Day 75
Today 34 years ago I became a mother. It is a scary, thrilling, beautiful thing to be. You are always a parent once you become one. It isn’t something you ever finish doing or being. Some humans walk away. Better to stay gone if you can’t commit to forever. Tiny humans deserve your best self…

Day 74
Have you heard it said that it is darkest right before dawn? I suppose that’s true. What I do know is right when you think your situation can’t get any worse, it will. The catch is to stay with what you know is true and let things happen as it will. Do the right thing…

Sometimes you just need to look at the stars and remember how small your problems really are. You are but a speck in the universe and yet you are important. You, not your problems. Remember who you are and why you are here.

Day 64
One adulting skill that does not come naturally is adaptability. You must learn to move and adjust your sails on the raging ocean that is this life. There is a difference when talking about evolution and adapting. You do not need to evolve into a different human type. Stay true to who you are; however,…

Day 63
Today is the day I officially start a new writing project. It’s easy when starting any project to feel overwhelmed. Keeping things organized and in perspective helps ward off anxiety. Adulting is hard. Which is strange to say because I feel the same in my brain as I did when I was in my twenties.…
