February Intentions

Happy February to you, my lovelies! I am so thrilled to begin a fresh month, especially since we get a bonus day on the 29th. How did your January shape up?

Good Eats & Gratitude – #WLActionPlan Week 4

It can be awkward or downright scary to break free from comfort zones, but it can also be energizing to try something new.

Pause, Steep, Breathe

In a recent conversation with my Mister, he pointed out something I’ve known to be true my entire life. I write about it often and you may find pieces of yourself in my story. I tend to bite off more than I can chew. Eager aspirations, best intentions, and ambition-infused plans are my weakness…
