Rise Above The Table (1 – 2 minute read)


So since the 1600’s the term influencer has been inciting both good and bad behaviors in everyone. As of late, it’s also a term that I’ve heard used more often than ever.

What is an influencer? Someone who promotes an idea or product right?

There are influencers all around us everyday and everywhere. At work, home, friends, family, and acquaintances included.

Don’t be influenced. Stop and think. When you are being offered something, anything, what is the feeling or thought you are having before you take someone up on that offer? It can be something as little as a drink, food, or something to do. Do you feel any hesitations whatsoever? Good, bad, or indifferent feelings? Stop and give yourself just 2 – 3 second quick evaluation in your head. Do I want this? If you have to ask yourself that question then say no for the time being and then make the decision.

Whatever it is, whether it’s an invite, a drink, or as little as something to eat, don’t feel pressured, don’t go, don’t eat it, don’t drink it. You have to do you. Never feel you have to do anything just for the sake of doing it because you’re in the moment. Do it because you truly want to.

Take care of YOU because no one else will.

My front porch


This is minimalism at its best. All this took took was a fresh coat of paint and a garage sale find for $80 bucks.

Sitting on a porch is the best therapy a person can get.

Life can be simple if you truly want it to be. Less is definitely more.

Good Morning


This is the view out my window this morning. So serene. It doesn’t get any better than this. I am truly blessed.

This is actually the view out my boyfriend’s window but we are contemplating having the boys and I move in. For now we are taking it one day at a time.

It is a good feeling knowing that there are options out there. I love the house I’m renting now but it is quite tiny and no yard whatsoever. But it is adorable. I’ll post some pics soon.

My boyfriend built his own home attached to his business. It is on 3 acres and the views are spectacular. He wants us to move in with him and his daughter like yesterday. I’m just taking it slow and want it to be perfect when we do.

You can’t always rush in to things. You have to take time to think it out. I love him and our family has a perfect fit but I’ll know when the time is right.

Why am I sharing this with you? I have no clue! I just love rambling on about my life sometimes lol. I have my ups and downs too just like everyone else.

Have a great hump day! Enjoy life.

In between


There are days when you feel like you are so in between and you can’t decide on which way to go. That goes to say with anything, love, relationships, major life decisions, etc. How do you decided on what path to take? My theory on that is let it play out by it self and let time work for you. Everything needs time. When the decision arises stop and breathe then let the dust settle and see where it all falls. That does not happen instantaneously. It takes time.

I let time work for me so I don’t have to do all the contemplating on what to do. When I do that sometimes the answer for my decision pops up right in front of my face for me.

Let go of the inevitable and breathe. In due time the answer will come to you too.
