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!

Halfway Through 2025

  “Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.”  — Carl Bard I don't know anything about Carl Bard, but I do love this quote. Today, we are starting the seventh month of 2025. Halfway through the year! Where did the time go? What were we doing? What will we do with what's left? If you're like me, you are probably wondering these questions too. I am going to dedicate this post to be an inspiration to make 2025 what you want it to be, even if we're 50% of the way through.  The First Half Is Over We should definitely celebrate what we accomplished the first half of the year. I love celebrating things. I think it's encouraging to keep going until you have accomplished something else worth celebrating. That being said, I don't like to be caught up on mistakes made or missed opportunities. I hate dwelling on the negative. One thing that is tough to address is that we can't change what has happened....

What I Read This Month

Listed below are some of the books I've read over the last several weeks. I think my taste in books has started to change from pure fiction to autobiography/memoirs. I am really liking true stories being shared, not just made up characters. I feel like I actually know these people because they're real. It's something I never considered reading, but I love it and maybe you will to!  Book # 1 Dinner for Vampires So I half physically read and half listened to the audio version, and I loved it! Bethany Joy Lenz is one of my favorite actresses on the Hallmark Channel, and I loved her character from One Tree Hill. I figured her life story would be interesting, and IT IS! It's about her life as a young adult in a real life cult. One thing I really liked about the audio version is that she actually narrates the whole thing, and sings in it, has some guest stars and she has such a great voice. I highly recommend.  Book # 2 The Third Gilmore Girl Oh Kelly Bishop... I had no idea ...

Slow Mornings

Slow mornings… Is there anything better than a nice, slow morning? Whether you are able to sleep in a couple extra hours, or if you are still the early riser you are on a work day, just taking everything slow. Enjoying the coffee for a little bit longer. Extending quiet time out a little longer. Maybe even going to brunch. If you’re like me, you probably associate slow mornings with vacation, and everyone is their best self on vacation.  Joey I love to spend slow mornings on my deck, with coffee, my bible and whatever Bible study I’m working through. My dogs accompany me as well. They run around the yard until they get tired from the heat and then they walk back up to the deck to lie down near me.  Another slow morning luxury- getting ready. Normally, I am busting through my usual 15 minute routine and trying to get out the door sooner rather than later. When I am able to get ready not in a rush- it is transcendent. I listen to a podcast, whatever new audio book I’m listening...
