What I Need to Remember When Life Gets Tough …

 ✨ What I Need to Remember When Life Gets Tough✨… Life feels overwhelming for me lately especially today and the weight of the world is pressing down on me. I need to stop, reflect and remind myself of all that I have in my life — all that truly matters. I am a spouse to an AMAZING man, a partner who stands by me, lifts me up, and reminds me of love’s strength even in the hardest moments. Ivan has been the biggest blessing of my life and has brought out the best in me ever since the first day we met. I can get through any obstacles or struggles that come my way as long as I have Ivan by my side. I love this man more and more each day, I am truly thankful to him to have by my side to go through this crazy life with.  I am a mother to two beautiful girls, who bring light, laughter, and meaning into every single day. Watching them grow is one of my greatest blessings. With all the stressful days full of chaos and overload I still find being a mother the greatest gift that has...

Review: The Coworker

The Coworker The Coworker by Freida McFadden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5)

The Coworker is now, without a doubt, MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE book by Freida McFadden!! I’ve read several of her thrillers, but this one BLEW ME away with its clever twists, unexpected turns, and a storyline that kept me guessing until the very last page.

From the very beginning, McFadden sets the tone with a slow burn of thoughts that gradually evolves into a full-blown psychological roller coaster. The plot centers around two coworkers—one mysterious, one seemingly “normal”—and a disappearance that flips their workplace upside down. What seems simple at first quickly becomes a layered mystery filled with secrets, lies, and deeply unsettling discoveries.

What I loved most was how brilliantly misleading the entire story is. Every time I thought I had figured it out—boom—another twist. I kept thinking, “Okay, now I know what’s going on,” only to be completely wrong again and again. McFadden plays with the reader’s assumptions in the best possible way, dropping just enough breadcrumbs to keep you hooked, but never enough to truly solve the puzzle ahead of time.
The pacing was spot-on, the character dynamics were complex and chilling, and the final reveal? Utterly jaw-dropping!!

If you’re a fan of psychological thrillers that keep you second-guessing everything you read, The Coworker is an ABSOLUTE MUST!!

Personal Growth and Development

✨Personal Growth and Development✨   The Power of Small Steps:  How Consistent Effort Leads to Big Changes The topic of this post is about personal growth and development. I often struggle with this myself. I have found that small baby steps and consistency is the key to change.    What is personal growth often thought as?  Personal growth is often thought of as a massive transformation—something that happens overnight after a breakthrough moment or an intense period of introspection.  However, the truth is that true and lasting personal development happens through consistent, small actions over time. The Myth of Instant Change We’ve all seen those dramatic before-and-after stories. Maybe it’s a fitness journey, a career turnaround, or someone who’s transformed their mindset in a seemingly instant way.  These stories are powerful and inspiring, but they can also create a false expectation that personal growth needs to happen in a flash. The reality is f...

A Letter to You, My Uncle Ben

  Dear Uncle Ben, How are you doing? How's the food in heaven? Have you made any friends? These are all kinds of questions I have stuck in my mind lately. I am still trying to grasp the concept of grief. I still can’t wrap around my head and accept that you are no longer here with us. I feel like my whole world has been shattered into a million pieces. It kills me inside knowing you will never walk through that door at a family gathering or that you will never be at holidays. You were a huge part of our family and still are. I hope up in heaven you have gotten to see and know my kids. Everyday that passes it shatters me emotionally that you never got to meet my girls. I wanted them to have the Uncle Ben that I had growing up. Seeing my Uncle Ben was always the highlight of gatherings. You made things so magical and fun for me growing up. You have made a HUGE impact on my world and you probably don’t even realize it. To this day, I remember perfectly you tricking me thinking Grand...
