On A Saturday Morning

As I sit here comfy in my bed next to my little Miss K I can't imagine a better way to start out my weekend. She reminds me if how innocent she is, how she doesn't care about anything in the world other than sharing her cinnamon toast crunch with our Boston Terrier.

This is our weekend tradition - dry cereal, cartoons, and snuggles.

Getting divorced has brought perspective to certain things. Things almost seem more difficult now than when we were a family of three.  I could just deal with the issues and take care of K. But when other obstacles come in the way,  there really isn't another choice.

There are so many days that I'm lonely and miss having a partner to help me out. I miss having true adult conversations and not just about daycare or what Christmas gifts K needs.

I truly get that life is complicated but it's only ad complicated as you allow it.  I may not truly believe that you have complete control over your destiny,  but you do have control over some of your happiness.

I have this fantastic chalk board with a barnwood frame in my kitchen.  I make it a goal to write a new quote or inspiring words each day. It's something small but lifts my spirits to acknowledge that life will get better eventually.... It just takes time. So, my quote,  "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens ME."

Stay strong and enjoy the view!

I've Got This

I've been silent for quite some time from this blog. At times I don't always know what to say and don't always want to have negative things going on to write about. However, at the same time I am so tired of having to be fake and being "OK" all the time. I'm not perfect, and I'm doing better. Some days are better than others and some days are even great. I'm so happy at where I am at these days and I am feeling so accomplished for so many things. At the same time, there are days where I feel like I'm thrown back and have to face everything head on all over again. I'm learning that my former extended family doesn't belong to me any more, especially now that there is another girl in A's life. I need to allow for her and A and his family to start their own memories and start developing whatever relationship is going to happen. I absolutely adore them and will always care about them. Seeing pictures of the lake, and the pontoon makes me m...

Catching up

It's been awhile since my last post but life has seen to be keeping me busy. The holidays were fine as usual and I was able to celebrate with a few friends. I still can't remember to write 2016 on my checks. I'm getting into the groove of teaching 3 classes a week at Vital Fit Club, which Racquetball Plus. My life has literally come in full circle. Because of how everything ended in my last communications position I've decided to look at new career options.  My self-esteem is so low on being able to complete anything correctly I just need to find my new niche. Every year in January I always ask myself why I live here in Minnesota, where winter is half the year!?! Oh well. Someday I will live in a warm state. If I try some spiralizing I will post pictures. Hope everyone has a great week and take a few minutes each day to reflect, center your body, and take a few relaxing breaths. 🎎

End of the Year Wrap Up

If I gave myself a dollar for every time I said, "Wow, time really flies by!" I'd likely have my student loans paid off. I haven't written a post in over 6 months, since my last post was June 11th. But once again, I have been busy...because who isn't!?! No excuses, but I have held back a little bit due to my new position and getting the feel for my new digs, new location, new job, new friends, new routine and all that jazz. Well, if you hadn't figured it out by now, shortly after my last post I was offered and accepted a position teaching full-time health. Exciting right!?! It was. It was absolutely the most amazing thing to ever experience hearing over the phone, we would like to offer you a position. It is even more amazing when you get the offer the same day of the interview, and even better when you left the interviewing thinking to yourself, this is where I need to be. This is where my career should begin. In my previous post "Where Have I been...
