A Very Good Place to Start

So I'm starting a blog. This has been one of those random thoughts I've kept in the corner of my brain for the past couple of years, but I've always been too busy, scared, and let's face it, lazy, to actually start one. But here I go.

As I senior in college, this may not be the most opportune time to start add something else to my list of priorities, seeing as every moment of every day seems to be constantly filling up with meetings, homework, lesson plan writing, etc...but something new always excites me! In many ways, this year is a symbol of a new chapter in my life beginning. There are so many things to process, so many things to worry about...

As the unknown lies ahead, what better way to process these new beginnings than to document them here? Writing is a way for me to express my creative, candid, and crazy musings. And trust me, there will be many. If you're reading this, I hope you'll continue to read my heart over the next few weeks, months, years (who knows how long this will last?) of my life. I hope you're prepared for my spiritual epiphanies, crafting cravings, teaching rants, and maybe even some random poetry too. I have no doubt that there will be some fabulous movie quotes peppered in here frequently, because why not?

Writing has always been an outlet for my generally jumbled heart, and I am excited to release some of those mismatched musings into the void. So goodnight, dear void.

Too Stressed to Feel Blessed

Have you ever heard that cliche Christian phrase "I'm too blessed to be stressed!"? I've always kind of smirked at it when I hear it, thinking it sounds a little too good to be true. How can someone truly not be stressed simply because they have a lot of blessings? I don't think there's anyone out there with no stress in their lives. I was thinking about the reversal of the phrase this past week "too stressed to feel blessed" and I realized that this is too often my own attitude towards life. On many days, my life can feel heavy, hectic, busy, and far from "blessed." It's those days when I wake up feeling sick, when I have an argument with my husband, when my students at work are disobedient and wild, when I have mountains of work to do, when my house is disorganized the day before an event I'm hosting, when I am consumed with anxiety or thoughts about the people I've lost, when prayers don't seem to get answered. Please tel...

Long Overdue

Hey there, blog world. It's been a while. I have been contemplating starting a blog again and tonight just seemed like as good a night as ever to re-start Something New. Only a few new things have happened in the past 3 years...just kidding. Let's just call this time in my life transition central. Good transitions, wonderful transitions even. But change is hard, regardless of the beautiful implications they may have. Have you ever been there? New job, new life stage, new house, new friends? All at once? Beautiful, wonderful transitions. This is where I am right now. I just moved into a condo a year and a half ago with more space than I have ever had to myself with an amazing husband to whom I have only been married to for a year and a half! I moved across the state and started a new job. I love my life, but stress is not far from me at all times. I have suddenly become someone who stresses out about dishes being left in the sink, the laminator at work not being hot enoug...
