  • monday morning encouragement: quit slacking & start acting 

       It’s another Monday. One that I swear I have lived before, & that’s because I have. It’s the same as last week. It’s the same as a month ago. It’s even the same Monday as two years ago. And that’s because I’m really good at letting things not change in my life. I’m really…

  • monday morning encouragement: you have to just keep going 

       It’s Monday today. Not like you didn’t already know that. But it still had to be said. It has to be aknowledged, whether you want to accept it or not. The truth is that today exists & you must live it.  I don’t know what your yesterday held, or how your weekend went, but…

  • 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: 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…

  • laugh a little, again

       The last time I posted these little funnies everyone loved them, it was a huge hit. So I’ve rounded up some more that are just as funny for a second stab at getting you all to laugh a little bit today. Pull up a chair, grab some popcorn, & enjoy!                     …

  • 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…
