Divorce Diaries (Part 22: Experiencing the first Holidays after Separation)

          It’s been almost 6 full months since I’ve been “physically separated” from my soon-to-be ex-husband, and words can’t even begin to describe the emotional roller coaster during this time.

Divorce Diaries (Part 12: Are you able to Share Your Thoughts and Feelings? )

          Most of us are familiar with the popular show The Office. It’s definitely one of my top favorite shows. I started watching The Office about 9 to 10 years ago.

Just One Door . . . (It Doesn’t Matter How Many Closed Doors You Reach, You Just Need One to Open)

Today I had a lot on my mind. I was thinking a lot about grad school. A lot of my work consisted of interviews. As an introvert who is also awkward and a little shy, I was always afraid to approach people or reach out to strangers. I guess you can say it was just … More Just One Door . . .

Judging Yesterday’s Self with Today’s Wisdom.

          Why do we judge our past selves with today’s wisdom? I heard Pastor Furtick talk about this recently and I’ve been thinking about it ever since. With age comes wisdom and growth, so why are we so hard on ourselves for our past choices/mistakes?
