Lately I’ve been feeling pretty good about myself. I’ve made attempts to smile more, stress less and prepare to embark on a new chapter in my life. It has not always been easy, but I feel like my pain will turn itself into love and reward soon. I’m continuing to build myself up on affirmations…

Blogmas 2020: Why I Love Christmas
Hello Blogmas fans! Today’s post will talk about the obvious; why Christmas is my favorite holiday! Out of all the holidays (with the exception of my birthday because I do consider that a holiday), I’ve always loved the spirit of Christmas. After Thanksgiving comes and goes, I go into full Christmas spirit and holiday mode….
Joy
Sometimes I listen to this when I need to remind myself when joy is possible and will come when the dark clouds are done hovering. 🖤 https://youtu.be/h2tbsMEpgHA
Smile More, Stress Less
Why do we stress more than we smile? Smiling is such a beautiful thing; it brightens a day, brings on a sort of refreshing and therapeutic atmosphere and it just feels good. So, why is it so hard sometimes to smile more than we frown? Is it because of life? Is it because the stress…
Don’t Let Comparison Steal Your Joy
I’m sure we have all heard the quote “comparison is the thief of all joy.” We as humans live in a world where comparison happens without knowledge. You see a person with a better job, better car, better house, etc. and sometimes we cannot help but compare our lives to others. What we don’t realize…
Self-Care Sunday Highlight: Laughter
The age-old quote says “laughter is good for the soul”, and I couldn’t agree more. Ask yourself, when is the last time you laughed? When is the last time something made you giggle uncontrollably. Also, ask yourself how you felt after you had a good, hearty laugh. Whenever I laugh, it’s like medicine to numb…

The Christmas Tag!!!
“Chestnuts roasting, on an open fire……” 🙂 So, today I’m feeling real holly and jolly today (possibly because of the Christmas party we are having at work today). As an extension of my holiday cheer, I am going to do the Christmas tag for you all! I will have the questions down at the bottom…
Loving Yourself Gets Hard, and That’s Ok.
Today, I was faced with an emotion that I haven’t felt in a long time; I wasn’t happy with myself. I was having a pretty bad day and beating myself up about it. I hadn’t felt this way in a long time; in fact, I had been in surprisingly great spirits lately about a number…
Hey Grandpa,
For a number of years I’ve written small dedications to you, in some form or another. Every year it seems that with a new accomplishment in my life, there’s a small sadness attached because you weren’t here to share in that joy. We are now in year 10, and my emotions still are all over…
