When You’re the One You Can’t Let Down🦋

A Midweek Check-In with My Writer Self Happy Wednesday, all you Lovely Souls! I did it! What did I do? I put my phone down and left the house to get some work done. I’ve been saying I was going to start going somewhere other than the house to work on my novel — or […]

The Power of Words and the Things We Accidentally Wish For🧞‍♀️🤔🧞

Wow! This weekend totally got away from me — on several levels.Staying up way too late, then napping off and on all day? That kind of rhythm throws everything off.

Celebration, Compassion, and New Quarterly Goals🎆🧨🎇

Their adult selves were dealing with a similar experience, which brought about the remembrance scene. They came to realize […]

When the Song Won’t Quit—Let It Move You!🎶🎧🎵

This morning, I woke up with a song in my head—and it stuck with me the whole day. The song? Bad Habits by Ed Sheeran. What I usually do when this happens is play the song on repeat until I don’t want to hear it anymore. So, I popped on my headphones, planning to listen […]

Honor Their Sacrifice: Memorial Day Is More Than a Day Off

Memorial Day Tomorrow is Memorial Day, and for quite a few people, it’s seen as just an extra day off from work. And yes, an extra day off work is great and all — but do you know why we have that extra day? A lot of people have forgotten the reason behind it. Some […]
