Have you ever thought about that? You’re still here… after the bad days, the rough times, the craziness of life… you’ve survived 100% of it. I think sometimes we just need to hear that. I know I do because not all days are great, not all weeks are great, not all months or even years are great. You have those times where… I don’t know, you lose your wallet. (Happened last week) Or you get into an argument with...
Happy Monday peeps! I was reading LeAnne and Steve Ford’s book Work in Progress this past week, and Chapter 4 starts out with this quote from Dolly, and I thought “What a great way to think!” (Oddly enough I recently visited Dollywood for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and then watched the Coat of Many Colors movie the other day… Dolly’s talking to me, y’all! 😆) For me, I want this to be the quote for...
It’s the first Monday of 2020, friends! Can you believe it? One of my resolutions for the new year is to get back to blogging regularly, which includes starting back up with my weekly Monday Motivation posts. So, today I’m kicking it off with the motivational thought “You are never alone…” which I got from the Longstreet Cafe sign in Gainesville of all places. In a world that is so connected (thanks to the internet/social media), it’s crazy how...
Time for another change… it’s crazy to think just how quickly the days go by. This time last year, I was in a low, low spot… searching for work in my field, for something new, for a real purpose… and now here I am a year later and find myself taking on changes once again, except this time I’m viewing it from a place of excitement and opportunity rather than fear and anxiety. In less than a week, I’ll...
Where is my worth? I don’t think we typically ask that question. We just unknowingly supply whatever answer seems to work for the moment. Our job, our bank account, our level of education, our following on social media, our salary… But is that really all we are? Just a title, a monetary figure, a piece of paper, a number? This past week, while on vacation, I picked up my phone to check out Instagram stories, and I came across...
1. Do it! If you have the desire and the drive to start a blog, there is nothing stopping you from doing it. You can create a site at no cost and customize it a lot of ways. Believe me, you voice is original and it’s important… so you should share it with other people. 2. Figure out your why I cannot stress this one enough. You must know why you’re doing what you’re doing. And this may take...
Hi peeps! Thanks for stopping by the blog today! This post is the first of a “series” coming this month that are all about my first year of blogging. It’s hard to believe that it’s already been a year since I started this online space of mine. I’ve grown and learned so much both about blogging and about myself. So, this series is dedicated to sharing some of that knowledge and defining the purpose of my blog! To begin, I’m...
What do you think about this concept: instead of worrying so much about pleasing everyone around us and proving our worth to others, why don’t we use that energy to work on ourselves? And I’ll follow that up with a second question: how is your worth defined? In today’s society we spend so much time searching for validation from others. We are focused on others opinions and what we can use to prove that we are liked whether that the...
