Focus

Ack! I totally missed posting this last week. All the more reason to keep "focus" in the forefront. I have been so distracted and thrown off this week. My husband ended up needing to go in for four nights over the weekend. He's usually an 8-4, M-F sort of guy, so my understanding of the… Continue reading Focus

This is not the post I was prepared to be writing this week. I was prepared to focus on celebrating my upcoming birthday, but I feel like I need a new focus now. The last few days have brought many, many, changes to all our lives. Here in Ohio schools are closed for the next… Continue reading Word of the Week: Prepare

Growth: as humans we are always changing, but are we growing, maturing, improving? That's really the goal isn't it?

Word of the Week: Passion

I'm sorry for missing a week. Between physical health flare ups, a new diagnosis, and waiting on blood test results my depression and anxiety made a major comeback last week.

Word of the Week: Focus

I am someone who is easily distracted. In someways I treasure this trait. There is such joy to be found in catching the small ordinary beautiful surprises that are missed by people completely focused on where they are going or what specifically they are doing. In other ways it is very frustrating to spend an… Continue reading Word of the Week: Focus
