People Change, Get Over It
Thoughts on Mental Health Thursday I have changed over the past two years. I have written about it extensively on this blog. People change. Not always for the better, but in my case, it was a very good thing. Yesterday, a friend of mine who still works at the place I left two years ago… →

5Ws Wednesday–Who am I again?
Is your life today what you pictured a year ago? This is a perfect question for today. We’re all in the reflective, looking back mode as we get closer to the new year. For me, while my life has greatly changed over this past year, I honestly don’t know if this is how I pictured… →

Outgrown
Are there any activities or hobbies you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time? My hobbies have remained pretty consistent throughout my life. I learned to crochet when I was a single-digit age and still like to do it. I’ve since added knitting to the list with plans to start spinning fiber into yarn in… →

Senior Year vs. Now
I’ve written before about going back and reading all of my journals. I’m doing something important with them. But in order to do that, I had to get all of them out of the foot locker/trunk that I have kept them in since I first went to college. In that trunk was a collection of… →
