A Love Letter to Myself

I wrote this a couple weeks ago, closed the computer and never published. I’m ready now! I was watching “One Night Only Adele” yesterday. As usual, her songs hit me right in all the feels. Being able to see her feelings, her chatting with Oprah about her life and also the way that I think

Podcast Debut

I had the opportunity to be a guest on a Podcast last night!  Well technically the podcast will air in a couple of weeks, but it was recorded last night. Ever since I knew that Podcasts were a thing, it has been a bit of a dream of mine to be on one.  I think

Nothing to Lose

Hello, my name is Stephanie and one of my biggest challenges and maybe also biggest strengths is that I will tell you exactly what is on my mind. Want to know what I really think about something?  Just ask, because once it is out there in the universe I have a very difficult time keeping

Ten Minutes: Thesis Statement for Life

At the end of my devotion today Annie F. Downs asked the question what is the thesis statement for your life? One might think that it took a little bit of time for me to come up with, but then it hit me.  My thesis statement is my objective on my resume.  I have had

Ten Minutes: Brave in My Life

What is one way I am being brave in my life? Daring to think outside the box.  Daring to leave all that I know for what I believe I need. Thinking of leaving the comfort in order to receive the joy. It was like this once before.  I dared to dream and be where I

Transformation Tuesday: Week 12

So, it has been awhile since I have written on a Tuesday.  Things have been busy and I have been off my game!!! I have finally got my butt back into gear after moving and so today seemed like the right day to post. Last week I did all the paperwork that I needed to

Transformation Tuesday Week 9

Well…the results are in and as of today…I have lost 12.2 pounds.  Down another .4 pounds this week for a total weight of 157.8.  It feels really good to get on the scale and have a loss, no matter how small it is. I ate junk food with my kids this weekend, I took 2
