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.

5 Ways to Say Goodbye to 2017

I was going to jump right in with a post all about goal-setting and resolutions for 2018 because I am a huuuuuuge believer in dreaming and making plans for the future. But then I stopped to think about how important it is for me to reflect on the past in order to really create goals for the future that are both inspiring and attainable. SO, here are 5 quick tips to implement before the year is done: 1. Create a space to reflect.  It's easy to throw together a few thoughts when you're waiting in line or when you're just drifting to sleep, but more often than not, these stolen seconds of "reflection" aren't really going to be helpful or motivating in the long run. I suggest stealing more than a few seconds- even just 15 minutes- to cozy up with a journal (or your Notes app) and a cup of something warm- and really reflect. 2. Focus on what you overcame.  I phrase it this way, because honestly, I wanted to initially phrase it with "think about all the b...

Lemon Ginger

It's Saturday night, and I find myself home with a mug of lemon ginger tea, a cucumber facial mask, and America's Next Top Model. Ahhh...there's a pile of homework sitting next to my bed, but for now, I'm just going to rest. So call me a dork, but I've always been fascinated by personalities. I've probably taken the Myers-Briggs Personality test a total of 10 times (maybe even more). If you've never taken it, you can take it here: Myers Briggs Personality Test.  Anyway, the reason I bring this up is because my personality results have always classified me as being an extrovert. While I do agree with this, seeing as I'm generally more energized when I'm around other people, I also have found that my "Me Time" is extremely valuable, especially as I get older and busier. There are some days when all I want is to sit back with a warm cup of something (preferably, coffee) and just breathe. Jesus took time to be alone regularly. Matthew 14...
