April Showers bring May Flowers!

Some years this is true… some years, not so much.

I’ve lived in New England for 20 years. In that time, there have been years we’ve seen Spring at the end of March, then there have been years there was no sign of Spring until June!

I am so grateful THIS YEAR we are seeing Spring flowers in April. With Coronavirus leading to quarantine and Social Distancing, Nature has been my saving grace. Bringing blue skies, cool breezes, and new blooms giving me a reason to hope, a reason to smile, and a tick on my gratitude list.

Positivity In A Time of Crisis

March 15, 2020April 9, 2020 AngieLeave a comment

During this time of social quarantine, school closures, supply panic and constant news loop of pandemic updates… try centering yourself.

Remember:

Who you are
What you believe in (faith)
What you value
Where your power lies (with YOU)
Take time to find forms of expression: art, writing, crafts, cooking…
Where do you find peace? Go there
Find ways to ground yourself in the HERE and NOW: meditation, music, breathing exercises

Stay strong! This too, shall pass. We will learn lessons and use them to be better prepared and more assured in the future.

Blessings

PROUD MOM MOMENT!!!

My Girl one FIRST PLACE at today’s State HOSA Conference.

Her first Conference!

Earlier this month she took a Veterinary Exam to place in competition for the conference. I was so proud of her for taking on the challenge. She had to take on extra study on top of an already rigorous school/study schedule of all Honors classes.

She’s working so hard toward her goal. She wants to go to Cornell for undergraduate and veterinary school. She knows how fierce tithe competition is and she’s set her sights high.

Purpose

It’s been a rough few days. Depression, anxiety, restless nights, challenging work situations to solve, and family members feeling stressed out… not sure what weighs more, but I’m tired and tired of sitting in this uncomfortable place.
