Trying New Things

Since my last post, Muted, the soul searching continues as I try to learn how to show up as my authentic self. One thing I’ve decided to try is getting out of my comfort zone in different ways, which ironically enough is something I started doing about a month ago (minus the whole conscious decision […]

Muted

Like everyone else in the world I follow several celebrities and accounts of people I don’t know on Instagram. Celebrities, hashtags, yadda yadda. You know the drill. Just recently a friend got me into watching the stories people post, which I had previously ignored completely because this is what I do with new technology and […]

Finding Happy Again

We all have times in our lives when we get a little down, right? Get a little funk-ish? If you’re like me, you might possibly have some difficulty getting back out of those little “rabbit holes” you get into. Kind of like your mind burrows in and makes a nice little spot to lie down […]

Thoughts for Thursday

I’m on this kick lately where I want to be a positive, happy, kind person. Emphasis on ‘kind’ because that’s the main goal I’m working on. Kindness towards other people, but also kindness to myself because I believe you must take care of yourself in order to be able to help others. My mind hasn’t […]

Come and Sit a Spell

‘Sit a Spell’ is a Southern phrase meaning to enter a particular place and relax for a short period or ‘spell’.  It’s a time of fellowship, friendship, and (usually) gossip.  The front porch visits on hot summer days with lots of ‘bless her hearts’, sweet tea sippin’, and slowly rocking or swinging all your troubles […]

Thoughts for Thursday

Last week I talked a little about being a nicer person. It’s something that’s been on my mind for a little while now and something I’ve begun to work on for myself. Being a kind person is a noble trait, but a conversation with someone over the weekend reminded me this can sometimes be harder […]
