Maturing in Marriage

I saw this post and it made me laugh. I do this all the time to my husband when we are out to eat. I love trying a variety of things at a restaurant, and I want him to share with me. Most of the time he rolls his eyes, but gives in, when I ask him if he wants to get two dishes and share them. Maturing in marriage is understanding that when she can’t decide between two meals at a restaurant, it’s…

Make It Better

Recently, I had a conversation with a girlfriend about marriage. She told me she wasn’t happy and that she and her husband were having trouble as many couples do. I always feel sad when people are not happy, and I want to figure out how to help them make it better. Life is too short, and I want everyone to enjoy this one shot that we have at it. I know life is not all sunshine and roses. Life is…

Maturing

Sometimes it’s hard to realize this and sometimes hard to let go, but when someone has treated you disrespectfully, you no longer need that person. And if you decide to let them go, you don’t even have to have that final conversation with them. Life is too short to let others put you down or mistreat you for no reason. Be strong, my friends, and let those people go. Maturing is understanding…

Stop Waiting

I saw this post on Facebook the other day and had to repost it on my blog. Sometimes I think we wait too long. We wait for someone to invite us to the party. We wait for someone to go with us to the concert. We wait for someone to make us happy. We need to stop waiting and make things happen for ourselves. Take the trip, go to the concert, explore the world alone, and create your own…

England

A few months ago, My Prince had a three-day layover in England. He asked if I wanted to come over. Of course, I am a Yes, Woman so I said yes and made my way from Cleveland to London. Then I had to make my way to Cambridge via the train which was harder than I thought. I was so glad people there spoke English but with their heavy British accents it was hard to understand! My flight landed before…

Christmas Eve Wigilia

Christmas Eve is when My Rock and I celebrate with my family. It has been a tradition since I was little to celebrate the Polish tradition of Wigilia on Christmas Eve. We always helped Gram, Our Matriarch make pierogies the day before. Then they would chill in the garage because it was always cold enough in northwest Pennsylvania to leave them there. Traditionally, we would make potato and…

Recipe for Happiness

I saw this on social media the other day. I believe it is one hundred percent accurate. Many of us what for things to happen to be happy. We wait for the right time, the right place, or the right people. But what we need to learn is happiness depends on us. We are in control of our lives and our happiness. Let’s make it happen. If you want to be happy, have zero expectations of others, take 100%…

Happy Birthday Grandpa!

Today would have been my grandpa’s 99th birthday. It’s hard to believe he’s been gone eight years now. He lived a wonderful life of 90 years. He was a teacher, a coach, and a mentor. He coached golf, baseball, and basketball. He was the coach and athletic director for Alliance College, which was a small Polish college in Cambridge Springs, PA. He also coached many of my friends and me in middle…

Being Human

I believe we can all relate to this quote. We don’t need to be perfect. We shouldn’t even strive for perfection. But let’s realize that we are human. We make mistakes. Let’s learn from them and strive to be an excellent human being. “Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don’t try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being…

Do Better

We need to always do our best. Whatever our task is give it your best effort. Why go through tasks halfway? Put your best effort into everything you do. When you know what to expect than you can always do 1% better every day. “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better” — Maya Angelou Photo by Chang Ye on Unsplash

Stay True to You

Let’s stop worrying about what other people think of us and be ourselves. Let’s be 1% better every day only compared to ourselves of yesterday. Only compare yourself to who you used to be. “The minute you start caring about what other people think, is the minute you stop being yourself” — Meryl Streep Photo by Chela B. on Unsplash

Forever Friendships

Friendships come in all shapes and sizes. They say people come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. As you have read, my husband and I are truly blessed with amazing friends and family. We love all of you, but today, I want to talk about one special couple who inspired me to take chances. “True friendship resists time, distance and silence” A few weeks ago My Rock and I made…
