It’s almost as if last year didn’t even exist. How is it Fall, again? I sit here in my living room warmed by a fire that I made, somehow feeling like I’m waiting for someone to get home. But no one is coming. I’m alone. I feel utterly blocked and more confused than ever right …
#MondayMotivation // Motivation is Garbage
Sometimes it just seems easier to complain about all the shit that’s going on in our lives than to actually step back, acknowledge that we are responsible for our current reality -based on the choices we’ve made in our past, accept our faults, learn from our mistakes, and work hard every day at becoming a …
The Magic of Not Giving a F*ck
I LOVED this quick TedTalk by Sarah Knight, author of The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck on mental decluttering, learning how to say no without feeling guilty, setting boundaries, and giving fewer f*cks using honesty and politeness. Sometimes it’s difficult to say no to things you don’t want to do. You feel guilty …
You Can Be Comfortable or You Can Be Courageous
It’s insane to me just how much is going on in my life right now. So much uncertainty, a bit of craziness, everything up in the air, and it’s strangely nerve-wracking… It’s not at all what I thought my life would look like at 40, but in the midst of it all I have to …
#MondayMotivation // Make Shit Happen
There’s something really kind of fun about hating Mondays. Most of us have it in common, so we’re all on the same page at least two days a week… because, Friday, obviously. So we have these things that unite us, if nothing else, and it makes us feel like we’re all in it together, right? …
#MondayMotivation // Own It…
Inevitably, there’s a moment every Sunday afternoon where I have random flashbacks of the weekend past and suddenly remember saying or doing something utterly ridiculous. Something along the lines of “I carried a watermelon?“, but far more humiliating than the cutest scene in Dirty Dancing, obviously. This moment is almost immediately followed by a full …
#MondayMotivation // Only You Can Be YOU…
* Quote courtesy of Ruby Rose, via Snapchat Being YOU is what makes YOU special… …No one is YOU & that is YOUR power. I have a pale pink post-it on the lower corner of my desktop computer with the above written on it as a reminder to not compare myself to others ~ in …
#MondayMotivation // Life is Tough Darling…
My husband showed up unexpectedly last Tuesday and hijacked my day physically and hijacked my week emotionally. As you can tell from what I wrote in my last outfit post, I was utterly confused by it all. And even though I made sure to mentally document the negative feelings and the overwhelmingly obvious emotions pulsing …
#MondayMotivation // And Every Day, We Get To Choose.
Just a little bit of Monday Motivation to get you through this day and the rest of the week. It’s always the smallest step forward, an inkling of an idea, a random inspiration, a spark that makes you think I CAN DO THIS! And so today is the day to do so… even if it’s …
