Sunrise, Sunset

Can YOU see it? Last week, I had the unique opportunity to stay with my mom at her house because her house mates were on vacation in Hawaii, giving us the house for ourselves! I had a pretty rough weekend leading up to this week, so I grabbed at the chance immediately. Time away fromContinue reading “Sunrise, Sunset”

Reflections on 2012

I’m “taking” this blog post from Larissa, Reflections on 2012 , and copying it for myself! I love reflection and these questions are fun! Took me longer than I thought, but here ya go!1. What did you do in 2012 that you’d never done before?Met people in person that I had been friends with online (mainly twitter).Continue reading “Reflections on 2012”

O Holy Night

Today is Christmas Eve. The day Jesus was born. The day that we celebrate and rejoice the miracle of Jesus! So today I’m putting aside my own hang-ups with God and religion to really reflect on the birth of Jesus. I’m sort of like Blaine Warbler (for all my Glee fans) in that I expressContinue reading “O Holy Night”

Obsession Sharing Time!

Those who follow me on twitter have already been exposed to my crazy love for this band, but I realized the other day that not everyone is on twitter (a shame really). So I figured I would use my small blog platform to introduce my latest (and in my opinion…greatest) obsession. Walk the Moon. OhioContinue reading “Obsession Sharing Time!”

12/12/12 and Prompts!

I’ve had this prompt in mind for a while now, and today seems like a good day to be a bit more creative than confessional/personal. Let’s see what happens! I was… hoping to get this done without stress, but today’s workload was too heavy. I am… looking forward to going home and possible shopping tonight! I think… thatContinue reading “12/12/12 and Prompts!”

So this happened.

I’m entirely sure how to feel about it either. I mean, I’m glad that it’s “over” and I’ve submitted the application. But I’m also scared of what the future holds. I have placed a LOT on getting back into school and only affording it because of the discount I received by being a staff ofContinue reading “So this happened.”

WHOA.

Time is flyin’ by these days. I feel like I have so much to write about and yet nothing at all. I’m not sure I can actually write out entire paragraphs at this point, but I do want to update some things that have been going on for the past 2 months or so: I’mContinue reading “WHOA.”

Humbled. Inspired. Moved.

I’m a frequent YouTuber at this point and everyday I look at my subscriptions to see who posted a video, what new videos I can watch, and look for others to subscribe to. This has become a habit, especially working in an office that has a “slow season” which we find ourselves in currently. OneContinue reading “Humbled. Inspired. Moved.”

Brave Enough to Fail

Failure is NEVER an option. Except when it is. And let’s be honest; sometimes it’s the ONLY option. It’s part of life and I hate that this is true, but it is. One of life’s hardest lessons has been learning that failure is not the worst that can happen. Obviously situations can change and failure might beContinue reading “Brave Enough to Fail”
