In Conclusion- 2014

I know it has been a while since I have posted anything. I had to take, in all honesty, a mental health break. With the first semester of second year coming to a close, I was feeling worn out. Within my last two days of school, I had two papers and a huge project due. Needless to say, I was stressed. I let my treasured "me time" fall behind as I forged ahead, and it all caught up to me. All of my December Goals fell short (although I did paint my nails a couple times) However, after some time to sleep in and spend with family and friends, I was able to clear my mind. Am I feeling better? Absolutely. But I still have some work to do. My life requires a little bit of organization before I head back into school and dive into blogging again. I feel confident that I will be able to achieve this. I was doing so well for a few months, and looking ahead, I am determined to find my way once again.

In other news, I wish a Merry (belated) Christmas to everyone, and I hope your New Year is simply magical! I am looking forward to a week away to do some skiing with my dad and sister, and I will not be posting anything for the remainder of 2014. I am not one for New Resolution's because I believe you can make goals for yourself any time of year, but I hope to really stick to the regular Tuesday and Saturday schedule. I have a couple product reviews, book reviews, and exciting Pinterest activities in the line up. I'm still using my social media, so feel free to follow me on Instagram, Twitter, or Pinterest. If you've been reading this for a while, thanks for being part of my year!

Recently Read - October 2020

Is fall not the best reading season? I’m so glad I’ve had a few opportunities to sit on the front porch, wrapped in a fuzzy blanket with a hot drink and my book. Right now, it’s raining outside and all I want to do is cozy up and get back to my book. I’ve read some great non-fiction in the past six weeks. I’m learning so much about how people relate to the world around them. That is so important to me. Check them out! The Reason I Jump: The Inner Voice of a Thirteen-Year-Old Boy with Autism – Naoki Higashida – 4 Stars This is a very short book that I think everyone should read – particularly those who work with children. Although knowledge has come a long way, there is still so much more to be learned about autism. This book is a series of question that Naoki Higashida answers from his point of view. Interspersed is also a handful of short stories from Higashida’s point of view. It’s an i...

Book Review- A Treatise On Shelling Beans by Wieslaw Mysliwski

So this book took me way too long to read. I read before bed to shut my brain off, but I was so exhausted all summer that I was asleep as soon as I got into bed. It has been a long time, but I finally finished it! I took a good handful of quotes that sparked my thinking, so brace yourself! And if you’re interested in the tradition summer, you can find it here . 1. When people can be divided by something they always will be (9). Just think-the only thing that really divides us as people are differences. If we see someone who is a fraction of a fraction different than us, our minds consider it division. Why is that? Why must we let things get in the way of relationships? 2. All the more because if you ask me, these days the soul is a commodity like anything else. You can buy it and sell it, and the prices aren’t high (28) A popular book genre of the modern era is “self-help.” Lumped with that...
