Shining Moments – January 12th – 18th, 2020
Can you believe we’re already halfway through January 2020? Weren’t we JUST watching the ball drop and celebrating a new year is here? This week was mostly about work (my full time job and Ubereats) and the stress regarding work was mostly about obtaining hours this week and the upcoming week. Even as a little stressful it was for me, I’m still in the practice of trying to find the silver lining in things. In no particular order, here goes! Shining Moments – Was able to secure a full weeks hours (40 hours, usually 5 shifts) in at work and only had to use up one vacation day – Have…

Happy Father’s Day!
Happy Father’s Day to all of the dads out there! There are so many forms of Dads but today is the day that we honor you! Today I want to shoutout my Dad on this Happy Father’s Day… This man is simply incredible • Definition of the most hardworking person I know – this man will work from sunup to sundown and get the job done and get the job done RIGHT. He doesn’t quit until the job is done or until he literally can not do it anymore (physical based or knowledge based). I learned the definition of what good honest work means from him •…

Happy First Day of Summer!
Happy First Day of Summer everyone! It’s officially here! Today marks the LONGEST day of the year and the beginning of the fun in the sun days. Graduations are over, school is out and it’s hot, hot, hot! Here in Charleston, we’ve been in the upper 80s to high 90s since before Memorial Day in May, but these past 2 days have had heat indexes of about 107 – 110. Usually I create a Summer schedule with each day having its own theme (check out last year’s Summer post here) but this year I’ve picked out 100 activities of my own creation/thoughts (there are SO many bucket lists on Pinterest). I’ve…

What I learned while watching Beauty and the Beast
Life has a funny way of presenting things to us, doesn’t it? One of my biggest hurdles lately is feeling that I’m not contributing too much and not being the type of influencer that I dream to be. Anybody there with me? In attempts to make inspirational words flow, I put on a movie in the background hoping that it would keep me focused enough to write. Ironically, the movie I put in for background became my reason to write and gained some clarity at the same time: Beauty and the Beast. A tale as old as time right? The Beauty and the Beast animated version came out…

May’s Reaching For the Stars
Happy May and welcome to this month’s edition of Reaching for the Stars! Where has the year gone? We’re already almost halfway there! It seems that FINALLY the US is getting Spring weather. While certainly not nearwhere as cold at the Midwest & Northeast, our weather here in Charleston has been all topsy – turvey. Only in the South can you be freezing in the morning & wrapped up in scarves and by lunch time the AC is on and we’re all trying to de-layer. As soon as I was ready to put away the heater, scarves and heavier blankets for airy sheets & shirts/dresses, Mother Nature decided to throw…
