There is a quote about patience by Joyce Meyer that I have always loved: "Patience is not the ability to wait but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting." Having patience is hard. We know that much even as adults, which is why it is such an important social-emotional learning skill for us… Continue reading Teaching Patience

Lunch Notes and a Little Gratitude
Heyyy! Welcome back to our 30-Day Self-Care Challenge! I didn't get a chance to post yesterday because I was super busy with work, so I have included Day 2 and Day 3 right here. At first I was berating myself for not posting earlier, but then I was like "SELF-CARE here!" So, like I said… Continue reading Lunch Notes and a Little Gratitude
Did Someone Say Challenge?
A week or so ago, I asked my friends on social media if they would be interested in joining me in a 30-day self-care challenge. After all, I could definitely use the accountability and support that comes with having others take the journey with me. The response was overwhelmingly positive, and I am thrilled to… Continue reading Did Someone Say Challenge?
Book Review: Happy and You Know It
Nooooo.... This is one of those books you are So. Sad. To. See. End.

“To everything…there is a season.”
There is nothing quite as enchanting as the start of a new season. It's a time for renewal and a reminder that just as our seasons change, so can we.

Read a Book Day
I have one of those fun calendars that has the special "holidays" listed for each day of the year, and I always get excited when it's one I can actually enjoy (some of them are really bizarre - fun, but bizarre). So naturally when I saw today was Read a Book Day, I was right… Continue reading Read a Book Day
The Power of Pause
The semicolon. It's probably one of the least-used types of punctuation in written language. I'm not quite sure what the reason for that is. Maybe we just don't know what to do with it or when to use it. Maybe we should treat it with a little more respect like the period, or the exclamation… Continue reading The Power of Pause
JOMO: FOMO’s Better Half
FOMO: The fear of missing out. There is a good chance we have all been there at some point in our lives. Ahh, social media...the greatest blessing and curse. A party with no invite. A vacation while you sit at home. A pandemic that has canceled A LOT. FOMO. But...what if, just for today, we… Continue reading JOMO: FOMO’s Better Half
Find the Positive
It's no secret that happiness and emotional warmth go hand-in-hand. Happy people are naturally more kind to others, and kindness is contagious. It comes as no surprise, then, that one good deed leads to another, and kindness lifts the spirits of those who GIVE and RECEIVE.
