The Abundance Game
This is a game I recently learned about in which the point is to train your mind to be accustomed to having and spending big money. The more comfortable you are with money the less resistant you will be to it. Money is currency. Currency is electric. It’s moving. It’s action. Money moves. It comes…

Law of Positive Assumption
What I hear from the self-help gurus online is if you’re going to assume something assume the best. Funnily enough, my Grandpa Fish used to say the same thing. (According to my aunt, whom I trust. Though idk if I ever heard him say this myself.) If you’re going to assume and use energy might…

Kind vs Nice
In my day to day life I come into contact with people who are kind and people who are nice. Some people are both. But these words are NOT synonyms (in my opinion).

Jr High Survival Guide
Subbing has been hard these days. Partly because this year’s sixth grade class is feral, and partly because it requires meal prep. This year, the things that have most helped me keep my sanity during these long jr high days are the following… Today is pretty quiet/hands off. I am thankful. In two hours I…

The 55th Psalm
I once heard a sermon comparing Bible characters to the enneagram. The preacher said that Saul as an enneagram four and was very into feeling things. I think David must have also been an enneagram four because his words ring true today, hundreds of years later. Psalm 55 sticks out to me for four different…

The Best of Times
One of my favorite things in this world is going places with my mom. I love to go thrifting with her, I love to run errands with her, I love to watch her annihilate a yard sale (while I awkwardly linger behind because I feel weird knowing people are watching me judge their junk). This…

Weird Terms I Unfortunately Learned Today…
The saddest thing about aging is the weird words that the new generation comes up with. Today I had sixth graders telling me things that I wish I could un-hear. I’m sure each generation feels this way. But holy cow. My brain hurts.
