Enjoying the Journey


This morning I woke up and decided to just enjoy the morning with the fresh air flow in the apartment. Last night was rough. Me and my boyfriend had a date night that ended in tears and yelling. We're struggling financially and it's put a lot of pressure on both of us. I try to remind him that financial struggle isn't worth stressing over.. It's not worth what it does to your health to stress about it. We made up, thankfully, and this morning I just want to sit back and relax. Too much stress and emotions happening last week. Inspired by K&K's bikini series grand prize announcement I am just going to be thankful today for how far I've come. My goal is to lose 60 lbs total, and I'm already almost 1/3 there. How amazing is that?! :) 

This pink shirt.... when I bought it it didn't fit. It was busting at the seams and I have never been able to wear it. This morning I pulled it out and WHAM! It fits.

I'm editing a book right now, trying to get it ready to start looking for a publisher. It was a project started with a friend, but due to motherly obligations she can no longer work on it. I think it's a great story and I have faith that others would enjoy reading it but there is a lot still to be edited. It's called Displaced. 
It's about two girls in college who decide to rush for a sorority to be closer to one of the girls boyfriends. The events that occur following their decision to rush lead to a much bigger, epic
discovery about who they are and what role they play in a very different tale.

Anyways, I'm off to continue editing. Later today we are going to possibly purchase tickets to see Big Fish on Broadway for my birthday. Then we might take a walk and enjoy this beautiful weather before it drops back into the 40's later in the week.

  1. U r getting so skinny! I know I'm sorry I can't help more with the book right now :(
    I wish I had help so I could have an hour or two of "me" time to read and write. Right now I hardly have the time or space to exercise either. I usually have to nap when she does because my nights get interrupted by the other residents of my house (Scot, Jadyn, fat cat). I will help more as soon as physically possible. I don't think I have sent you what I've even edited so far! I can at least do that when I get my laptop back. Great job with everything! This is the skinniest I've seen you I think? Idk you were pretty skinny when we met in 2010 lol then the beers got us!

  2. It's okay I understand I just hoped we have a publishing deal by now. lol! But yeah you should send me what you edited ASAP. I got my edits reprinted so I can do a round 2 of edits on the whole thing and it'd be good if I could include anything you edited in this round. :) And thanks! I think I'm as skinny as I was when we met. I weighed less then but I have way more muscle now. :)
