Blog 365 - One Year
A year ago, I decided I was going to start writing a daily blog. The original idea was pretty simple. I wanted it to be like a daily diary, a place to document what I did, where I went, the people I spent time with, the experiences I had, and the little moments that made up each day. I didn’t really know what it would turn into. I just knew I wanted to start something and commit to doing it every single day for a year. But somewhere along the way, it became more than a daily

Day 363
I’ve had some things on my mind over the last few days, and today, I can really feel them sitting heavy in my spirit. I don’t know exactly who needs to read this, but I have a feeling someone does. I don’t know who made us feel like we have to show up before God as this perfect, shiny, put-together version of ourselves. Like we have to clean up our lives, get our emotions under control, find the right words, and have everything figured out before we can come to Him. But that’

Day 362
Have you ever noticed how much the energy of the people around you can affect your day? Some people walk into a room and bring a sense of happiness, positivity, and warmth with them. Others seem to bring tension, negativity, and unnecessary drama wherever they go. It got me thinking about a saying we have all heard: You attract the energy you give off. I truly believe there is something to that. If you want kindness in your life, be kind. If you want honesty, be honest. If yo

Day 361
There are certain things in life that I will never back down from, and at the top of that list are my morals, my integrity, and my values. I have learned that not everyone is going to agree with me. Not everyone will understand my decisions, my boundaries, or the way I choose to live my life. And that’s okay. We don’t all have to think alike, believe the same things, or see every situation from the same perspective. But I will never allow someone else’s opinion, expectations,

Day 360
Today was a good day! It started with a golf tournament fundraiser supporting an amazing foundation that helps women, children, and men who have survived domestic violence. If you know my story, then you understand why being involved with a cause like this means so much to me. Some things in life hit a little closer to home because of what we have experienced ourselves. Being able to show up, support an organization doing meaningful work, and be part of something that can mak

Day 359
Before I start, let me put a disclaimer out there. This is my opinion, and as a woman, I am speaking from my perspective and my own experiences with men. I am sure women have their own faults, too, but I am not attracted to women, so I cannot speak on that side of things. I can only speak on what I have experienced and what I have observed. With that said, I have a genuine question. Why does so much interaction between men and women seem to turn sexual so quickly? I understan

Day 358
Today was one of those days where everything felt overwhelming. You know the kind of day when your mind is already full, your patience is running low, and even the smallest things feel like one more thing added to an already long list. And sometimes, the hardest part about feeling overwhelmed is that it seems like everyone needs something from you. Everyone has a question, a request, or wants to know what’s wrong. They want you to explain what you’re feeling when, honestly, y
