The Holidays
It’s only June. Summer hasn’t even officially started yet and here I am longing for autumn. For some reason, I really wish it was October already. I want it to be spooky season again. With the pumpkins on the porch and the leaves falling and the evenings being cool and breezy. Scary movies on tv,… →

Not Good, Just an Improvement
Songs can have varying effects on mood. I think any song is capable of doing something to how somebody feels. It takes a truly good song to change your mood into a good one. Sometimes moods are negative–sad, angry, melancholoy–and if the mood is strong enough, even your most favorite song is not going to… →

Fears and Hard Things
There are some fears I have overcome and some I haven’t. My deep and real fear of spiders? That one is staying where it is. Not because I like being afraid, but because there’s no way to get rid of it. I do recall being afraid of thunderstorms that would come up in the middle… →

Like a Toddler in a Super Hero Cape
Self-confidence, honestly, I think is something you are born with. You have it until something takes it away. I remember being out-going and totally happy with who I was all the way up until I was done with the 6th grade. I was living in the same place as I had since I was 4.… →

“Heal the World, Make it a Better Place”
Given that I try to keep politics out of my posts, this question is hard to answer. I believe with my whole heart that there is a lot of horrible things happening in the world right now with a lot of it happening in the United States. I don’t think what’s happening in our country… →

Minimalism, But With More Stuff
Before I get into my belief in minimalism, let me make sure I’m understanding what it actually is. Google says it’s a lifestyle and philosophy focused on intentional living, prioritizing what really matters, and removing excess possessions and distractions to create space for purpose, freedom, and personal growth. Ok, I can get behind that. It… →

Super Sweet 16
Long before Mtv had that show “My Super Sweet 16″…actually, long before they stopped playing music videos, I digresss…long before their show portraying hideously spoiled 15 year olds prepping to turn 16, I myself turned 16 years old and despite how rough and traumatic my high school years were, mostly due to my father, he… →

Whose car is that?!
I didn’t go on a walk today. I recently traded in morning walks/runs for walking/running on the treadmill at the gym. However, I did walk to my car this afternoon, and while this isn’t an actual picture of the car we’re obsessed with (because taking a real picture would be weird), it’s a good representation.… →

Vehicles, Tattoos, and Pets
An unlimited budget, huh? This is kind of like those questions about what you would do if you won the lottery. These answers have to be a little more creative since there’s only 24 hours. Can’t get contractors and repair men out to make all the renovations and upgrades to our house that are needed… →

It Was Perfect, Come Fight Me
This is going to be a controversial opinion…perhaps unpopular. My former secretary will absolutely disagree with my answer, but…let’s talk about the Stranger Things finale. *Spoilers ahead, so don’t read if you’re late to the Stranger Things bandwagon and haven’t watched the last season yet. My secretary was too in the weeds with the details,… →
