Since second grade, little Skye dreamed of being a teacher. I ended up working in a very different field though. A while back, I had the opportunity to live my dream and interview for a teaching position in a small school, and it sounded like the coolest opportunity because I didn’t need a teaching degree. […]
Was I hearing this right?! She has a problem with me and thinks I was rude to her? There’s got to be a mistake because I couldn’t possibly think of what I did that upset her this way- I literally had no clue. I felt some type of way about this situation in my life, […]
Recently, I made myself literally sick with stress because I lost my debit card and since I’m pretty organized and every possession of mine has a designated spot, I was stressing like crazy that my debit card was gone forever. I was stressed it would fall into the wrong hands and stressed that I’d have […]
I had suffered the biggest blow. I was always super close to my grandparents, who I called, “Honey and Poppy.” Their health had been declining, but I was blindsided when Poppy passed in the hospital and even more stunned when Honey passed in her bed at home, exactly three months later.

She barely made it to her bed before she collapsed into a pile of exhaustion, didn’t even take off her makeup, and fell fast asleep, just to wake up at 6:15 AM the next morning and do it all over again. He put his head down at his home office desk to rest his eyes […]
Do you struggle setting and achieving goals, or making progress toward your goals? Does it feel like you want to work toward something, and you’re all gung ho in the beginning, then you fizzle out without really even noticing. New Year’s resolutions, anyone? Of all people, I know that feeling all too well. But… I’ve […]
Think back to a time where you had a thousand things on your plate, all happening together, converging in on you. A time when you thought you were prioritizing what needed to be prioritized. It might have gone a little something like this: You’ve agreed to help your neighbor move her couch, you said you’d […]
Have you ever wondered how some people seem to just ooze confidence?! And you’re over here just tryna get by? Yeah, me too! I once went through a phase where I wore heavy, black eyeliner and straightened my already-poker-straight hair EVERY DAY just to feel more confident. I know, I know, cringe-worthy middle school […]
