What are some of your “simple” life’s pleasures? It’s Saturday morning, 8:50am. My body woke up at 7:51am this morning. My alarm was set for 9:35am. That was a “just in case” alarm. I went to bed around midnight last night. I typically do not sleep in past 8am most days. I set that alarm because that’s the latest I […]
“Slaying Empathy”
Would you define yourself as an empathetic person? “Empathy: the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.” As a public defender, we stress the importance of empathy. A good lawyer and advocate would be empathetic to what their client is dealing with so that they can put forth the best defense. See the client as a human, not […]
“The Dynamic Duo”
What quality have you’ve been trying to strengthen in yourself lately? It’s 2024. It’s a new year. It’s a new month. It’s a new week. And it’s a new day. I’m off social media right now. It’s one of the things I chose to do as I entered into this new year. I originally had a list of “resolutions” jotted […]
“5 Things Every Healthy Friendship Needs”
Have you ever received counseling from a friendship coach? I am 33 years old. I have many lifelong friends and many people who I was once super close with but now not so much. I have had friendships that have taught me a lot about myself. I have had friendships that required me to teach my friends some things. I […]
“Fly Part 2 – Ephesians 3:20”
If money and time weren’t a factor, what’s one thing you would do? Hey hey hey! It’s meee! 🙂 I know, I know, it’s been MONTHS since I’ve written something. It’s been months since you’ve received a notification about a new blog post. Unsure how many of you are upset about the fact I haven’t published a new post in […]
“Fly Part 1 – Isaiah 40:31”
What are some examples of good character? One thing about my family is, we know how to soar! Whatever it is we want to achieve in life, whether it be a long-term life goal or just one of life’s daily tasks, we put our all into it and we never fail. Even if we don’t achieve that thing the first […]
“Celebrate and Date Yourself!”
When was the last time you took yourself out on a date? When I was in college, my mime leader (who was also like a mentor to me) told me that he would take Jesus out on dates all the time. He would take Him out to dinner, the movies, you name it. Now, not all of us may call […]
“It’s Out of Your Control”
Are you someone who always has to be in control of everything? There are 2 things that will forever be constant about life — (1) the world is continuously going/moving and (2) there will be things that are simply out of our control. Yes, I am someone who always has to be in control of everything. And one of the […]
“Upside Down Holidays”
How have you all been?! I’ve been binge-watching this show on Netflix called Elite. Because I am terrible at informatively but briefly describing what a show is about, this is how Wikipedia describes it: “Elite is a Spanish drama television series created for Netflix by Carlos Montero and Darío Madrona. The series is set in Las Encinas, a fictional elite […]
“Quick, Fast, & in a Hurry”
What’s one thing you’re grateful for from the pandemic? I can’t believe we are almost 3 years into this COVID pandemic! I feel like it was just yesterday when I was doing my job cleaning the gym (when I owned a cleaning business), and the whole world shut down around me. All of the local businesses in Athens stopped serving […]
