Hi there! I started this blog to challenge myself to be vulnerable, so here goes: I’ve been struggling a bit in the mental health department.

Summer Goals
Hi! It’s summer, baby! It hasn’t fully hit me yet but I think I officially feel the tension starting to leave my jaw. I’ve been studying for a teacher certification test (I passed!!) & working on my grad school coursework. So while “summer break” is relative, I feel thankful to have some free time to [...]
Goals to Set for Yourself That Don’t Include “Lose X Amount of Pounds”

Tips for Becoming a (Reluctant) Morning Person!
I’ve always been a night owl. I love staying up late & sleeping in, & it’s been my default my whole life. My grandpa always used to tell me that my ideal work day would be between noon-8 pm; he was totally right! I teach 2nd grade, which isn’t exactly conducive to sleeping in or [...]
Don’t Let Others Dim Your Light
I’m sending you love on this gloomy Monday. I hope your week is as wonderful as you are! Happy (ish?) Monday! We have NO control over other people; what they say, what they do, how they interpret things you say or do. We can only control our own reactions. That’s easier said than done, but [...]
