About me

I live in California on the central coast.  I am a mother of two.  My goal was to become a life-coach and at the same time, transform my own life in the process.  Recently, I made a career change and got my Masters in Social Work.  I am currently living with my two children and starting this next chapter.  I enjoy writing, and especially enjoy writing about experiences, challenges and what I've learned along the way.

Red Flags

Image
It's been on my mind lately to talk about red flags.  We all know about them, we've all heard of them, but do we really know what they are?  Some of us, without a doubt, can see one, and know for certain they've hit a red flag.  And for some, it's a dead stop in a relationship or situation.  While others, will recognize it as a red flag, but proceed forward anyway.  Still others, will not even know they've come across a red flag.  Now, red flags can be deceiving, and what one might think is, another would not.  I thought it would be helpful to call some out here, and some what I'll call "pink" flags which means not necessarily a "terrible" sign, but something to be cautious about. Red Flags: Does not ever see any person from their family Does not pay child support for their kids Pushes, hits, kicks or in any way physically abuses you Goes for several days without contacting you back, without reason You catch him/her in a flat out lie ...

10 Things for Single Moms to Do While Sheltering in Place

Find time for yourself For any mom, it can be quite difficult to find time to spend alone. However, if you have the ability to do that, I highly recommend it. For me that looks like waking up at 5 am. I know that schedule doesn't work for everyone (I do also go to bed early). However, I cherish this time. I have time to drink my herbal tea, read my Bible, journal, work on my business..It is a life-changing time. It can be easier as the kids get older. When they are so small, babies especially, you might feel like you're doing everything you can just to keep them fed and clean. I get that. And if that's you, please know that the best thing you can do for yourself, is to be kind. Know that this is a highly demanding time in your life, and it will get easier. However if and when you can, take the time to be by yourself, it is so helpful, and so worth it. Spend quality time with your kids I know this sounds so obvious. Most of us are with our kids ...

5 Things to Figure Out if You Are Single

Image
I read a book awhile back, called The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy. It's a great book and I highly recommend it. One of my takeaways from that book was something he said about relationships. He mentioned there was a time in his life where he was single, and he really wanted to find the right person. He knew what he wanted, but he didn't know EXACTLY what he wanted. So he decided to write it all down. He decided to write everything down about her down to how exactly she would look. Then he asked himself something along the lines of “Now who do I have to become to attract this kind of woman?” The reason I bring up this part of his book, is that a lot of times people date to find “the perfect mate,” but they don't even know what that really is for them. They have some idea, but when they come face to face with someone they want to date, it then gets tricky. They may allow things they may not have thought they'd ever allow because there is this sort of...
