📢 New Post Alert!

Here's a reminder that people may do things while saying they love you-- that actually demonstrate the opposite of real love.

Head to https://t.co/iwdngLLz3N to read today's post, "What Love is NOT", and let me know your thoughts.

Happy #ValentinesDay 💕💕

@WeirdnLiberated I was at the University of Botswana for a semester in 2010 and taking some Psych & Soc classes towards my undergrad degree. Hands down, one of my fave experiences in life!

Even when things don't feel connected they are! Seemingly unrelated choices affect us and cause "ripples" for those around us. Read more about a specific "ripple effect" I experienced here, and then comment one of your own!

I love curbside pick up for all things. I ordered groceries so I could make Eggplant Parm for dinner & the inside of a Kroger on Sunday is NOT sexy!

Got home & saw all my ingredients
...
Except eggplant....which I didn't add to cart??
E̶g̶g̶p̶l̶a̶n̶t̶ Parm?... uhm.

10:15 AM- the kids are eating popsicles.

But they did have *breakfast* already...
Leftover fries- warmed up, of course!

Yes...dad was in charge of cuisine this morning. I'm going back to hide under the covers and pretend like I didn't see anything 🙈🙈

We can't always go full speed ahead towards our goals, but small progress is still progress! Do a little bit, even if you can't do as much as you'd like!

Roadways to reaching your goals:
▪Carefully examine your life to determine what you really want
▪Seek advice from people who have achieved your goals. Ask them how they got it & if it was worth going through what they had to endure
▪Set your goals high, but be realistic

👋🏾👋🏾 Hey there! Don't mind me.
Just another mom who should be sleeping because she's tired, but chose to enjoy the stillness of some *kids are asleep and I can hear myself think* solo time!
