Self Love

We all are in need of a little self care and lots of self loving! Anxiety, depression and every little thing we cannot control can be a very heavy burden. A burden that weighs us down.  A burden we sometimes do not know how to overcome.  Today, I was so overwhelmed with life! I had a rare opportunity to listen to music, dance a little, take a hot bath, and write.  Life is a crazy mess and in the midst of the hustle and bustle we sometimes loose the opportunity to ground ourselves and love ourselves, imperfections and all!  I started my day feeling like a brick was sitting on my chest.  I am in the process of learning how to take those moments for what they are, just moments!  After those moments pass, I feel like I am a very lucky person.  I have so many things and people to be thankful for. Have I faced loss, have I faced hardships, have I faced more struggles than I care to talk about - yes, yes and yes!  But I have realized that all of those hard moments made me the person I am now.  While it will never make those things any easier, I am a very spiritual person and believe that at the end of the day, I am here for a reason whether I know the reason why or not!  If you have the opportunity to completely unwind, take a moment to reconnect with yourself and what you really enjoy in life - Do It - listen to music so loud that no one understands, dance like no one is watching and most importantly - Love yourself!!

The Sounds of Spring

Every season has it's own pros & cons. Tonight, I sit and listen to the birds! Each with their own song, their own tune and their own timing.  If you take a moment to just sit still and listen, you can hear their excitement for the long awaited spring and summer that we all anticipate.  I have a favorite part of every season, but spring is the one season that always inspires me and even excites me just as much as it does the plants and animals around me.  The days become longer, the temperatures are on the uphill slide, the sun feels so much warmer and the best part.....everything turns green and becomes alive again. We shed our winter coats and hopefully our frowns turn into smiles.  While winter is my least favorite season of them all, spring makes up for it in every way.  I'm excited to play in the dirt and feel the warm sunshine on my face.  I'm excited for the thunderstorms that wash away the winter grime, making way for the fresh growth of the Ear...

Being Fair is Not Easy

I so do not want to put my drama out there, but I am in a position where I am fed up.  I am a single Mom, by my own choice! Why, because I never want my daughter to grow up and think that certain behaviors are tolerable because she is a woman and I never ever want my son to grow up thinking it is ok to treat the women in his life as a less than because it's her duty as a woman. I've worked very hard in my life to get to where I am, physically, spirituality and emotionally.  Not many people who have met me will describe me as less than strong - maybe slightly closed - but strong and so very kind.  Yet I have my own weaknesses and struggles too.  Going through divorce and trying to be kind and forgiving while everyone tells you how much the other person is struggling is certainly a moment of humility for me.  Will I tell them my reasons?  Will I tell them my side of the story?  Or will I swallow my pride and let them feel bad?  Sadly, I'll probabl...

Amateur Photography

Today I decided to take some time to look back through some of my old pictures.  I have always loved capturing the beautiful scenery around me, but sadly it's another thing that has gone to the back burner these days.  There was a time where I'd spend hours taking pictures of some very random things that I must have found interesting at the time.  In the midst of all those random pictures, I did find a few that I want to share.  Iowa can truly be a beautiful place, you just have to make time to see it!
