I am Currently writing as I sit in the hospital room of my grandmothers as I watch her struggling to breathe- it is by far one of the worst things I have seen. The last couple weeks have been tough hearing and now seeing her decline. Death is not something that we like to talk… Continue reading Life as we know it

As the end of the year is coming to a close, I find it hard to believe that I have almost completed my 4th year of teaching orchestra! While some weeks seem to last forever, I have found that the sayings are true "The older you get the faster time flies." There were a lot… Continue reading Realizations of a 4th year Teacher!

Friends

  One of my favorite TV shows ever would have to be "Friends!" I just love it! I love the fact that these almost strangers became best friends through living in the same apartment building. They lived life together sharing in each others heart break, excitement, and day to day dramas. First off, I love… Continue reading Friends

I have always known that I had the best mom, but after teaching for a little while I began to realize really how incredible she was and is.  There are so many students that I have had that don't have the support I have had from my parents or the encouragement that I have had.… Continue reading Mother’s are the best

"And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:7   Peace- It's that moment you feel as though everything is right in your life... the moment the anxiety ceases, the moment you feel like you can breathe again. We have all experienced these… Continue reading Peace

REAL TALK: Bad days happen to us all, but it’s what we do in the moment and after the moment that’s really matters! Do we just allow ourselves to stay in the same mindset?! Can we get out of it?! -
-Anxiety has been hitting me HARD the past couple days and honestly before I started doing research on it, I would have thought the way I was feeling was normal. BUT ITS NOT and it’s ok to talk about. -
-
Yesterday I experienced a lot of anxiety and it started from the get go. I woke up feeling strange and tried to push past it, but it lingered all day. This morning I woke up at 5 and was about to do my workouts like normal, but due to the million and one things I have going on this week and to get done, I didn’t sleep too soundly. So I decided to change it up this morning, I went back to bed for a bit and then woke up and read my bible and did some refreshing yoga by the Christmas tree. -
-
-I don’t know what might help you if you’re feeling this way, maybe it’s just someone else saying they feel it too, but I know for me taking time to center myself and be with  God was exactly what I needed! I even turned to a passage that I fully believe God wanted me to read....
-
-
“I cried out to God for help; I cried out to God to hear me. When I was in distress, I sought the Lord; at night I stretched out untiring hands and my soul refused to be comforted...I will meditate on all your works and consider all your mighty deeds.” Psalm 77 -

NOBODY goes from 0-💯the first day of anything! You have to work on your goals each and everyday, taking BABY STEPS, picking yourself back up on rough days and giving yourself grace! 🙌🏻❤️
-
-
- So the next time you’re scrolling Instagram, and you’re wanting to be like someone else with their follower count, engagement, abs, career, etc., remember they didn’t get there in a day! CHOOSE A DIFF MINDSET- Instead of comparing, look at them as inspiration and KEEP CHUGGING ALONG! -
-(ps) my hair is so pink on top🤪🎉
❤️❤️❤️Have a FANTASTIC MONDAY!!! -

-Friday night, I got to check off another thing on my Christmas bucket list!!! 🙌🏻❤️Dave and I went on a search for the perfect REAL Christmas tree! Growing up my family always had an artificial tree and while I love the ease of an artificial tree, I have always wanted to walk around a Christmas tree farm and choose a tree! (Swipe to see more pics) We didn’t get to go to a tree farm this year, so I’m adding that to my bucket list for next year! Excited to decorate it today!!! -
-
Hope you all have a beautiful Sunday! Are you a real tree or artificial tree fan?! ⬇️⬇️⬇️
