A few days ago, I heard a sad story about a woman who gave birth to premature quadruplets and subsequently passed. The story has been weighing on my mind, because my story could have ended like that. We sometimes forget what a miracle it is to conceive and carry a healthy baby to term, and […]
Bella is struggling right now as her two-year molars try to pop through. Additionally, she may have some viral bug on top of that. So she is miserable with a painful mouth, runny nose, persistent cough, and fever. Today, I am thankful for the ability to be able to work from home, so that I […]
Today, I filled up my nearly-empty car for less than $25! I can’t remember the last time I was able to do that. Therefore, today I am thankful for both falling gas prices and my Food City Valuecard, which allows me to get an additional $.15/gallon off my gas visit. Woohoo!
Today, I am thankful for a job that allows me to use my coaching skills and experience. Today wrapped up a two-part class I taught to our young, budding leaders (and aspiring leaders) at our store. What an amazing experience to be able to cultivate young leaders!
Today, all of the Brown girls were thankful for a sunny day that also happened to be a little warmer. We played outside and thoroughly enjoyed the fresh air and sunshine! What a welcomed break from the cold, dreary winter weather!
Because of her prematurity, Bella has been part of the Early Intervention program since about a month after we brought her home (i.e. about 3 months old). When she started the program, she was slightly behind in all skills, so our goals were simple things: holding and playing with toys, rolling over, holding her head […]
Growing up, our family always struggled with money. My parents didn’t have the best financial skills, and therefore didn’t teach great habits to us kids either. As an adult, I continued to struggle with money until I was faced with filing bankruptcy. During that process, I had to take some courses on budgeting and such, […]
I am so very sore today. But I am thankful for that soreness, because it means I am kicking my body back into shape (or giving it my best effort, anyway). I did a killer workout yesterday, including weights, running, and even sprints. I felt AMAZING after my workout yesterday. But given that I’ve used […]
Three years ago, I started down a path to be a “coach”. I wasn’t exactly sure at that time what that meant or how to make it happen, but I had done some research on coaching, and I was convinced that it was what I was destined to do. Then life happened. I was laid […]
Today was a rainy day, but for mid-January, the temperature was surprisingly pleasant. So today, I am thankful for warm-ish temps in the middle of winter.
