thirty-nine.
39. Tomorrow, the man I love turns 39. For eight entire months, I’ll be married to an older man, and I certainly won’t let him forget how fortunate he is to have a young wife.

patience
Perspective. Patience. One thing I have an abundance of, and one thing I would adore having an ounce of. If you know me in real life, you know my patience level is below sea level.

It was a weird year, and it wasn’t one I cared much for while simultaneously feeling as if it’sContinue reading “twenty twenty one”

Summer Exhaustion: Why Are We So Tired During the Most Relaxing Time of Year?
Happy Summer Vacation! School’s out for summer. The kids are home. The house is a little lot louder, a little lot messy, and your patience is already wearing thin…and it’s only the first day.

Monday Motivation: Learning to Master Self-Discipline
Through self-discipline comes freedom Aristotle When you take a moment to let that sink in, it really hits hard because it’s about so much more than the usual things that come to mind.
