A few days ago someone told my husband about a change that they wanted to make in their life. He knows that my husband and I have had a crazy couple of years picking up and moving out of state and that we’re getting ready to do it again. He told my husband that he just isn’t “adventurous” like we are. Last week I was also scrolling through my Facebook feed from the past few years and noticed that someone…
Back in 2010, I started to focus a lot on personal development. Some areas of my life had completely fallen apart. I didn’t know what to do, what had gone wrong, or why I was having so many problems.

But, it also felt a little… I’m not sure the word I want to use… maybe “heavy”. It’s all important. I totally believe that. But, the last several months of life have been pretty rough around my household. Don’t get me wrong, we’ve had plenty of fun. But, there’s been a lot of…
The last few days I have been thinking a lot about fear. It used to be something that I dealt with on a regular basis. I didn’t realize it at the time, but looking back I would definitely say that I struggled with anxiety. Maybe you can relate. I probably should have talked to a counselor at that time, but I didn’t.
