Shining Moments: June 9th – 15th

Hello there! Welcome back to another edition of Shining Moments. Can you believe we’re already halfway through June?

I got sick with a sinus infection towards the end of the week (which explains why I’ve been feeling so off this week). This week’s list isn’t as big as it usually is as I’ve been focusing on resting most of the week. I decided to do a show and tell with pictures this week…

Happy Father’s Day!

Happy Father’s Day to all of the dads out there! There are so many forms of Dads but today is the day that we honor you!   Today I want to shoutout my Dad on this Happy Father’s Day… This man is simply incredible   • Definition of the most hardworking person I know – this man will work from sunup to sundown and get the job done and get the job done RIGHT. He doesn’t quit until the job is done or…

Halfway There and No Where

Anybody else feel that way? Halfway somewhere, halfway done with something, but yet not there? For me, it’s incredibly frustrating!

They said it’s hard to get started, but I feel that it’s harder to keep up that momentum and keeping going.  Take a look at New Year Resolutions – people make them, get going and get some momentum and then… something happens. They say it takes 21 days to make a habit…

June’s Reaching For the Stars

Happy June everyone! Can you believe we are already 5 months finished and almost halfway through the year?!?! It seems like we are just blowing by 2019. Since time is going so fast, it’s a good time to revisit goals made. There are some that I’m sure will not get accomplished this year, but that’s ok! May is usually a good month for me personally with reflection and new experiences or chapters in…

Happy Mother’s Day

Today is a special today, the 2nd Sunday of May and that’s Mother’s Day here in the US. I wish a Happy Mother’s Day to all types of moms – 2 legs, 4 legs, Rainbow babies, Moms-to-be and those who have mother-like spirits. All moms give great sacrifices and today I want to give a special honoring shoutout to my Mom. This woman is my rock ya’ll. She has a strength that is inspiring despite any life…

Shining Moments : April 28th – May 4th

Happy May everyone! Seriously, where has this year gone?! We’re already 5/12 months into the year. At least Spring is definitely here and has decided to stay so I am very grateful for that (it’s even already gotten into the low to mid 80s here – should be an interesting Summer temperature wise).  Let’s keep on going with the gratitude list, it’s time for the first installment of May’s Shining…

Shining Moments (1/13 – 1/19)

Hello everyone! Can you believe January is halfway over? Where did it go?! It’s that time again for another edition of Shining Moments –  weekly gratitude awareness and reflection.

This week was more of a struggle for me, felt like I was on an emotional roller coaster all week. #Honestycheck:  You know it gets rough when you’re crying while eating pizza at the same time.

Hi everyone! I hope that you’ve had a good week and a great weekend. I’m currently working today for my full time job, but I have some breaks in between (I’m currently writing this at the airport, improvising!!!). It’s that time again for Shining Moments, a weekly gratitude/awareness post.

Note: Since I’m at the airport and am writing this on the fly, I don’t have the pictures I wanted to attach…

Shining Moments : 12/30/18 – 1/5/19

I hope that everyone is having an amazing start to 2019.

It’s almost always bittersweet to see a year end and become nostalgic, but also eager for new adventures for an upcoming year. Work was quiet and I focused on getting things cleaned out of my desk (ALL the paper, I think we can all relate haha) and working on year end stuff for the accounting department. Christmas was nice and the last few…

2019 Goals + January Goals

I hope that everyone has had a great start to the New Year! It’s already Day 5, can you believe it?!

One of my goals is re-committing to writing blog posts again. I got wrapped up in personal things and I’ve been able to get some things finished up and other things off of my mind, so I’m ready to get focused on my Yearly Word: Roots.

This might sound like an odd word, but this year is about…

Wake Me Up When September ends… (Sept.2018 Recap and October Goals)

Hi everyone! What a month September has been, am I right?!

Everyone is officially back to school

The unofficial end of summer aka. Labor Day

Hurricane Florence hitting North Carolina but affecting South Carolina and Virginia {and word is the remnants are possibly coming back around for a re-run)

Fall is officially here (YES! My FAVE season)

My dad had an earlier wreck in the month (see week 2 of…

Shining Moments – September 2018 Week 2

Hello everyone! First thing: We are safe from Hurricane Florence *whew*. Hurricanes can be scary things even with all of the protection of property, evacuations and storm radar/forecasting. All of the preparedness was ready to go however if we had to.

So it’s that time again for Shining Moments, a weekly gratitude overview and reflection. This week’s reflection is about Preparedness and the…

Shining Moments – September 2018 – Week 3

Hello everyone! Seriously, where has September gone?! Wasn’t it just Labor day? But guess what, it’s that time again for Shining Moments, a weekly gratitude overview and reflection. This week’s reflection is about Normalcy.

I feel like this month has TOTALLY flown by, but then again with school back in session, Labor day, Hurricane Florence… I guess it was easy to get wrapped up in the chaos and…

August 2018 – Reaching for The Stars

Happy first day of August! It’s time for this month’s edition of Reaching For the Stars,  a monthly goal post. ( Who can believe school is almost here?! )

Let’s recap July’s goals:

Really sit with the planner as I am readjusting to new hours: 3:30pm – 12am 5x a week (8 hrs + 30 min break) instead of varying times of 10 hour shifts 4x a week (AND getting schedule a week in advance vs the whole…

Happy July 4th to everyone in the States. Today we celebrate America and it’s freedom. We celebrate with food, music, family and friends and end the night with beautiful bright fireworks in the sky.

There’s all kinds of ways to celebrate July 4th, whether you’re with family or friends, if you’re at a party, if you’re going solo or if you have to work (thank you to all of our Police, Fire, EMS,…

July Goals – Reaching For The Stars

Happy first day of July! It’s time for this month’s edition of Reaching For the Stars,  a monthly goal post. ( Who can believe this year is halfway over?! )

I don’t know about you, but this Summer has already been hot, hot hot!!! I’m talking about 95 with heat indexes up to 110-115 and it was only JUNE. Usually August is our hottest month here in Charleston, but I think we’re gonna have a contest…

Shining Moments – June 2018 (Week 1)

Hello everyone, I hope that you had another great week! It’s that time again for Shining Moments, a weekly gratitude overview and reflection. This week’s reflection is on the lost art of Thank You cards but first, this week’s gratitude/awesomeness:

  I got to spend time with my favorite two boys – we had a great time going to the park and playing bingo

My aunt and uncle are on a cruise for 5 days…
