You know that saying if you can't beat em, join em. That's how I'm feeling about the sun right now. It's officially summer and the heat is going to sit on us without the frequent spring showers.

Motivational Mondays with Trisha: Less Reactive
You know, it was hard finding quotes for reactive antonyms. They were all negative, which almost made being reactive look like a virtue. The opposite of reactive is someone that is out of touch with their emotions, which then turns into toxic behavior. That's not what I wanted to promote today. Turns out, adding "less"...

Motivational Mondays with Trisha: Explore
When you hear the word explore, What's the first thought that comes to mind? Is it adventure? Traveling? Does it sound expensive or uncertain? It can be all these things, but it doesn't have to be expensive. In fact, you can make getting to know your county better a cause for exploration. I know it... Continue Reading →
Meme Mondays with Trisha: Brooklyn Nine Nine
Honestly, this post came about, because of our first meme. I was minding my business scrolling Facebook when suddenly...I saw the Pontiac Bandit aka Doug Judy. So, of course I had to read the meme.

Meme Mondays with Trisha: Mother’s Day
You know, there's been a run-on joke about what Mothers really want for Mother's Day. To do absolutely nothing. To indulge in our favorite hobbies without interruption. To temporarily turn off that Spidey sense of children embarking in reckless behavior. Alas motherhood is a year-round with little to know daily breaks. So, why is it... Continue Reading →
Motivational Mondays with Trisha: Grief
You're probably wondering, "What's motivational about grief?" Well, it's something that many of us try to avoid. Denying this natural emotion can do more harm than good.

Motivational Mondays with Trisha: Ocean
It seems that Summer is swiftly heading our way. It makes me think about ways to beat the heat. Naturally, water comes to mind. Pools, water balloons, slip'n'slides, and water guns fill shopping carts, but what about the unrestricted water. The kind that puts life into perspective. That my friend would be the ocean. A...
