Just a quick thought for today – it’s a lesson I’m still learning too. It’s a tough one to master but an important one: Do you ever find yourself saying, “I know people have way worse problems, but…” and then go on to explain how you’re feeling? Whether you’re saying this to yourself or to… Continue reading Don’t Dismiss Them. Embrace Them.

So yes, a few years ago, I flipped a lid and told my husband he was selfish.  I may have even given him dagger eyes and told him he was VERY selfish. But all I kept hearing were questions like: Do you mind if I go for a run? Do you care if I play… Continue reading My Husband is Selfish

So it’s Friday (cheers!), and the weekend is pretty much here. I’m sure you have plans set and a multitude of things you must get done. But what are you planning to do for yourself?

Here is my takeaway: The characteristics of indecision that spoke to me the most were that it skews, weakens and that it’s a thief.

But more often times than not, the word “should” needs to be kicked to the curb. – I SHOULD take care of all of the household to dos myself, it’s my job. (Even though it would be a huge relief… Continue reading The Word “Should”

Sunday is a great day to sit down, plan out your week and figure out where your “me time” fits in each and everyday. Now I’m not saying you need to carve out time for a massage every day (even though that would be nice 😀), I’m even talking about the little things like setting your… Continue reading Time to Prep!
