Fuel Your Curiosity

After my first year of teaching, I am changing courses..again. The typical trajectory is that after we graduate high school, we go to college. We select a major, graduate, and find a career relating to our major. We stay in that career and grow within it. Do you know how many times I've changed my …

Strength in Singleness

I hung onto my marriage for so long because I believed in the sanctity of marriage.I tolerated so much that never should have been tolerated. The neglect, the lying, the cheating, the aggression, the manipulation, the gaslighting… 5 years single and it has it's own kind of ups and downs. Some days are hard as …

Change is Growth

I've been cleaning up my mental space and habits trying to figure out what I want to do, who I want to be, and where I want to go. Right now, my life consists of my faith, family, work, and health. It's been manageable and I have been consistent in all areas with things I …

Default Settings

You ever realize when you fall off the wagon of reaching your goals, you go back to old habits? What if, you didn't fall completely off the wagon? What if, you had changed your default settings? Getting to this point is hard because it still takes discipline. For example, when it comes to my health …

Keep It Simple

When it comes to any goals, it can feel overwhelming real quick. My go-to examples are related to health and fitness (if you haven't already noticed) because it's been a big part of my life.But if you look at weight loss goals, there are so many things to become self-aware of: nutrition, hydration, workouts, rest …

With that belief, I've become habit-focused and started tracking my habits. For example, for now, I'm only focused on tracking my workouts. How consistent am I being for the …

Eliminating to get to Your Goals

When we think about accomplishing goals, we often add to our lives in order to achieve them. For example, losing weight. You have to add in exercising, healthy eating, sleeping well, drink more water. Our life becomes overcrowded with obligations on top of everything else we are juggling. Something new that I have been doing …

Authenticity

Lately, I've been feeling a little lost within myself.Who am I?What do I like?What do I not like?I used to have so much excitement and passion about different things.But those have faded.I've become cynical over the past year. I thought it was a phase. But I've been kind of stuck here.Almost as if this is …

PSA on Rejection

There's nothing wrong with you.  You're not missing anything. You are good enough. I've been seeing a lot of incredible women feeling discouraged because after putting in the effort to meet someone, they are still single. And the self-doubt is starting to eat away at them: "Am I good enough?" "Is there something wrong with me?" …

Nudges

Hearing God's voice isn't always easy. If at all. At least for me.But lately, more often than not, I've been feeling strong nudges. A whisper of wind guiding me. The Holy Spirit bringing me peace in its guidance. To be completely transparent, I had a feeling that my time at a school that I worked …
