This latest installment of this supposedly 30 day cycle comes over a week from Day 5 due to having issues with a major toothache and a major readjustment to my anxiety meds. Which leads us to life lesson #6: Your mom won't make your appointments forever. Put your adult pants on and just call that … Continue reading Life Lessons – Take a Deep Breath and Call
Life Lessons – Pictures or It Didn’t Happen
Today's thought comes from something my grandpa told me constantly as I grew up and began to explore the world. It's probably one of the best things I learned from him before he passed away last year. So, life lesson #5: Make sure you take plenty of pictures along your journey. One of my favorite … Continue reading Life Lessons – Pictures or It Didn’t Happen
Life Lessons – Nostalgia is Inescapable
So, after battling doctors and dentist visits, I have returned to my tiny corner of the internet to continue with my 30 Thoughts journey. And thus, we have life lesson #4: Friends will come and go, but the memories will last forever. When I was in 11th grade, I ended up transferring to our county … Continue reading Life Lessons – Nostalgia is Inescapable
No Thoughts Today
Currently sitting at the dentist, waiting to have 3 fillings done. Ugh. I hate the dentist.
Life Lessons – Prepare for Change
Life Lesson #3: The views you held growing up are going to evolve. It's up to you to change how you see the world. I grew up in the middle of the Bible Belt. There's more churches in the Galax/Carroll/Grayson area of Virginia than there are businesses it seems. And when you grow up in … Continue reading Life Lessons – Prepare for Change
Life Lessons – Resets Are Okay

I feel like I have been hitting the rest button of my life since I started college in … Continue reading Life Lessons – Resets Are Okay
Damn, Dad, at it again with those art shows
September has been a crazy time for my dad and his art. At the beginning of the month, we had to take his King of the Mountain piece to Clayton, North Carolina (on the other side of Raleigh) for a month-long viewing. While he didn't place anything (again) he is still getting his name out … Continue reading Damn, Dad, at it again with those art shows
Life Lessons – Detours Will Happen
This is the first series of posts I have planned. The second series will be an ongoing one in 2020 (I'll unveil that later down the road). When I started thinking about this, I got a lot of influence from an interview Taylor Swift gave earlier this year for Elle Magazine. (Yes, I enjoy listening … Continue reading Life Lessons – Detours Will Happen
30 Thoughts for 30 Days
When I first started this blog, it's purpose was split into two ideas - to reflect upon my marriage and my adventures of adulthood and a challenge to myself to keep something updated for the remaining few months of my 20s. I had created a 30 before 30 list, a bucket list of things I … Continue reading 30 Thoughts for 30 Days
Taking Care of Me
I'm coming up on 3 months of being separated from my husband, and wow the difference I have seen in myself y'all. People comment all the time on how happier I seem and for the first time since I can remember I am actually smiling and not faking it. There are still days that I … Continue reading Taking Care of Me
