It’s not news here but I’ve found myself deep within a writers block for a very long time. It’s come from so many places: feeling overwhelmed in some seasons, uninspired in others, not knowing what to say in fear of saying too much, feeling like I would be judged, or even simply just not wanting to share my thoughts. I was talking with Sam from Elah Tree about how hard it has been to find that motivation and inspiration and she said “just write about what you want to”.

So I’m taking a little writing prompt for November that I found on pinterest and I hope to make it through all 30 days of this month. At times I’m sure it will feel tedious and others I think it will be such a cathartic release. If you’re interested in joining me on this journey I’ll shoot you the prompts and we can follow along!


Q | Your goals for this month

This is basically a monthly goals / currently post for me so I’m going to put them together again! I really enjoy making monthly goals and currently posts as I think it helps set the tone for the days to come.


November Monthly Goals

  • Write every day using the prompts.
  • Track / Better manage my food intake and educate myself on the nutrition I’m eating.
  • BE PRESENT when I spend time with Eddie for a few days.
  • Keep moving every day.

Reading | I’ve been reading / listening to a few books recently. The Unhoneymooners, The Flatshare, Educated. I haven’t been reading as much as I would like to because I’ve been binge listening to podcasts or binge watching new shows (woot).

Eating | This butternut squash bisque. Not even kidding I went to world market yesterday to peruse their leftover Halloween and bought 3 jars. I fell in love with butternut squash soup while living in the northeast and It just brings me so much joy. I like to re-use the glass containers for my pantry! I’ve also been eating a lot of sweet potato avocado toast, sausage and veggies, and edamame; weird combination of foods I know

Planning | Our cross-country move/road trip. We still have a ways to go until Eddie is off the boat and we make the trek but It’s been fun planning where all we want to go (Yosemite, Grand Tetons / Jackson Hole, Colorado, Kansas, Memphis…) with where to stay and what to do!

Inspired By | The motivation of others. I love watching friends come into this knowledge of who they are and stepping forward into that. It’s always inspirational and motivating when you’re surrounded by people taking those next steps into a better life.

A Favorite Blog Read | This letter to a friend from Kiki is just, such a good read. I’ve also Not been reading as many blogs as I used to so I want to start carving out 15+ minutes a day to just touch base with my other bloggers and catch up. If you have favorite blogs/bloggers link them below so I can follow along too!

I have found myself reading a lot lately. It's my I have found myself reading a lot lately. It's my escape to get out of the house, travel, meet new people, and cross things off of my imaginative bucket list. We all know that this last year has been incredibly weird and  hard and we're still walking through it. 

⌓

I'm currently listening to the audiobook version of "The House in the Cerulean Sea" by @tjklunebooks & y'all it's so good. I'm always a fan of fantasy and this one is just a fun read. 

⌓

What is a book (or series) you've read recently that you LOVE and love recommending to others? I would love to add more to my list of books to dive into!

Haven't been feeling too 🔥 today so both cats h Haven't been feeling too 🔥 today so both cats have been snuggling and cuddling to bring some peace. 

As much as they can annoy me it's moments like this that remind me how happy I am for their fluffy butts. 

PS - life has been interesting lately (some amazing things, some great, some overwhelming, some scary, some frustrating) so I just haven't really felt like being super present on any social media or my blog. I still scroll and try to check in with all of you. 🖤
I laid in bed this morning staring at pinterest an I laid in bed this morning staring at pinterest and instagram of homes that bring me so much inspiration. I love our home and am so thankful for it, yet I find myself with all these ideas of what we should do next. 
⌓
It's hard to make certain changes knowing we have another period of time where we won't live here and someone else will (military PCSing within a few years). So full renovations of the kitchen and bathrooms more than likely won't happen because sometimes people don't take care of things they way you would. 
⌓
So If you need me I'll be dreaming of ways we can continue making our house a home while we are here.

Every kind and gentle word protects your worthiness. Every criticism and invalidation tears it down.
Assemble thoughtfully. ⋒

I was just talking to a friend today about the amount of time I've spent emotionally hating xyz about myself is exhausting and so wasteful. I've been working on a perspective shift over the last few months (still a daily process) and there really is something to be said about being the cheerleader for your own body and mind. If we all loved ourselves and were kind to ourselves just a little more who knows how the world would change.

Man oh man, life sure is interesting right now and Man oh man, life sure is interesting right now and I've been tresging through the waters of growth and finding myself incredibly tired. 

I'm always amazed at how my mind can so intensely focus on one thing and everything else ebbs and flows and I can accidently press pause on something that is equally important. While I've always prided myself as being an excellent multi-tasker I'm coming to learn that sometimes I really need to just focus on one thing at a time and it's ok (and a lesson in grace) to let the other things happen more slowly. 

What is something you're learning right now?
