Words to live by.

Good morning all! It’s been a while, new updates are to come. I’ve become comfortable with the idea that I’m not good at balancing my blog with graduate school! Ha. Oh well, graduation and my culminating seminar are just around the corner!! It’s already time to start job hunting. Ahh.

I’ve been trying to also get my health back in order. As you can imagine, I’ve been sick left and right due to snotty kiddo noses! Therefore I got sick a lot this year, and my muscles/workout ethic also went bye bye. I’m hoping to start posting some healthy food recipes to balance out my cupcake recipes!

Anyway, I found an amazing motivational piece on Pinterest this morning that I just had to share! I hope you find some meaning in it and have a blessed day!

Happy Tuesday all!

47/52: Wednesday Words of Wisdom – Gratitude

Considering tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and I have quite a bit to accomplish before then. Yes, I have put off my final grocery shopping for Thanksgiving baking/cooking until today — however in my defense, we just decided to do a small Thanksgiving of our own this last weekend. I have no excuse for putting off buying baking ingredients though. 😉 Rather than posting a yummy recipe, I thought we could all use some words of wisdom to start our day and put us in an appropriate mindset for the holiday tomorrow. Thanksgiving is probably one of my favorite holidays. I have so much to be gracious for – I try to live my life with gratitude everyday but I welcome the time to reflect and be thankful for everything that we so often look past. I enjoy this holiday the most because it is about family, and enjoying each other’s company. I am greatly looking forward to tomorrow!

What Thanksgiving traditions does your family have? What are you thankful for this holiday?

 

Happy early Thanksgiving to everyone. I hope you have a blessed holiday!

40/52: Wednesday Words of Wisdom…

I am obsessed with cute quote calendars. I am particularly in love with the calendar I have right now. I love turning the page every day to see something new and inspiring to set my day on the right path. Today’s quote was very special. Definitely worth sharing. Keep this in mind today and do something kind for someone else! Let’s create a ripple effect. 😉

Happy Wednesday!

Happy Independence Day!

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that
they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among
these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Can you name the “author” of this quote? Just a little Independence Day trivia for you! I hope everyone has a happy and safe Independence Day, and don’t forget to remember what we are celebrating today. We are free to be, so be grateful! Thank you to all the men and women who have and continue to fight for the freedom we celebrate today. God bless!
