Blog post ideas . . . I have them, I assure you, but I just haven’t had the discipline to get them drafted. And I can’t really play the new baby / tired / no free time card because the fact of the matter is that he naps pretty well and pretty regularly, and I’ve… Read More Posts, Time Management, Accountability, and the rest
Hopping in with a quick post today that I hope will bring you some inspiration. I’ve been trying to implement mantras—well, a form of mantras, I guess—in my everyday life, and I love it, so I thought I’d share what’s working for me. I first started trying to use a mantra after hearing a yoga… Read More Mantras
Something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately is input. What we read, what we watch or listen to, the conversations we have—all of these things have the power to shape how we think and feel. I guess I’m just completely oblivious or something, but I never paid much attention to input until the last… Read More Thoughts on Input
Just popping in to say that there’s a new session of HelloMornings starting today. Won’t you join us? I’m hoping for a way to make myself more accountable for starting the day in the Word and getting things done. These next six weeks (the length of a HelloMornings session) will mean lots of changes for me.… Read More HelloMornings and a few end-of-year goals
Have you jumped on the One Little Word bandwagon yet? It’s a simple way to find a focus for the new year, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed having one little word for the past two years. My word for 2014 was intentional, and my word for 2015 was joy. And my word for 2016 is . .… Read More One Little Word for 2016
I’ve written before about how I’m not the biggest “Hooray, new year’s!” person ever. I still blame the fact that I tend to remember things more in terms of school years than calendar years. Regardless, I have a hard time getting into the whole goal–setting or resolution–making scheme. I’ve tried various tools over the years—worksheets,… Read More Hello, 2016
It’s a sultry 84 degrees while I’m typing this, but the calendar says October and I am a rule-follower if there ever was one. Pretty sure everyone out there already has this printable, but just in case—and to give credit—here’s the link. These two always crack me up. HGTV tells me this is called a… Read More Hey there, autumn. Don’t be shy.
Catching up on An Inspired Season this morning! Won’t you join us? Tuesday’s prompt: Pick a verse for your season and create something based on it. Well, let me just go ahead and tell you that Tuesday was a circus around here. I had big plans for this post. I’d found a printable from (in)courage and had… Read More An Inspired Season: Create + Reflect
Linking up with Bailey and Katie again for An Inspired Season! Today’s prompt: Write a bucket list that’s FOR your current season (focusing on things you can do and want to do in the very near future, rather than dreams for what you hope is ahead). Here’s my bucket list for my current season: – Eat at three… Read More An Inspired Season: Bucket List
Linking up with Bailey and Katie again for An Inspired Season! Today’s prompt: Describe your current season in pictures (make a mood board / art collage / whatever)! I scrolled through my Instagram and camera roll for pictures that helped capture what I love about the season I’m in right now. While in some ways this season feels… Read More An Inspired Season: My Season in Pictures
