This morning is a new day. Blah, blah, blah. How many times have we heard that?! Sometimes I’ve wanted to yell in response, “SO???? It still sucks!” Have you ever had days like that where you were wallowing in the mud and positivity just felt like someone poking you with ice pick? Well, let me

What happened?
I was looking in the mirror this morning and said, girl, what happened?? Then as I stood there, I thought I’ve earned this face and this body as imperfect as they are. I can love it or hate it but I can’t get away from it, it is me. I then reminded myself that…
Lessons Learned
Lessons I’ve learned: 1. Respect everyone starting with you. Respecting yourself sure gives you understanding on how to love other crazy people. 2. Keep your mind open and give chance a chance. The one you don’t take may be the one to change your life or teach you what not to do next time! 3.
Self-soothe ice cream.
Forgive me, this is just a totally random CG thought…. This is in NO way a negative for parents who use this method (I guess it’s called a method?) and whatever works, to each his own I say! But the phrase ‘self-soothe’ simply makes me chuckle every-time-I-hear-it. I don’t know why. I don’t remember that
Hey Deep-Feelers.
Are you a deep feeler too? I’ll admit I’m also a little (or a lot)… sensitive, messy, sometimes dangerously perceptive (often to my detriment), and these days, I feel alive with feeling. The dark places I go to this day are painful and they can appear out of nowhere like they did this morning. I
If you can’t change it…
For many, many years I was addicted to Mary Engelbreit art. I love the bright colors and the youthfulness of everything she does! One day, in probably 1995, I came across this one in one of her planners. I fell in love with this image instantly and what it portrays and the words went on
Thoughts have power.
I don’t know about you but I have days in which this crazy mind acts like it wants to focus on my negative list instead of my positive list no matter what I do. Does anyone else do that? I’ll be saying, “Suck it up buttercup” while my brain is saying, “Yeah, but don’t forget
Not My Timing.
Good morning!! I hope you slept like a baby last night. I didn’t but I woke up too excited to sleep so I don’t mind getting up early when that happens! I am going to ask for prayers today! Nothing is wrong, something feels right, and I want so much to trust my heart, I
My list was…
Eat more donuts!!! There you have it, folks, easy peasy! Oh, wow, if only that were true!! Seriously, now (kind of). Since May 20, 2020, I am still down 9.6 pounds. The scales have lingered around that number for a few days which is frustrating! I equate my weight loss to bags of sugar so
I Want an Empty Cup!
I stumbled upon this quote recently and while I’ve heard it many times, it struck me so strongly. I thought about the irony of how I used to feel so empty. That emptiness caused me to feel useless, lost, hopeless… hollow. I thought I could fill it with things, with people, with activities, with work,
Beautifully Broken
I have a newfound love for the beach so much so it kind of shocks me. I used to think it was just uhh… too sandy and the water was scary (that part hasn’t changed much for me). I may have felt that way because I hated being in a bathing suit, because I had
There’s No Trophy.
I read an article a few weeks ago called, “There’s no trophy, Ashley.” It was powerful to me! It was based on being a new Mom but the moral applies to all aspects of life! I base this post on Ashley’s article, these are my own words, but I give absolute full credit to the
