Everyone needs an “About Me”

Everyone needs an "About Me" section in their life. Celebrities and presidents have biographies and so often the "average" person hardly knows themselves. I don't need a biography, but it can be fun to write about yourself. Sometimes writing about yourself for others to see help you understand more about yourself. PLUS, it's so fun…

Soul sparks

It’s a real thing and all too often we feel so depleted in our souls. We crave that soul spark more than we realize because we are too often caught up in the everyday clutter and storms. Our souls become a storm and stir up so many emotions. I swear I can see and understand…

I wish I didn’t care so much

I wish I didn’t care so much about what everyone thought and how everybody felt. I always just want everyone to be OK and not get so stressed. Maybe it has to do with the fact that sometimes I feel stressed or out of control and I don’t want anyone else to feel that way.…

Dear sweet girl, you are SIX

As I write this letter to you, I am giving you all my emotions, all my love, all my feelings and all my heart. I don’t expect you to read this at six years old, nor do I expect you to understand. But I do hope that one day you can read this and feel…

I need directions

My daughter is almost 6 and I always knew she was strong willed from the womb. She’s always been a leader, likes to have control, knows what she wants, needs melatonin to sleep, has a ton of energy, thrives with routine and structure, needs to be stimulated and loves to talk and sing- at home.…

You Saved Me

I’ve always struggled with anxiety, but I can’t remember struggling with it as a kid. I do remember feelings of sad and other smallish feelings but none of them felt like big feelings of anxiety. I remember my anxiety started in high school and then trickled into college where it got worse and I felt…

Dear Hudson, You are FOUR

Dear Sweet Boy, You are such a blessing to my life and I love watching you grow, but as I always say, it breaks my heart at the same time. Do I pray for you to stay little? Or do I pray you won’t ever struggle or feel pain? I live my life for you…

My Underdog

My little underdog is my love story. He's my easy-going, chill temperament, feels like home, calms me down, cuddle bug, non-complainer, into everything, obsessed with cars and all things fire trucks, full of energy loves his "Ani", sleeps on Daddy, loves him mommy, sweet and kind-hearted, could care less if he plays alone, does whatever…

Grace

I’m not perfect. I’m not quite sure anyone is or supposed to be for that matter. I’m sure people think they are or strive to be, but I hate that word. We are all human and we have strengths, flaws, interests, talents, things we suck at, etc. But let’s dive a bit deeper. How many…

Breathe it in, run it out

I didn't discover running until after college really. I used to run for cheerleading as we ran through campus cheering our hearts out, but now that I think of it, we were just annoying. I was huffing and puffing, had way bigger boobs, ate Ramen noodles and drank pineapple juice and Malibu frequently. But as…
