My daughter has been taking aerial silks classes for several years now. I had noticed that she wasn’t talking about it nearly as enthusiastically as she had been, but she never said anything about quitting. When she decided to try out for color guard I told her she would probably have to quit aerial just…

I started a post yesterday, but it was so rambling, I ended up deleting it. The main gist was that I was feeling overwhelmed. In some ways I still am, but taking the time to notice and voice my overwhelm helped me to see where I could cut back. This week is my daughter’s musical…

This week has turned out way different than I’d planned. I set out a schedule of writing for myself, but almost all of it got pushed aside for other things. My daughter broke a bracket on her braces over the weekend, so I had to take her on Monday to have the wire clipped, then…

If you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time, you are well aware that I am great at making plans. And not so great at sticking with them. Either things crop up that interrupt the plan or I just struggle to keep it up. Hopefully this new plan will be one I can…

I did it! I wrote for 45 minutes. It almost didn’t happen. I had to take the kids to school this morning because my son had to be there early for band. Afterwards, my plan was to sit at Panara Bread and get my writing done early in the day. Unfortunately, I forgot that I’d…

I really am a work in progress. I make a plan, I stick to it for awhile, I get derailed and I have to start all over. So here I am at the start of a new school year, starting over with a new plan. I’ve been so very exhausted the last two weeks since…

I came across the above image on FaceBook and felt like it was something I needed to save. I have a hard time remembering that I can’t control everything, as much as I’d like to. I want to control the feelings of others and what other people think of me. I want to control their…

It isn’t quite the “Wellness Wednesday” I normally have. Last week I got a phone call in the morning saying that my therapy appointment for later that day needed to be canceled because my therapist had to go on maternity leave early. They asked if I wanted to make an appointment with another provider, but…

Transitions can be hard. Regardless of the excitement leading up to a transition, it can still cause stress. Summer is right around the corner (my kids’ last day of school is this Friday) and while I am excited for the things that Summer break will bring (no alarms!), I’m anxious about the change to my…

I’m about to be published!!! I wrote before about working with a friend on a story for an anthology that another friend had invited me to contribute to. We turned it in at the beginning of the month and the last few weeks have been focused on edits, marketing, and pinching myself to see if…
