Location is Everything
What do you love about where you live? I appreciate this question being asked. It’s giving me the opportunity to try and think positively about where I live. Because truthfully, I don’t love it. I love my house, with the backyard up against the high school football field and the soccer practice fields. I love… →

Contentment
What positive emotion do you feel most often? Happy, excited, content, peaceful…this is a tough question today. Difficult only in the fact that I know how good I have felt lately, but I don’t know what word I would use to describe it. When I’m at work—aside from when I’m dealing with annoying situations—I feel… →

It’s Been…One Year
I hear that Barenaked Ladies song in my head as I’m writing this. The one they sang about how it’s been “one week since…”. Speaking of one week, this week has been exceptionally amazing. SO much I can and will write about (remind me to tell you about how “Lisa Simpson” talked to me on… →

We Plan, God Laughs
How do you plan your goals? I think the question today is worded poorly. I don’t plan my goals. Sometimes I just think of something I want to do. If I think about it enough times, I’ll eventually decide to make it a goal. Now, if the question asked, how do I plan to achieve… →

Me & Taylor
I accidentally posted something on Threads yesterday that took off in a way I absolutely never imagined! And by accident, I mean that I never intended for it to get such a big reaction. All I did was ask people on Threads where I should start if I wanted to give Taylor Swift’s music a… →

Emergency Plan? Really?
Create an emergency preparedness plan. I live in a part of North Carolina that’s prone to hurricanes. Not directly on the coast, but depending on the path of the storms and where they make landfall, we definitely get the effects. Sometimes pretty severely. In 2015, Hurricane Matthew combined with a cold front coming through and… →

Where Books and Movies Meet
Scrolling on Facebook was profitable for Amazon today. I came across a random post that was talking about this book. I’m in a Book Lovers group on there because I’ve been doing a lot more reading lately. The book here is going to be released sometime in October, so I (almost) immediately preordered it on… →

Words Are Words
What is a word you feel that too many people use? Words that “too many” people use are generational. If “too many” people are using a particular word, that means it’s popular. But I don’t think it will be popular forever. The word probably won’t go away but I don’t think it will be perpetually… →

Peace in My Spot
What brings you peace? Everything about today brings me peace. Well, almost everything. You know what I did for 90% of my time at work today? I sat in my office and got work done. I was even a tiny bit bored around 4:30. The summer program that I have been supervising since it started… →

Tainted Memories
Healing from trauma is amazing! When you are finally able to not feel the anxiety you once did when presented with a reminder of your trauma, it’s a very liberating feeling. Truly. But here’s something that healing does not do. It doesn’t actually take away the memories. And sometimes that just sucks. I feel like… →
