Have you ever listened to a song and felt or remembered what your life was like the very first time you heard it? This happened to me today when I hit shuffle on a playlist. The song “Set The World On Fire” was blasting through my earbuds. As soon as the first note hit, I…
I can’t tell you how many times I have heard my friends and people in stores talking about “so and so” and how perfect their life or day is. I have to admit, I even found myself feeling bummed this week because a few friends were posting exciting and exotic photos. I started thinking about…
Hi Friends, I hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend. I put together 10 kindness challenges to do this week. I’d love for you to join in. I left these 10 challenges somewhat open ended so you can put your own spin on it and tailor it to fit your lifestyle and schedule. All of these things…
This week’s challenge was inspired by the middle/ high school message at my church. As many of you know, I am a 7th grade youth group leader. This week’s message was about reminding ourselves not to measure our value based on other’s negativity. As I was looking through the leader guide and engaging in our small…
Hi Friends! I hope you had a lovely weekend. The weather is warming up and that means we’re one day closer to summer! This weekend there were bags given to the units in my apartment complex, with the goal of putting an end to hunger in the community. The AARP Foundation included foods they are…
Hi Friends! Last week I decided to go to my public library. I hadn’t been there in a while and needed to find a book. While I was there, I noticed something. When I walked in, one of the walls was covered in sticky notes. This caught me off guard and I stopped to see…
Hi Friends, I am absolutely loving this warm spring weather. The sun is shining, I can hear the birds chirping and the breeze feels amazing! I’ve been thinking a lot lately about my future and career goals. I’m not going to get into the specifics now (that’s a post for another day!), but I do…
Hi Friends, Last week I wrote about what it means to “do something”. As I said seven days ago, “it’s easy to say you’re going to do something, yet another to actually do it”. I want to keep the challenge from last week and make this week two. I have come up with easy ways…
For the past eleven weeks I wrote about ways to make a difference and why it is important. This post is going to be short and sweet: make a difference this week. This Week’s Challenge: Go Out & Do Something It’s easy to say you’re going to do something, yet another to actually do it. For…
Self love. Two words that make or break people. Why is it that we are so hard on ourselves? Why do we say things that we wouldn’t dare say to anyone else? Why is it that we are the first to point out something wrong or “flawed” about ourselves, while overlooking the many wonderful qualities…
Hi Friends, The past few weeks I have noticed a trend between myself, a few friends and people on social media expressing how “burnt out” is an almost everyday feeling. For me, lately trying to balancing work, traveling and running around helping everyone else out, has left me with little to no energy. Towards the…
Hi Friends,A few weeks ago, millions of men and women marched to show that “women’s rights are human rights and human rights are women’s rights”. Today, I still see photos of the women’s march on my social media accounts. I love that people are speaking up and seeking to achieve equality. What saddens me is…
