What I've Learned This Week: Week 12

Hello, everyone! It's officially one week closer to Christmas and I'm really excited! I get my soldier back in two weeks and I can't stop thinking about it! But of course, I have enough material for this post! Enjoy!

I LEARNED THAT...



1. ... sometimes you have to face your fears to get your desired results. (It was oh-so worth it by the way.)

2. ... stress is a powerful thing and finding time to relax is key.

3. ... speaking your mind might get you in trouble but it's better than being taken advantage of. (at least in my case it was.)

4. ... reading truly is my escape and I prefer it to social media. (But I love blogging, of course.)

5. ... a watched pot never boils. I could use a bit more patience.

Well, that wraps up this week! Hope you all have a great weekend! I'm off to see the Rockettes tonight! I'm super excited!

What are you doing this weekend?

What I've Learned This Week: Week 8

This week has definitely been full of ups and downs for me but that's life, right? And in life, everything that happens to us teaches us something. Here's what I learned this week!

I LEARNED THAT...



1. ... forgiveness is not only for the other person, it's for you. Letting go of spite, hatred and hurt feelings in exchange for a second chance can be such a beautiful thing.

2. ... I am stronger than I ever could've imagined. Being an army wife isn't easy and it can make me crazy sometimes but I'm a survivor.

3. ... first impressions really are important.

4. ... stressing out only makes things worse. You're much more likely to succeed if you're calm and rational about the situation, instead of freaking yourself out over it.

5. ... people really can change.

That about wraps up today's post! What did you learn this week?
