Journaling Prompt

What made me feel most like myself today? There are those days that I feel like I am struggling to feel normal. There are those days that I feel like I have no idea who I am. Today was not one of those days. What makes me feel most like myself? Getting up and putting on nice clothes and fixing my hair. There is nothing like being able to look in the mirror and say, "Yes, today I look awesome!!" I go into my room and close the door. I blast those songs that you really don't want the kids to hear, and I dance and get myself ready. I love it. It makes me feel SPECTACULAR!! 

What made you feel like yourself today? Leave me a comment below letting me know.

What Did I Do Today That Was Difficult?

Today it was difficult to see the beauty in the world. I like to pride myself on being able to see the beauty in every situation, but this week has made that difficult. Then I went to the lovely Target (who gets way too much of my money *wink*), and I saw these flowers. They were planted throughout the parking lot and something just pulled me to them. I knew I needed a picture that I could morph and play with. I am sure that I looked like that crazy lady out there with my phone snapping pictures of the bushes in the parking lot. OH WELL!! They were beautiful, and I knew that somehow they would fit with my blog for the day.

Chasing My Dreams

Chasing your dreams becomes increasingly harder the older you get. A smart person leaves home after high school and goes off to college. I so wish that I would have done this and experienced the college life (frat parties and Spring Break *wink*). I got married, had children, and then went to college. Well guess what?! I got to spend my nights doing school work and my days cleaning house and changing diapers. FUN!! 

I have always known that I wanted to write. I want to publish several books. I want to edit other people's books. I want to be in the publishing community in any way that I can.  

What Do I Feel Certain About Today?

Today I feel certain that I will hold my children tighter. I had to experience a heartache with my children today after discovering the little boy that we had helped search for had actually been killed by a family member. Today I am certain that these three lil' people above are my world. I am certain that I could not imagine my life without them. I am certain that everything that I do, I do for them. I have come to realize that even when what I am doing is all about myself that it is actually to make me better for them. When I am chasing my dreams, it is to teach my children that they should always chase theirs. Today I am certain that almost my entire life exist in just one picture above.

What Am I Wishing For Today?

Today I am wishing for peace. I am wishing for a quiet place to vacation. I want to be able to disappear from the world for a little while and just recenter myself. I wish that I could just take off with my family and a tent for a week. There is nothing like the quiet of 6 A.M. in the wilderness. There is nothing like sitting around a campfire and just enjoying the company of each other without all the electronics and noise of the world. Today I wish for life. A life that is simpler than what I have now. Today I wish for peace.

What Can I do to Make Things Better Today?

Let me start off first by saying that I have decided that I needed to do something to hold me accountable to my blog. It is so hard trying to blog every day or even every other day. I have so far completely failed at it, but that is all about to change. I am going to be doing a journal every day. I stumbled across Brave Girls Club on Pinterest. Their prompts are SPECTACULAR. I have decided that I will use those for my daily journals. If you would like to participate, head on over to the Brave Girls Club website with the link above and jump right in!! After today, I will just be posting the title and writing. 



What can I do to make things better today? I can be more loving. I unfortunately let the world get the best of me sometimes which then causes me to kind of shut down. I can focus more on myself and following my dreams instead of just supporting everyone else's. I will start my day today knowing that the first thing I did this morning was write this blog. The first thing that I did was focus on my dream. That is a good feeling. 

A Tortured Soul

Today I decided to give you guys a big treat. This is a poetic something (I don't really know what to call it) that I wrote a little while back. This is going to invoke some strong feelings and reactions from people (possibly you). Read carefully and with an open mind. If you are not open minded, then you will fail to understand where this story comes from. 

A Tortured Soul

            There is an old saying that the eyes are the window to the soul. Supposedly if you stare into someone’s eyes long enough you can see deep down in to their soul and see exactly what they feel and what they are truly made of.  People look into mine and they see mystery. If they only looked harder, they would see that there is no mystery. In my soul lies darkness, torture, sadness, and anger. The type of darkness that is all consuming. The darkness rushes over my every being until I cannot see or find my way out. My first instinct is to fight, fight my way out. I fight as if my life depends on it, and what no one realizes is that it truly does.
