Dear Future Child, I started this series because I wanted a way to communicate to you through a platform that I’ve cultivated over the years and want you to someday be a part of. Until then, I want to prepare … Continue reading A Letter To My Future Child: Falling in Love, Heartbreak, and Anything in Between
I’ve been meaning to write this post for a while, but every time I get around to it, the Universe sends more love my way. But, here I am anyways, because some blessings need to be recognized and accepted in … Continue reading Feminine Energy
I have always been very open and honest on this blog, because the main reason I even write is to share my story and my life with an audience/community. But I haven’t been keeping up lately, literally and figuratively. I’ve … Continue reading Puppies, Pals, and the Pursuit of Peace
I am drawing this series to a close with a few remarks. This is a time of transitioning for me. I am in between learning how to let go of being a teenager and accepting what it means to live … Continue reading R&F: Endings to Beginnings
Reflection: My camera roll has now grown to over 11,000 pictures in the past three years, and I haven’t deleted anything since then. I have mixed feelings about the whole situation, because I’m glad that I can look back at … Continue reading R&F: Out of Focus
Reflection: Nothing has changed about the will to improve my writing. I genuinely have always sought out ways to enhance my practice, and this post has inspired me to continue with the journal prompts, because we all need a little … Continue reading R&F: Journal Writing Prompt #151
I’m assuming that the title enough gives away what I’m about to talk about, and I’m excited to address/admit to the fact that I still watch reruns of Jersey Shore shamelessly. I have met other scholarly-inclined people in my career and schooling, people who preach about the dangers and time consumption of television- especially the mind-numbingly pointless garbage reality shows (not my words), and if one wants to succeed in life, he or she must not spend time sitting idly by leaving Cheeto-dust fingerprints on the remote as they switch channels. The theory behind this behavior is a psychological one … Continue reading Confession: I Watch Jersey Shore
Dear Future Child, Everyone functions differently. I’m sure you are aware at this point in your life that I’m a planner. I get it from my own mom and despite the “stress” it causes her and the family, according to my father, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Planning each month, each week, each day brings me comfort, security, and satisfaction that I’m doing something with my life, but I sometimes worry that I won’t ever get over this feeling of endless desire to reach the greater purpose of my life (and help you reach yours, of course). I’ll … Continue reading A Letter to My Future Child: Planning with Patience
Dear Future Child, I wanted to teach you a lesson about grandparents. A lesson that will make you run into their arms every time you don’t get your way (or when I refuse your dictator requests for more popsicles, like I did often to my mother). Because believe it or not, grandparents can be your closest ally, after your father and I of course. You wouldn’t believe that amount of support you already have, my dear child. Between your parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents you are immensely loved and treasured. You will be our greatest joy, and greatest worry. … Continue reading Grandparents: A Letter to My Future Child
Dear Future Child, What I’m about to share is something I struggle with, but I’m not alone. I’m going to do everything I can to teach you how to overcome this problem, so you don’t have the same struggles that Mom does. Dad will be happy I’m sharing this with you. Money isn’t everything, even though it often seems like it is. Money buys nice cars, diamond earrings, new dresses, sparkly shoes, healthy food, restaurant food, big houses, and fun trips. It buys important things like education, good health, and professional help when you can’t do something on your own. … Continue reading A Letter To My Future Child: Five Things Money Can’t Buy
