Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself.
Back in June I wrote Post #6 about my eleven goals for 2025. I am going to post tomorrow about my 2026 goals, but today I wanted to reflect on the progress made in 2025. As I mentioned in Post #6, each year, I buy a set of PowerSheets from Cultivate What Matters. The first… Continue reading #18 My 2025 Goals in Review
While I was visiting my best friend in New Jersey, I found out that we are having a little girl! My best friend and I celebrated together, and she had a special gift to give me. It's a rosary from Chews Life, and I love it! There's a story behind how she chose this one (back… Continue reading #17 – We’re Having a Girl
I had originally scheduled my ultrasound for Thursday, September 25th. However, I was starting to feel anxious. I called my OB's nurse, and she was not helpful. I decided to call Dr. Plessala's office, and they were amazing. They told me they could get me in the next day for an ultrasound no problem. Sean… Continue reading #16 Pregnancy Update – September 20th
When I wrote my July 1st post about our family's decision to adopt embryos, it felt like such a long time until our scheduled transfer. Now that our transfer has come and gone, I am trying to apply this lesson of how quickly time passes to our current waiting situation. We had three healthy embryos… Continue reading #15 – Embryo Adoption Update – September 15th
I have already mentioned that I love the company Cultivate What Matters. I have used their goal planning system called PowerSheets since 2021. Each month, I look forward to reading their email called "The Little-by-Little Letter." This email is structured off of theirs! Important To-Do's: I have to have two ultrasounds and some lab work… Continue reading #14 Month in Review – July
This month was hard due to my medicine adjustments as we prepare for pregnancy. I have noticed that when I have more down days, I read more fiction, and that was true of this month! I had a goal to finish two books that I had started and left unfinished, and I did that! I… Continue reading #13 What I Read this Month – July 2025
My medicine protocol for our embyro adoption started on June 22nd. (If you missed my post about our choice to adopt embryos, you can read it here.) The first step has been to start taking Kelnor which is a oral contraceptive. I was very dubious about taking it, not because of any ethical dilemma. I… Continue reading #12 When Your Pants Don’t Fit
I get very overwhelmed very easily. I'm sure one reason for this is my Bipolar Disorder (read more in Post #7). Another reason is that I struggle with people pleasing. All of that being said, one thing that helps with the overwhelm is that I try to live by the principle “Decide What Matters Most.”… Continue reading #11 Decide What Matters Most
I am a huge fan of Kendra Adachi, aka the Lazy Genius. She is funny and down-to-earth. Her tagline is “Be a genius about the things that matter and lazy about the things that don’t.” This is basically another way of saying decide what matters and what does not, so when I first heard her… Continue reading #10 The Lazy Genius Way
I wrote about my 2025 goals in Post #6. fMy irst goal for this year was a spiritual growth goal: continue my morning prayer ritual. This ritual currently consists of four steps, but it started back in January 2025 when I started the Ascension Press's Podcast "Bible in a Year" with Father Mike Schmitz. I… Continue reading #9 My Morning Prayer Routine
