How BookTok Helped Me Fall In Love With Reading!
I rediscovered reading last year. How do you ask? One word…BookTok. Yes, it’s a whole section of TikTok where people talk about the books they love. I also love Bookagram. That’s on Instagram.

Getting Ready For My 6 Week Life Reset Trip!
I’m getting so excited to go back to Laguna Beach next week! This trip is a huge part of my 6 week reset. If you read my previous post about that trip you’ll see why I decided this has to be a yearly Mother/Daughter trip. I’ve been buying some new clothes to wear and things to take. I’ve lost weight since last year at this time so that’s fun. I live close to the mountains and love to enjoy nature up in the canyons. However, the beach is my happy place. I don’t swim in the ocean which is funny since I love the beach so much. I’m too afraid of sharks haha. Swimming in that huge ocean and not knowing what’s below is so scary to me. I love just putting my feet in. Oh I have been brave at times and gotten in. I just don’t love it. What is it about sitting in the sun while the waves roll in and out with a good book? The sound of the waves and the smell of the sea. It’s just the most peaceful place. I’ve been thinking about what books to read and what to write while I’m there.
This Is How My 6 Week Life Reset Is Going!
There’s peace in doing nothing. Ever since I quit my job and started my 6 week life reset I have been feeling excited and peaceful. Excited for the time to plan and rest. I’m loving weeks of nothing exactly to do. I have some goals I’m excited to work on, but I don’t feel pressure. I feel a peace that I have a new job starting in a few months, which helps to not worry about money. I’ve proven to myself that I can make good money. More money than I even believed I could. My dream would be to make that kind of money doing something I love. That’s what I’m working on. At 62 I now realize time is short in this life, if I get to live another 25 years. It will go fast. I want to live this third chapter of my life out loud. I want to learn, write, read and travel. I want to be present for my family. There are so many things I want to do. Writing is one of the things I want to get better at. My goal is to write everyday. I’m sure it won’t be great, hopefully I’ll get
You Have The Right To Be Just As You Are!
You have the right to be just as you are! When I started my own yoga practice, I became keenly aware of a few things. First, the teacher would say, “take up your space” Gosh, I did not really know what that meant. I had never thought that way. The idea that I had the right to take up my space. That I had the “right” to be here. To show up every day as me. To learn to get comfortable inside my own skin. The journey I went on and am now still on is amazing to me. The trauma I’ve experienced can’t be healed unless it’s worked on actively. I thought going on with my life and putting the past out of my mind would work. It doesn’t. I want to take control of my life, my body, my mind. I’m tired of living like this. I know this will be the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I’ve tried to eat right and exercise, but I always quit. I think it’s because it takes all I have to live with the pain of what’s happened in my life. I do whatever I need to to comfort myself.
We Are Powerful In Our Midlife!
Why was powerlessness my comfort zone? I didn’t feel comfortable when I was in my power. Maybe, because powerlessness has always been there. Since I was a little girl I felt powerless. A feeling of powerlessness has always been present. Fear is what I know. I’ve always known. It has taken over my life. Fear of everything pretty much. I was always bracing, running, comforting myself with food, TV, and friends. Focusing on others and their lives. Trying to control my environment. Then, almost 10 years ago I felt the most vulnerable I had ever felt. The surge inside of me to take control of my own life came as my whole reality came crashing down. The day I realized I was wrong about so much. So much avoiding me. Why have I always felt so disconnected from myself and my body? There was a complete disconnect. I decided to start asking myself this question. What do I think? How do I feel in my body?What am I thinking? I wanted to feel peaceful and confident in myself. I wanted to feel powerful. I’ll be writing about my journey to find my own power.
