I Started Crocheting in My 50s… and It Changed More Than I Expected 🧶✨
I never imagined that picking up a crochet hook in my 50s would become one of my favorite forms of self-care. Crochet helps calm my mind, ease my anxiety, and slow down in a world that always seems to be rushing. Every stitch reminds me to be patient, creative, and present. This little doll i

Went as well as I expected…
I came across this TikTok trend where people tell their significant other they signed up for caroling, so I figured I’d give it a try. My girlfriend isn’t exactly the biggest fan of Christmas compared to me, but I thought it’d be funny to see her reaction. Let’s just say… it went about as well as I

healing doesn’t look how I thought it would… some days I’m growing, some days I’m just trying to get through it. I’m learning to let go, to choose myself, to start over without guilt. and honestly… that’s been the hardest part. if even one of these felt like you… you’re not alone 🤍 which

“Some days are harder… but I’m learning how to cope 🤍”
Living with chronic illness isn’t something I talk about all the time… but it’s a big part of my everyday life. Some days are harder than others, and I don’t always feel like myself. But I’ve been trying to find small ways to make things feel a little lighter — slowing down, writing things

A hand holds the book "Crush" by Tracy Wolff, featuring a red geode and blood drop design. The cover reads "Trust no one." and "#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR." Overlays state "#2 in series" and "Currently READING."
🤍I like it more than I expected…
This series of books is very YA and as a 28 year old woman it was off putting, initially. But the more I read the more it is sucking me in (pun intended). If I ignore the fact that the main character is like 17 then I enjoy it a lot more. I’ve been pretending it’s based in a college and not a high

Three 'Emily in Paris' perfume bottles, two with pink bows and one with a blue bow, are displayed. The text overlay reads 'Emily in Paris perfumes ranked because like Emily, we deserve options.'
A hand holds the 'Emily in Paris Heartfelt' perfume bottle with a pink bow. Text details its notes: top (strawberry, champagne), middle (lychee, macaron, freesia, rose), and base (French vanilla, musk, sandalwood).
A hand holds the 'Emily in Paris Je t'aime' perfume bottle with a blue bow. Text describes its notes: top (pink pepper, raspberry), middle (French rose, gardenia), and base (amber, cashmere woods).
Emily in Paris perfumes ranked (this was harder than I expected)
I did rank these in order, but this was honestly hard because they’re all really good in different ways. My personal favorite is Heartfelt ( #1 ), then Je t’aime ( #2 ), then Signature ( #3 ), but depending on the day I could easily switch the order. I love it when my husband wears Pour Homme.

A stack of books with the text "This Book CRAKED ME OPEN (I wish I read it 5 years ago)" overlaid, promoting a book that offers a significant mindset shift.

This Book Hit Me Harder Than I Expected
Some books gently inspire you. This one? It calls you out. No Excuses by Brian Tracy reminded me that self-discipline is the ultimate self-respect. It’s the book I needed when I was stuck, tired, and full of reasons why “now’s not the time.” If you’re ready for a real mindset shift, read this

Self-acceptance is harder than expected
For most of my life, I thought that the negative things I said about myself were just signs of me becoming comfortable with who I was. It felt like a coping mechanism, like I was learning to take control of the narrative and not let anyone else's words affect me. But deep down, I never realized

A student's perspective at a library desk, featuring a laptop displaying a financial document and a green iced drink. An overlay reads "Hot take: me leaving class knowing imma have to teach everything myself," reflecting the frustration of self-teaching after unclear lectures.
Why are they expected to do anything but teaching?
Why is it that our responsibilities as a student go anywhere beyond studying a lesson? Every time I walk out of lecture, I’m like “Did I even learn anything?” Half the time, my teacher just goes through slides without explaining, doesn’t answer questions clearly. I end up staying up late Googli

STOP TRYING TO FIND THE WAY OUT.
​ ​We spend so much energy trying to "fix" our seasons, track our progress, and find the exit sign. ​But sometimes, the Shepherd doesn’t want you to find the way out. He wants you to be found by Him. ​Ezekiel 34:11 says: "I myself will search for my sheep and look after them." ​
