunday night. In that episode, you see Molly begin to open up more to her therapist, and she starts to list all of the things that "should" be happening in her life. When Dr. Pine realizes this, she immediately clues…

Live Every Moment as if it Were Your Last

If I only had 6 months to live, how would I spend my time? I'm not going to lie, I actually skipped this question because it was not really something I wanted to write about; but I told myself that I wouldn't skip any questions no matter how difficult they may be or may make…

Self-Care Sunday: Hydration, Hydration, Hydration

I’m going to keep it simple this week and take a page out of one of my favorite podcast’s books, The Friend Zone.  For the wellness segment this week, Fran talked about how she began drinking 3 liters of water and raved about all the positive benefits just one extra liter of water gave her daily,…

#50Days50Questions: Big Money Dreams

If I had a million dollars, how would I spend it? With that much money, I have no clue. Lol. I know I would obviously pay off unnecessary debt, save money for my daughter's future, buy a nicer car and a really nice house. Other than that, I have no earthly idea what I would really…

Self-Care Sunday: Managing the Stress Levels

Here’s something that I know we all can agree we’ve dealt with at least on a daily basis in one way or another: STRESS. I honestly couldn’t have written this post at a more critical time in my life, because my stress levels have been higher than usual lately.  Whether it be from everyday life circumstances, job-related…

#50Days50Questions: Happy is….

What and who makes me happy? My daughter’s laughter.  My husband’s unconditional love and support.  My mother’s tough love.  My sister’s strength and faith.  My grandmother’s presence.  My nephews resilience.  My best friend’s support. My endless collection of books.  My favorite set of G2 pens.  My notebook.  My USB flash drives (even though my best…

Always Remember Life Gets Better 

I read this affirmation this morning: “My life is getting better everyday” So many times we let the negative things get in the way of the simple fact that waking up in the morning gives us the opportunity to do better than we did the day before.  We let yesterday’s struggles flow into the next…

#50Days50Questions: Cross that Off the Bucket List! 

What is something that I want to do but have not done? Good question; I would say travel more. I want to see more of the world, and I want to take the kid along for the ride.  I want to be able to say that I’ve allowed my daughter to see different parts of…

Self-Care Sunday: Getting Organized

For the last couple of weeks, I have been feeling a little off, and part of that is because my life has been a bit chaotic and a complete mess!  I feel like most days I am running around like a chicken with my head cut off and I don’t know what to do!  With…
