Being Patient

Patience is something I am not always good at. I want to lose the 40 pounds now; save up $10k now; clear up my face of pimples now; have a perfectly clean house at all time; you get the idea. Having patience when driving is not a problem for me, but when it comes to

A Little Primer on Journalling

Journalling is no new idea, but I wanted to just talk about it here for a little while. Because if you are like me, a child of the 90s, then I’m sure you have journaled at some point and loved it. When I was growing up, I journaled all the time, with “medium point” Bic

Create A Daily Writing Habit

The majority of my life, minus when I was between the ages of, oh let’s say, 0-4, I have loved to write. Whether it is learning to write letters and writing my spelling words in first grade, to learning cursive in second or third grade, to journalling in sixth grade, and then after that personal
