Man, this world can be a scary place.  You just look at the news and it blows your mind away. Natural disasters.  Shootings. Deaths. Lots of them. It’s hard to not start living from a place of fear. Fear of going out. Fear of doing anything. Fear of living your life. But is that really […]

Do you ever feel like you life is out of control? Like, totally chaotic?  I have been feeling a lot of that. Mainly at school. And in other areas of my life. Probably because I work 1 1/2 jobs and am planning a wedding. LOL. And it’s not even “controlled” chaos. It can be pretty […]

I have a lot going on right now. A lot I could get worked up about. And in all honesty, I do to some degree. Get worked up, I mean. But I am trying really really hard to just let it go as soon as I can. Feel what I need to feel. Have my […]

There are certain things I do every day. Even when I don’t feel like it. Working out is one of them. “I’m too tired…” “I’m sore…” “I have my monthly visitor…” (right, ladies? UGH.) But there is something about being consistent. It creates habit. Like writing this blog. I really really didn’t feel like writing […]

I’ve been spending a lot of time picking out music for my wedding and have come up with a pretty cool piano “playlist” for the prelude and processional. Totally excited about it! But it got me to thinking about what I listen to when I workout. It’s funny, I listen to very different music when […]

People often ask me what my diet is like and what I eat every day.  I’m a creature of habit. So when I was in competition prep and having to eat the SAME THING EVERY DAY, it really didn’t bother me all that much. I have kind of kept to that routine but am not […]

Facebook and social media can be sooooo deceptive.  All the happy posts. The happy pictures. The picture perfect poses. It’s like a movie reel of “best of”s. You don’t see the real behind-the-scenes.  The imperfections. The tough times. The sad moments. The angry moments. The fights. The moments we wish we could undo and make […]

Today I finished another 365 day orbit around the sun. Just finished up my 37th year on this planet. Yup. It’s my birthday. 😃 I tend to get a bit reflective around this time. And man has A LOT happened since last September. I completed my first year as an elementary school general music teacher. […]

On the weekends I take time to have fun. Well, as much “fun” as one can have in the midst of wedding planning. LOL! It’s actually not that bad. At all. But I feel like my mind is constantly buzzing with wedding stuff in the background. Because there’s always something to still do, something to […]

I woke up at 4:15 am this morning.  On purpose. I know. Craziness. Why? Because I needed to be at school earlier but still wanted to have time for my morning routine and workout. Turns out the 5:30 am gym vibe is quite different than the 6:15 am vibe. I actually really liked it. Everything I […]
