Sometimes Things Are Meant to Be Left Behind

"When you focus on what's missing, it's hard to see what's there." - Emily P. Freeman Have you read the book, The Next Right Thing, by Emily P. Freeman? I was looking through book reviews on Amazon in hopes to find a book that would help me with making a decision about something I am confused about. Have you ever been so focused on a career goal (for so long) that it is possible you either 1) lost who you are in the process or 2) started to wonder if maybe your goals need to adjust and accommodate to your current life circumstances? Well.... I will say that Emily's perspectives are helping me eliminate the fogginess I have pertaining to career aspirations, but more importantly, it is also helping me ease the guilt of feeling confused. She's helping me feel okay about telling myself, "Maybe you just don't have the same career goals anymore, and there is nothing wrong with that." I am discovering that sometimes we think we are lea

Why do you do what you do?

Oh how I missed the crisp October nights… Is it weird that I love to hear the sound of crickets chirping in the night as I have the window cracked open ?   I feel like it has been so long since the last time I got to sit in my bed before 8:00pm. Although I love my days, I’ll still always love the nights were I can just sit on my bed, in my pj’s, with my laptop on my lap. I might add the night is topped with a nice little glass of Cupcake Pinot Nior.   I know it’s nothing fancy, but it’s still good! Have you tried it? It’s great if your on a budget! It’s also nice that my dogs are calm, laying down in their doggy beds and with me in my room. I got to thinking this evening how much I missed the days where I felt I could just “write.”   You know, write without a specific purpose or because I have drafted or brainstorm ideas to make sure there is a constant flow of materials. Tonight is the night where I just get to write the way I originally realized I

Little People

Up until recently, I never thought I would consider dating someone who has a child.  Not that its bad in anyway, but I have always heard such negative stories, and at the time it seemed so much easier to just keep away from it all together... However, despite all the drama everyone says comes with dating someone who has a child, I was actually looking forward to accommodating my life in a way that a  single person wouldn't have to; I was excited for the new experience - all of course, while staying within the boundaries of not trying to take the place of "mom." I wanted this little person to teach me so much more about life because I knew they could.  I also hoped I could have contributed (when requested) to make things easier for this person... maybe to inspire, encourage, and love.  Nevertheless, this must be one of the awesome things about little people: They're a type of special  that bring a new life that's too great to describe. In a way, I almost felt

Goodbye, Butterflies

Do you remember the days when liking someone was just enough?  For some, it didn't matter how they treated you, what kind of attention the gave or didn't give to you, whether or not they had goals, who their friends were, how they got along with their family, if they were reliable, responsible, and whether or not they would make a good father... or mother. When I was in high school, I chose the boys who were cute because they gave me "butterflies"; up into my mid-twenty's I chose the guys who had a nice face, muscular body, and who knew how to have fun because they gave me excitement...and you know what that got me? A LOT of good pictures LOL! J/K :-) No...but seriously, I was shallow, but then again can we really help who we are attracted to and how they make us feel?  Nevertheless, I found that its not about choosing the guy because of who he is, how he is, or how "excited" he makes you feel - its about choosing for you . As the years go by, we s
