This has been one of the longest years of my life. And yes, I know it is only March 24th. Here's the thing. As I think I've mentioned before, I am less than happy at my job. And by less than happy, I mean checking my phone every few minutes on Sundays to see how… Continue reading That Leap of Faith

Just a bit of thought
I've been intending to do a New Year's Post and I still intend to - but I have this super detailed plan I want to complete before I discuss it, so this is just a hold-over post to note what's been up. I was sick through New Years and it was almost more stressing to… Continue reading Just a bit of thought
Redeeming the Time Part 2: The Ideal Worker
The book I mentioned in my last post, Overwhelmed, had some great points. I skipped a lot of the book because it seemed to overly focus on how stereotypes between men and women placed more pressure on women than men, and I wasn't looking for an equality speech (can't we women at some point take… Continue reading Redeeming the Time Part 2: The Ideal Worker
Rushing Through Life
So we went on a week-long cruise the week of February 18th. It was a very fun, very busy vacation what with islands, snorkeling, an excursion that was cancelled and replaced by a different one, and in general staying up until 2 AM every night playing games with my brother and sister-in-law. But for once… Continue reading Rushing Through Life
Choosing Joy
Apparently my previous post was a little too sobering for anyone to read/like/comment on - which is fine - I am still glad I pushed away my fear of confrontation enough to bring it up. It's what so many introverts/writers struggle with, isn't it? That fear someone is going to attack you for your beliefs,… Continue reading Choosing Joy
Weariness and Breaking the Rules
It has been long couple months of travel. From May 25 to date, I have traveled to Oklahoma, Florida, Kansas, New York, Minnesota, and Cleveland and have another trip to Orlando scheduled in 12 days. Needless to say, I am beginning to feel a little exhausted. Today, especially, having worked 23 hours in the last two… Continue reading Weariness and Breaking the Rules
Totally random writing
I know I don't write as often as I have been recently, but I have been busy with editing my book, which I FINALLY titled God's Masterpiece. I am still not sure I like it, but it is better than not having a title. I have sent it off to about five people to read… Continue reading Totally random writing
Writing, Working, Life
It has been so long since I have written any posts, that I am sure you all thought you were free of my ramblings. I cannot even believe it is January 2017 – I feel like it was just a couple months ago that I was writing the January 2016 post. I am too scared… Continue reading Writing, Working, Life
A “Grown-up” moment
So, I know that I just turned 28. And I am supposed to be grown up and have it all figured out. Heck, if it was like the movies, I should currently be "the youngest CEO to ever run X company!". But, it isn't the movies. And life isn't really like that. Inside, I still… Continue reading A “Grown-up” moment
Counting Blessings
It is a cold, dreary day outside, and I woke with the depressed feeling of knowing it was time to trudge off to work once more, where I can expect at least four emails telling me what I did wrong this time. In case you didn't notice, I don't take criticism very well. I know, I… Continue reading Counting Blessings
