Yes, it’s Thursday and I haven’t blogged in nearly a month because life is busy.
And life outside of the confines of the internet world has priority and is busy, so very busy.
Blessed but busy.
I hope you all are well!
Without further adieu,
Linking up with Mandy from House of Rose for Stop and Smell the Roses.
Today is Day Nine of the Blog Everyday in May Challenge from Story of My Life. The topic today is to capture a moment in your day.
The view from my voice lesson tonight, I’ve gotten back into lessons after 13 years. It’s bringing me such great joy!
Today is Day Eight of the Blog Everyday in May Challenge from Story of My Life. The topic today is: A piece of advice you have for others. Anything at all
Stop glorifying being busy.
Seriously, it’s not worth it. And trust me I’ve been guilty of it! We choose a lot in life especially obligations that we take on. You’re allowed to say no to things.
But really friends, it’s not cool to brag about being so busy. Your lengthy to do list or full planner pages don’t make you better than anyone else. Really, they just make you like everyone else. We as human beings are notoriously busy.
So instead of glorifying your busy, embrace the blessed life you do have and enjoy the moments right in front of you!
Blessings,
Today is Day Seven of the Blog Everyday in May Challenge from Story of My Life. The topic today is to respond to the following: If you couldn’t answer with your job, how would you answer the question, ‘what do you do?’.
Wow! that’s hard because I really do enjoy my work as an educator and it took me some time to come to that conclusion.
However, I would say I’m a freelance writer. I spend half of my year writing and meeting deadlines and the other half traveling for inspiration.
As I was on my way to school this morning, I turned on NPR for the first time in months and relished in a story about a man who had literally (as best he could) been walking around the world. He spoke of limited time to access to technology and to his publisher but that didn’t matter to him.
He walked deserts with nomads who were born survivors, he traveled with 900 camels on a boat to get from Africa to the Middle East.
I was fascinated. Truly fascinated. You can read more here.
But if I had my choice, I would do something like this. What an amazing way to see the world and engage with so many different kinds of people!
What would you do?
Blessings,
Today is Day Six of the Blog Everyday in May Challenge from Story of My Life. The topic today is: what are you afraid of?
This one was hard for me as I’m afraid of a lot of things in life. But the one thing that consistently comes to my mind is being myself.
Now, I know that sounds ridiculous at the age of of 32 but it’s true. I’ve gotten much better at it but I struggle daily on trying to fit rather than trying to be original and just stand out.
The funny part about all of this is that is takes a heck of lot more energy to not be yourself than it does to be yourself.
And frankly, people enjoy and honor that a whole lot more.
I think part of my hang up or fear comes from having a very comfortable life as child and always having to put a smile on and pretend everything is okay.
I know I cannot do that and I strive everyday to be more authentic and true in my feelings.
What are you afraid of?
Today is Day Five of the Blog Everyday in May Challenge from Story of My Life. The topic today is to write about your favorite blogger.
I have a lot of favorite bloggers so instead of writing about them, I’ve included a list of their websites.
These women are amazing and always share a kind word with me. I seek a lot of them out for advice even before consulting my IRL friends which I find funny.
Where There is Love, There is Life
Hope on over and show these ladies some love!
Blessings,
