5 Passions
Fittingly enough, after just posting about Passion Monday, my blog challenge for the day is on 5 passions! Passion describes an intense, and “barely controllable” emotion. When we are passionate about something, we are obsessed with it and put our all into it. Passion is aggressive, strong, and full of feeling. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/passion

Dream Job
Some little girls dream about being princesses when they grow up. Some, however, are more realistic. Usually, our ideal job / career is different than what we imagined it to be in our childhood. Personally I’ve changed my mind several times over the years. I recall reading somewhere that the part of our brains responsible for rational thinking and decision making don’t even form until our mid-twenties. That explains a lot – about a lot. As a youngin’, I dreamt of being a veterinarian, oddly enough I don’t even really like animals now. I mean don’t get me wrong, if I see a turtle crossing a highway I’ll stop to…

Igniting the Passion in your Marriage
Two of my favorite bloggers, Time-Warp Wife & Women Living Well have just released their newest Marriage Series, entitled: Ignite the fire. It’s a 3 week series, with a different sub-topic each Monday. This week the hot topic is passion, and it truly is a hot topic! We’re all familiar with that “butterflies in the tummy” feeling of young love, yes? The feeling you get when he walks into the room, grabs your hand, or even when you just get a text 😉 from your new beau? Why doesn’t he do that anymore? we ponder. Why did he stop wooing me? How did holding hands turn into walking single file…

The Hardest Thing
It’s hard to pinpoint the hardest thing that I’ve ever experienced. Having been a young mom in a unhealthy relationship at the time, that would probably be near the top of my list, except for the fact that I had the immense support of my mother and father to help me. Although I was originally super apprehensive about them finding out about my pregnancy, they were very loving and supportive. I thank God every day that my parents were pro-life and never even suggested abortion, although that would have been the “easy way out” at the time. I think back to a friend I had, the same age as me,…

5 Things that Make Me Happy
Happiness. Feeling pleasure, satisfaction, or joy. A state of well-being and contentment. How many people today can say that they are truly happy? I don’t mean the kind of happy that you feel on those days when you wake up and manage to not stub your toe while heading to Wawa to find out that they have your favorite pumpkin spice coffee when you arrive, your work day goes smooth and quick, & before you know if you’re home and the kids already have their homework finished and your husband decides to take you out to dinner and give you the night off. No, not that kind. That’s superficial happiness. …

Letter to my 16 Year Old Self
I am switching this up a bit from 10 things you would tell your 16 year old self if you could to just writing a letter to my 16 year old self. Reason being, I don’t know if I can genuinely come up with 10 things. Heck, there might be more or there might be less, I won’t know until I start. I think that a letter format would be much easier and more heartfelt anyhow, so feel free to improvise too if you are following along with your very own blog challenge. This is about having fun, we’re not being graded for following directions =) Dear 16 year old…

Parents
Words cannot express how thankful I am to have been raised by my parents. There are too many adults my age dealing with various issues because of their childhood upbringing. Now, I’m not saying that my parents were perfect, because they were far from it, but they tried so hard to give me a wonderful childhood. They had their fair share of “issues” when I was younger (mostly stuff I don’t remember) but they stayed together, and worked things out. Sadly, my father passed away in 2005, leaving my mom widowed and alone (I was living in an apartment at the time, with my ex and my son (who was…

3 Fears
    Fear is a funny thing. I never understood the popular TV series, Fear Factor, although I occasionally watched out of morbid curiosity. Some of the challenges, seemed more like “let’s be as disgusting as possible to get TV ratings and cause mass vomiting” rather than “man up and face your fears to win $$$”. Drinking puree’d caterpillars or laying in a bed full of worms wouldn’t exactly scare me, but it would give me the heebie jeebies and I’d probably opt out before the first challenge had even begun. Anyway, I think we all have our own idea what constitutes as fear, and our own validations…

Stay at Home Mom Guilt
When most of us think of mom’s suffering from feelings of guilt, we imagine the modern day working mom. The 9-5 mom who wakes up before the sun, rushing around to press her suit, make a (time-permitting) wholesome breakfast for her family, and dropping off her precious bundle of joy at daycare before sitting in bumper to bumper traffic heading to a cookie-cutter job position where she will count down the seconds until she can hear that little giggle and wipe those sticky fingers again. What we don’t usually imagine is the mom who is blessed to be home with her babies, all day, every day, rain or shine, in…
