Just a girl, her life, and the details.

I remember the year I turned ten vividly. For some reason, it was a significant moment for me. It was the year I got my ears pierced, but that was only part of it. I remember feeling like I was so much more grown-up after that day passed.
Back in January, I chose the word “embrace” [...]

Just wanted to share that I have decided to join Brené Brown in the read-along she is doing on her blog.
I just finished listening to the first podcast, and it was wonderful!

I just sat down to write this post, and I turned on Pandora, and the first song that came up was Keep Breathing by Ingrid Michaelson. It seems like a perfect sentiment for this afternoon.
I don’t know if I have shared yet, but the boy and I are going to be moving back to Northern [...]

Sunday is the spring daylight savings time switch. We spring forward. We lose time. At this point in my semester, when I am trying to get my house on the market and get grading completed before Spring Break, this isn’t something that I was looking forward to.

As I have been reading through the year’s recaps all over blogland, I have been considering the manner that I wanted to recap the last year. I knew I wanted to recap all the crafty stuff I have accomplished the last year, but I wanted something more too. And, I stumbled across a cool idea [...]

Throughout 2008, I lived with the word fulfill for all the things it wasn’t as much as all that it was. I wrote about that journey here, so I won’t recap it all again. In my reflection about my year with “fulfill,” I also announced my word for 2009. I have decided that “embrace” is [...]

A few months ago on Christine Kane’s blog, I read a post asking for volunteers to write about their word for the day. I didn’t even hesitate; I just sent in my request to write about my journey with the word “fulfill” throughout the last year. It was an absolute yes, so when I received [...]

For the last few days, I have been working on a post with the original title up there. I had my dilemma all laid out. I explained that I am between a place of should and want in my life, and I feel run over by my to do list of what [...]
