At the beginning of the year, I was listening to a podcast about goals for the new year. They asked everyone to share their one word that represented what they wanted to accomplish for 2026. It made me think what my one word would be. Which word would I choose? When I started to … More Three Words, One Year: What I’ve Conquered So Far
The other day I had a conversation about what’s been going on lately. It has been a crazy December, and it all just seems a little too much sometimes.

(Searching for Freedom)
Five years ago, I uploaded a short post about going into a trial-and-error period. It was a time when I wanted to try a lot of things and figure out what works and what doesn’t. I wanted to know what works best for me and finally get a better idea of my path, so … More Going into another Trial-and-Error season.
I’ve been in my head a lot lately. Throughout this whole divorce process, I’ve been having a challenging time with the whole alimony thing.

I came across an old post I wrote back in 2020. The post was about seeing things clearly and how 2020 was the year of clear vision. Fast-forward to now, 2020 has nothing on 2024. This year has been an eye-opening year for sure. It’s like we’re seeing a lot of people’s (and organizations’) … More 2024: The Year of Reveal. (When Push comes to Shove!) Blogmas #4
I’ve been thinking and wondering what the next chapter of my blog will be.

It’s interesting how two people who are close to you can both see you differently. How can two people who know you so well see two completely different things?

In other words, if I asked my … More Words carry weight, but that doesn’t mean I should let them weigh me down.
Last year was one hell of a journey! There were so many lessons and life changing moments. I’ve learned more about myself and embraced the need for change.

In a few past posts over the years, I’ve spoken on Strength. I’ve mentioned how even in moments when we feel like we’re weak we are actually strong.
