What Comforts Me

  It's Friday and I am ready for a productive weekend at work! Grab a coffee and lets get go!

I thought today would be a good day to talk about some of my biggest comforts in life. 

Getting Closer to God
I have been taught my whole life that when things are getting crazy, turn to God. Pray about it or read about it in your Bible. I am always comforted by getting closer to God. When I put my focus on Him, I am reminded of what really matters in life. The hard day at work that has been making me a nervous wreck becomes the lesson I can learn from. I like reading about God's faithfulness, His love for me, and all that Jesus said when He was on earth. I like reading about the Holy Spirit being on earth now. I'm always comforted when I am trying to get close to our mighty God. 

Having a Cup of Coffee
Ahhh, I love having a cup of coffee alone, with Thomas, with Rachel via facetime, anytime, anywhere. Coffee is comforting to me, even though it is a stimulant. I find it relaxing to sip the warm beverage on a rainy day or on a nice, pretty day. Whenever I'm traveling, I always look for a Starbucks. Coffee is familiar. I love it. When I'm having a crazy day at work, I just sip my coffee and remember that everything will be okay. 

Getting Ready
So this is kind of weird, but I love getting ready. I find putting make up on so relaxing. I have loved putting it on since I started wearing it in seventh grade. It is a time when I guess I kind of go into a flow state. I know my makeup routine, it's the same every time I put it on. Plus, it helps me feel more confident. I know that once I have makeup on, I am ready to speak to anyone, do anything, and handle anything. I automatically feel productive. 

I feel like I dream of comfort all the time. Obviously, nobody wants to feel uncomfortable. Comfort might be one of the best feelings. Laying down in a comfortable bed, have a comfortable conversation with a new friend, all of it. Hopefully you can find some things that you know will always give you comfort and can use them as tools for everyday life!

Alright, that is all I have for today. Have a great weekend!

Our Last Monday in August

  Good morning! I am glad you're here 😄. Today I want to talk about what I am currently crocheting. Grab your crochet hooks, a cup of coffee, and let's get into it! I took this a few weeks ago, one Sunday evening. Thomas and I were hanging out on the deck with our dogs, enjoying the warm weather. I should be finishing up with these hot-girl squares and I'll let you know what I make of them! I learned how to make a new hot-girl square... a skull hot-girl square! They are so cute and so much easier than I thought they would be! I decided to learn how to make them one morning a couple weeks ago when Thomas and I were at the beach. It was a perfect morning. We grabbed iced lattes and acai bowls from our favorite beachside cafe, and enjoyed the entire morning in the sand.  My first one kind of resembled a storm trooper, but I have gotten a little better since this picture! I also decided that I am going to make blankets for my family and friends. I have mentioned this before, b...

Fall 2025 Goals!

Hello! I don't know about you, but I am absolutely ready for this long weekend. I have had a crazy week at work.  Anyway, I want to dedicate this post to my Fall 2025 Goals!  In no particular order, here is a list of some of my goals: 1. Decorate - I want to go all out this year. I have a blow up Snoopy and Great Pumpkin inflatable in my Walmart shopping cart online. I want to have a pretty assortment of pumpkins out on my stoop. Last year, we didn't really have decorations up for the trick-or-treaters, and I want to go all out this year. I will definitely be posting pictures of my progress! 2. Watch lots of football - This will be easy as my husband, Thomas, has an entire room in our house dedicated to watching games. Of course, I will be crocheting blankets while he has the game on tv.  3. Dress up for Halloween - We will probably go to one of our friend's Halloween parties this year, and I am excited to dress up! I'm not sure what Thomas and I will go as, but I am ex...

Decor, Discipline, and Maybe even a Scented Candle🍂🕯️

  Good morning, reader! I feel a mindful essay coming on! Grab a coffee and maybe a notebook, because this essay has some numbered bullet points!  I have been thinking about discipline a lot lately. I feel like it goes hand in hand with attention span, self-awareness, and ambition. Is it becoming more and more rare? They say with smart phones, everyone's attention spans are diminishing. I have noticed this with myself sometimes. This is not a judgement- just an observation I've made about myself and the world around me. And I want to refine it for myself. I want to be disciplined so that I can live my dream life.  I am dedicating this post to 3 ways to be more disciplined in a world that has little to none. So, let's begin! 1. Why do you want this? I believe you should first recognize why you want to achieve something. Is it for your health? Is it for your career? Maybe it's less extreme than that. Maybe it's for your home to be decorated for Halloween. Whatever it ...
