I have experienced a lot of rejection in my life... And, I'm not just talking about from guys, although, that has been a lot of it. Schools, jobs, friends, even fellow Christians. And, it sucks. I often wonder...What if...? What if this person hadn't rejected me? What if I had gotten this job? What if … Continue reading The Beauty of Rejection

The Growing
This week's Tuesday @ 10 word is "Grow"... so many ways one can go with that. But, tonight, I don't feel much grown. After many tears today, especially the last couple of hours, my eyes burn; left my throat sore & raw, my lungs burning from irregular air flow. My body exhausted. Instead of feeling … Continue reading The Growing
I am #ProHealth
A broken mind cannot produce a healthy body...and likely will destroy it... Give... That's what this week's Tuesday @ 10 prompt is over at Finding the Grace Within. Mine will be quite a bit different, different than what I'm used to posting & different from what many are expecting to read when they see the prompt. In 2015, … Continue reading I am #ProHealth
Between There & Here
Somewhere in the last year and a half, I lost her... I lost who I was, and who I was working to be. I became so consumed with school, work, switching jobs, more work, more homework...and just the waiting. I've been exhausted. I've been making excuses. I've stopped looking. But, now, no more … Continue reading Between There & Here
The Right Reason
This week, as I read the Tuesday @ Ten prompt FEAR, I had a hard time centering in on what I'd want to write about. I've already dredged up my worries & anxieties here; they aren't quite a secret. But, Young Adults group last night & events today made me see some of my fear in a new … Continue reading The Right Reason
Hold – Five Minute Friday
This week, I'm doing Five Minute Friday on Sunday, because I did Tuesday @ 10 on Friday. The Tuesday @ 10 prompt, CHOICE, has had me thinking, mostly because I have had a difficult choice to make recently. The Five Minute Friday rules are this: write for 5 minutes, no over-editing. Just what comes. Then … Continue reading Hold – Five Minute Friday
So there’s this guy…
Yep, there's a guy. The Airman and I have had three dates now. I guess you'd call it hanging out or dating or something...but 3 dates have happened and a fourth is in the works. How strange that in the matter of a month, I have gone from 0 dates to 3 - and I'm … Continue reading So there’s this guy…
One…
The "Adventures in (Pre-)Dating" tab in the menu above has officially changed to "Adventures in Dating". Why? You might ask... In my last post, I introduced the Airman. Since then, he decided he wanted to meet for coffee. So, we met for coffee. That's right, at 25 years and 10 months old, I had my … Continue reading One…
One Day – A Lesson in Boldness
It was a cool October Saturday; it started off dreary, but by afternoon, the California sun was shining.I was just getting over a bad cold and still feeling awful. I wanted nothing more than to stay home in bed, but instead, I had a mandatory all-day class. So, as I'm prone to when I don't … Continue reading One Day – A Lesson in Boldness
Confidence
In my last post, "Don't dress stupid", I quoted a line from the most recent HIMYM:"The real challenge is walking up to a [girl] I've never met before and somehow talking to her with words from my mouth..."Exactly...When I'm with my friends or coworkers, I often find myself saying, "yeah, and I'm the quiet one … Continue reading Confidence
