Another Year Older...

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been three whole years since I started this blog. It’s kind of crazy to look back and see how far I’ve come, and how much I’ve grown. I feel happier, stronger, and more at peace as a person now, than ever before over the span of my life. I won’t lie… I’m kind of proud of myself.

That being said, there is still work I want to do, and goals I want to accomplish. So much so, that I often feel super anxious because I feel like time is just running out. But, I think as long as I stay organized and on top of my goals, I’ll accomplish what I want. (Hopefully!) There are so many things that I’m looking forward to. For one, my bestie is getting married! So, I’ll be traveling to Italy for the first time for the wedding. And while I’m over in Europe, I also hope to make a stop in Paris! I’m also looking forward to making my new house, more of a home. I’ve lost some steam with getting everything in order, but I hope that in the next couple weeks I can start making progress again.

I can’t quite put my finger on it, but I feel like I’m at a turning point. Like, things will be changing. And, that makes me both excited and nervous. While I want the challenges to keep on coming, so that I continue to grow as a person, with new experiences adding to my overall level of understanding. I also worry these challenges could be extremely painful. I just pray that God continues to work on me, and teach me lessons in kind and loving ways.

Oh Lord

When I die, put my ashes in the trash bag I don't care where they go Don't waste your money on my gravestone I'm more concerned about my soul Everybody's gon' die Don't everybody live though Sometimes I look up to the sky And wonder do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord Listen, yeah everybody wants change Don't nobody wanna change though Don't nobody wanna pray Till they got something to pray for Now everybody's gon' die But don't everybody live though Sometimes I look up to the sky And wonder do you see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord It's easy to blame God but harder to fix things We look in the sky like, "Why ain

See the Value in Each Day's Journey

Sometimes the road seems so long and endless, that the idea we'll ever get to where we want to be seems like a battle that will never be won. That all our efforts don't matter, and are for nothing. But, the truth is, we need to find joy in the journey. Stop focusing so much on what we don't have and that place that we haven't reached yet, and start being present in the moment and learning how everything we do affects us, and others. Ask yourself, what is the impression I made today? How have I affected others? How does that make me feel? How can I do better? Too often, I believe that we miss part of the message we're supposed to get out of our experiences, because we're so focused on the the end point. "The Pleasure and value of every walk or journey we take may be doubled to us by carefully noting down the impressions it makes upon us." - John Burroughs

Happy November!

It is officially November, so you know what that means. Holiday preparations are now in full swing. I’ve been told I’m so organized I’m boring, but making lists, forward thinking and planning helps with managing my stress levels. There is just so much to do, think about, and keep track of! I have about 5 lists going right now. It’s crazy. What’s most exciting is that since I’ve moved to a house, my family and I will have more room to spread out and relax at Thanksgiving. I always get so nervous that everything won’t work out, or people won’t have a good time. But, no matter how much I worry, it always works out in the end. Here’s to a happy, healthy, and relatively stress free holiday season!
