  • monday morning encouragement: be still my soul, a tribute 

       Be still my soul.  Know that today will surely pass. Tomorrow will come & today will soon be the past. Be still my soul. Know that the memories will last. The days may fade, but never will the smiles or the laughs. Be still my soul. It’s okay to be sad & cry. Your…

  • monday morning encouragement: live intentionally 

       This weekend wasn’t the best for me. It wasn’t my favorite at all. It was chaotic & exhausting & not at all what I wanted. I went to sleep last night & sort of craved Monday morning. I needed this morning to be the restart button for routine & normalcy. I wanted to live…

  • monday morning encouragement: courage dear heart 

       Sometimes just one little word has the power to get you through the day, & that word is courage. Courage to be braver. Courage to do what is right. Courage to know that today is just one day, but to realize it means so much more than that. It may just be another Monday…

  • monday morning encouragement: it’s okay to be fancy

       Monday. I hate you, but I love you. It’s the end of freedom & the beginning of a long journey to reach the end of the week again. It’s a vicious inevitable cycle that we humans live for, the work week to end so that the weekend can begin, again. We think that only…

  • monday morning encouragement: find the joy

       Joy. It’s a word that’s hardly ever associated with an early Monday morning. You overslept, you’re running late for work, you actually have to go to work, you have to deal with coworkers, you’ll probably get stuck in traffic, & you might miss that meeting. But, instead of seeing all the things we have…

  • monday morning encouragement: just another magic monday

       It’s just another magic Monday…& cue the ever so popular 1986 song Manic Monday  by The Bangles. Haven’t heard it? Well you should click that link & listen to it right now. It’s a good song & I don’t even know how I know it. But my head pretty much thinks in song lyrics & movie…

  • monday morning encouragement: change the inevitable

       Somethings are inevitable, like Mondays. They happen with no question or say. And so do things like negative thoughts & bad moods. We don’t really want those things in our lives. But days & emotions are inevevitable & it’s what we do with them that change things up. So, change the inevitable. Choose to…

  • monday morning encouragement: go adventure 

       Today is Monday again, but at least it’s one that’s a holiday. It feels like a second Sunday & that is the best thing ever. There’s no need to be sad today. There’s no need to dread today. Today is made for fun & relaxation & getting things done.  So go, go adventure today.…

  • abbey kay lately: what’s in my head 

      I thought it’d be fun to start a new little series where I tell you all that I’ve been up to lately. But since it’s me & I don’t like doing things the traditional & easy way, I thought I’d tell you all the weird things that I’ve been up to by way of the…

  • monday morning encouragement: we’re just walking through it 

       In all honesty, today’s post may be less encouraging & more of a “that’s just life” sort of talk. Because sometimes we find ourselves in a spot where we see no point in anything. We see no hope at the end of the tunnel. We see no clear direction ahead of us. And to…
