Friday Musings #6


Happy Friday and happy Valentine's Day!

I had this whole Valentine's post planned for Wednesday and then... the week got away from me and I ended up not finishing it. :( I was pretty excited about it though, so I think I'll finish writing it over the weekend and post it next week.

This week has been a bit of a rough one. My anxiety's felt a little out of control lately and this week has just felt like one thing after another. It's been tough, but I am glad I still had the energy to get my classwork done for the week. I even got some editing done on Cursed and Golden Touch too.

I started Chosen by Kirsten White this week! I'm only on like chapter two, but I'm loving it so far! I love the protagonist, Nina. Most other slayers are tough and strong, independent female protagonists. And if they aren't before they become a slayer, they become one pretty quickly. They give into their slayer instincts. I love that Nina started out a healer, a girl who doesn't mind being the backup, the person in the background. I love even more that she decides to fight her slayer instincts and stay her compassionate, kind and healing self. It's interesting to watch her inner struggle between who she wants to be and who her slayer instincts want her to be.

This week I also got a par of new boots! That was probably the highlight of my week so far haha! I found these super cute boots on sale at Shoe Carnival. They are my new favorite shoes that I own haha!

It got super cold where I'm at. Wednesday night it snowed and snowed and snowed! It wasn't great snow though... it's kind of wet and a little slushy. Or at least it was. Last night the temperature dropped to like 1 degrees so everything outside froze. The high of today is supposed to be like 5 degrees.

Also! For Valentine's week, Wayward is on sale! You can get it today for 1.99!

I finished my first prayer journal of 2020 this week too! That one lasted from December 26, 2019 till this week, which is pretty quick. I've been using it a lot lately though, so it filled up pretty quickly.

Yesterday I went to the dentist and that was no fun. Turns out I've got a lot going on with my teeth haha

And today is Valentine's Day! I'm babysitting again today so I'm going to bring over some fun craft stuff and we're going to make Valentine cards so that'l be fun!

Tomorrow is one of my little brothers' birthdays. He's turning thirteen! šŸ˜± I can't believe it! They grow up so fast haha

Oh! And how could I forget? To All the Boys I loved Before: P.S. I Still Love You (dang that's a long title haha) came out on Wednesday!! šŸ˜ No spoilers, but it was fantastic. Literally the first movie and now this one too are some of the best teen romance movies I've ever seen. It lived up to every expectation and did the first one justice in every way. If you're looking for an adorable, romantic and sweet movie to watch for your Valentine's Day, I highly recommend To All the Boys and To All the Boys #2!

So, yeah... that was more or less my week. There's been lots of downs and not a lot of ups this week, but I'm feeling pretty good today and I'm just trying to keep a positive attitude about next week.

I hope you have a great Valentine's Day! (Also, if you're looking for some encouraging words on this Valentine's Day Hannah Brencher wrote some beautiful words this week. I love everything she writes and this post was so good and so unique from all the other posts for single people that inevitably comes out on the week of Valentine's.)

How has your week been? Are you doing anything for Valentine's Day today?

    Ooh, I love boots as well! I've got a couple of pairs that I just adore, and it's always so exciting when it's cold enough to wear them, lol

    I've seen Chosen around, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I have read some others by Kiersten White though, and all of them were great, so I'm sure I'll read that one eventually.

      Boots are the best!

      I love all of Kiersten White's books. I haven't read them all yet, but I started reading her new Slayer series because I'm a fan of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer show. :)

March-May Wrap Up!

 Happy Tuesday!  So I had a March/April blog post all written out and forgot to post it! So here's a March-May recap! How has the last three months gone for you? March ended up being a really good month. I turned 25 and had a really great birthday I got to hang out with friends, watch some new shows and am almost done with the Throne of Glass series. April and May have also been really good months for me. God's blessed me in so many amazing ways over the past three months.  I feel bad that this blog has fallen so to the wayside for me. I used to post every week and be so excited and now I just really struggle to keep this updated. I'm starting to think it might be time to let this blog post unless I somehow get renewed motivation/inspiration for it.  March-May Writing:  March was a very good writing month. I just reached 65K in Immortal Circus #3, and despite a few small hiccups, it's been flowing really well. I'm enjoying getting to draft a book after spending ...

Turning 25!

 Happy Thursday!  At the end of February I was looking back at my wrap ups on my Instagram and on here and it almost made me start crying because of how far I've come. It made me stop and think about where I started my 20's versus where I am now. So much as changed and so much of it for the better. Just looking back at the pictures and wrap ups I've done over the past year, I feel like I'm thriving. I'm at a place I honestly didn't think I'd ever get to and maybe that was just me being dramatic or living in on and off depression for so many years, but it makes me tear up and so thankful to see how far I've come since 20.  At 20 I had a best friend I thought I would still be best friends with when I turned 25. I had him and two other friends at 20 and that was it. I don't even remember what church we were at five years ago, but it wasn't the church we're at now and I know I definitely was not thriving there. I felt so behind everyone else my a...

A Goodbye to The Archive Series

Happy Friday!  The final book of The Archive Series comes out next Tuesday. This has been almost three years in the making and I don't know what to say to properly say goodbye.  I started this series in December 2019 with Golden Touch. The idea had been sparked by me watching The Road to El Dorado and having a desire to write a treasure hunt story for most of December. Little did I know that the story of a girl finding a boy with a Midas touch up in the mountains to help her family with their money issues would turn into a five book series and be a huge part of my life for the next few years. I also had no idea that that series would get me through one of the hardest years - 2020. Honestly, God knew what 2020 would be like and He knew I was going to need a story and characters that would make me happy, give me joy and focus on during that very hard year. And for me, that was Amaya and Darren and this whole series.  I poured a lot of myself and my story into Amaya and Darr...
