forgiveness. it’s a pretty heavy topic around here & something that i’ve thought a lot about for a really long time. i, like most people, can carry around a few guilty feelings. things i feel bad about or ashamed of or embarrassed by. they weigh us down & just feel heavy. well, for me, most […]
be proud
not just proud… SUPER proud! even though i’m absolutely exhausted right now & reclining in my la-z-boy with my laptop while writing this. i not only made it through my return to work this week without freaking out or melting down but i also had the best time ever! like in a ‘haven’t been this […]
what i’m doing
right now i am right on the edge. tomorrow will be the first time in about 4 months that i will be around other people as i return to work & i don’t know how i’m going to handle it. i’m well aware that i am one of the lucky ones who was not only […]
stop. and look…
‘stop. and look…’ really take a second, to take it all in. i know it’s become almost a cliche – but look at where you are now & how far you’ve come. look at all the things you have right now that you wished for, that you worked for. look at how you’ve moved past […]
sweet snack swaps
i am a snacker. and while i know that’s not a personality trait, it’s definitely one of the things that pops into my mind when i think about my favourite things! and lately, it’s been cookies. but i’m very, very, very picky when it comes to them & i’ve spent quite a bit of time […]
the vision is so clear
the last couple of nights as i’ve been falling asleep, i’ve had some really clear visions on who i want to be & how i want my future to look. it’s not something i tried to do & i’m honestly not sure where these ideas are coming from but i’m not complaining & i’m certainly […]
empty space
‘if you’re going to focus on what’s gone – at least notice the space it left for something new’ oh a lesson that took me almost two years to learn & one that i still have to remind myself of when i feel a mood coming on! i spent the better part of the last […]
who will you be??
‘life isn’t about who you once were, it’s about who you are now & who you have the potential to be’ super, duper similar to the last quote i posted but it’s something that i’m still stuck on after all of the sweet comments & messages i’ve received. i teared up more than once reading […]
leaving the past alone
‘even if you could go back, you wouldn’t belong there anymore’ but for a long time, i really, really, really wanted to! it’s the thought that rolled around in my head at 1 in the morning when i should have been sleeping. it’s the thought that made me cry in my car when i was […]
putting your foot down
do you ever want to throw your hands up in the air & scream ‘STOP’ at the top of your lungs? at yourself? when your brain or your heart or your emotions are just racing & getting louder than ever? that’s the image i picture in my mind when i feel things getting out […]
