LCNS/Four Diamond Mini-THON

I'm not one to ask for donations for anything. Honestly, it really makes me terribly uncomfortable. Usually, if there is a donation event that I'm a part of, Hubby and I will just donate ourselves and not really ask others to help.

But as I watched my friend say goodbye to her brother this week, as my Aunt is currently fighting her own battle with cancer, and I personally know "Collin Cureageous", I felt in my heart to put this out there to to the world. If you find it in your heart to donate on behalf of my son's preschool to the Four Diamonds Fund (conquering childhood cancer) please go to this link.

Here is a little info about the Four Diamonds Fund


CANCER IS THE #1 CAUSE OF DEATH BY DISEASE FOR CHILDREN IN THE UNITED STATES.

The Four Diamonds' mission is to conquer childhood cancer by assisting children treated at Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital and their families through superior care, comprehensive support, and innovative research. We believe in a holistic approach to childhood cancer treatment. We not only treat the disease, we care for the child's well-being, their family, and cover all expenses for the care and treatment of the child not paid for by insurance or other means. (Source)

I know that every cent helps. Thank you.

Running My Life

Wow, has it really been 2 years since my last post? I suppose that I allowed life to get in the way. For any faithful blog readers, I apologize. Although, I'm not sure how many people actually read blogs anymore. I think most people use other social media platforms.  (By the way, drop by and say hi on Insta. )  But for some reason, each year when I pay for my google domain, I can't seem to let it go. As silly as it sounds, this little space is mine. And lately I've been struggling with ownership and acceptance. And my domain renewal was a not so gentle reminder that I have a voice .  Seriously, you'd think by 48 that I'd have this figured out - nope - apparently not. However, I am wise enough to know that we have a choice to allow situations to harms us or make us stronger. I'm choosing to let this mid-life quandary make me stronger. And because of this, I'm setting goals, taking charge, and reexamining priorities.  Movin' on... 

Self Care Is Not Selfish It's Necessary

It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. And I'll say it just one more time in case you didn't hear me. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. I have found through experience that when I'm not taking care of myself, not only do I suffer but my family suffers. So ditch the mom guilt and take the time that you need! I have a tendency to keep pushing my needs aside until I reach a breaking point. We've had a very busy fun summer so far. However, I've struggled to get some quality ' me ' time to decompress. I'll spare you the meltdown that ensued. But the reality check that followed prompted me to take action.

When The Planner In You Must Be Flexible

In case you haven’t figured this out by now, I’m a planner. I know - shocker right?!? :) So although I love substitute teaching, it’s making the planner in me anxious. And it’s been reeking havoc on my workouts. Basically the morning of or maybe the night before, I find out if I’m working. So my day ( that I thought I had planned ) can be turned upside down in an instant. But, truthfully, isn’t that really the same with everyone?
