I lied.

Today I lied. I told a lie that could change my entire future.

Why did I lie? I know it will only end up hurting me. I will forever have it haunting me.

Here I sit in my anxiety. Fear and guilt is what this lie has done to me.

I told a lie. Why? I know it can hurt me.

An Ode to the Library

Oh library, how art thou love so great and pure? I do not know how I will ever repay you for thy gifts I have received with the swipe of a card. 

I seriously don’t know why it took me 26 years until I got a library card but it is amazeballs. Free entertainment? Alright alright! Nothing beats sitting out on my porch, reading a good book and drinking some vino. Now THAT is on the Dave Ramsey plan.

My ideal day...

Before I stated I will start writing about “knowing thyself”.

Today I will start upon my ideal day. Waking up every morning with energy, wanting to get up and cooking my husband and child breakfast. By breakfast I mean more than a pop tart and cup of coffee. 

Once my husband and daughter go off to work and school I will clean my kitchen, get into my workout gear and begin an awesome yoga routine. Take 30 minute to an hour just for me. Get my shower, dress and conquer some to-dos around my home. Start a garden where I can feed my family fresh food that WE grew.

When it gets close to school to dismiss I will get my daughter. She and I would begin the homework battle. When we are done with school work I will prepare for dinner. Cooking something healthy and fresh everyday for us nightly would bring me joy. 

Having dinner ready for my husband when comes in from work accomplishment for myself. After dinner we would clean the kitchen and head out for a little walk outside to get some fresh air. Our daughter would play on her swing set.

We would come inside start getting ready for bed. Our daughter would get a bath and in her jammies, read book, say our prayers, and head off to dream land. Hubby and I would watch a TV show, read a book, or make love before heading off to bed.

I know not everyone will have my same idea of dream day, but for me this is something I would like. I would like for life to move a little more in slow motion. I feel like my husband and I move so fast that we miss so much. Sitting back and relaxing a little more would be prefect for us. 

I would love to hear how others vision their dream day...
