         This week’s post will be fairly short. I was going to skip this week, but since I skipped the first Thursday after the move, I decided to go ahead and give another weekly update. I will say not much has changed since my last post. I’ve still been adjusting, trying to figure out what’s … More Divorce Diaries (Part 17: Just Breathe, Shake it Off and Keep Moving Forward)
As a person who initially hated change, I must say that I’m hoping for a wave of change to come through. Not just any change of course, but some good change. So much has gone wrong and I’m just ready for something new. Lately I’ve been yearning to move to a new city or … More I Was Never a Fan of Change, but Now I’m Desperate for It.
         If you didn’t watch How I Met Your Mother you might not know what a Woo Girl is, or maybe it is a universal word and I’m just not aware of it. I’m not sure, but I’ve only heard of the word from watching the show years ago. I remember watching the episode (season … More Confessions of a Woo Girl (I Now know why they Woo)
I wasn’t feeling too inspired this week to come up with a topic to discuss, but I did come across an interesting journal prompt while web browsing. It said to list 10 frivolous things that bring you joy. I guess classifying what’s frivolous and what’s not is subjective. So I’m just going to share 10 … More 10 Small (Frivolous) Things that Brings Me Joy!
Anxiousness, sleepiness, uncomfortable, proud, excited, hollow, numb, drained and alone. Those are all the feelings that I felt today (In that order). I never know what emotions to expect from day to day, but even in moments of celebration there’s so much emptiness. I’m trying to navigate this new normal, but honestly, it’s still … More If You’re Grieving, You Get It.
Today I was reflecting on life. I feel like the last 9 months I have just been trying to stay sane. I wish there were a pause button to life, but unfortunately there is not one. You just have to keep moving. In a recent post I mentioned how the things that once brought … More Chasing Peace Pt 1 (The Calming Effects of the Ocean)
Today I had to remind myself that real change doesn’t happen overnight. It’s hard to break old habits. It’s going to take more than 60 days to break a 15-year habit. I’ve been saying my affirmations everyday and reading more self-help books. I watch motivational videos all the time, and in the moment I … More Real Change Doesn’t Happen Overnight (And that’s okay)
One thing that I tend to enjoy is listening to inspiring stories from people who started from the bottom. When I hear great success stories from people who started out with nothing but a dream, it lets me know that it’s possible. Sometimes when we are in the midst of our journey we start … More Timing vs X-Factor (Pursuing Your Dreams)
Aside from the meaningful things, one thing that inspires me is looking at homes. Even though most of us want wealth and success because we hope to be able to provide for our families, and payback our parents for every sacrifice that they ever made for us. We might want to do something meaningful and … More Instant Motivation
Today I was thinking a lot about who I am and my connections in the past. I always felt like I couldn’t connect with people. It was like I was surrounded by groups, and I didn’t quite fit into any of them. Most of the time I feel like two people in one body. … More The Weirdo and the Introvert
