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.

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...

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...
