Thankfulish

At church this past weekend, the pastor spoke about being grateful. He spoke about “thanksgiving” and the Bible verse from Psalm 100:4. Basically, the lesson is to be grateful and you’ll be closer to God and feel happier in your life in general. Since Thanksgiving is tomorrow, I thought it would be fun to createContinue reading “Thankfulish”

His Plans

How did a church sermon inspire a blog about being ghosted and relationships in general? I just plugged in my Ipod and Kelly Clarkson’s song What Doesn’t Kill You (Stronger) came on and now I’m even more ready to explain so many things. Scoffing is the general reaction to people saying things like “God spokeContinue reading “His Plans”

Bucket List #18 and #35

If you haven’t read my bucket list blog, please head here: https://authorarielpierce.com/2023/01/03/a-30-year-olds-bucket-list/  I considered writing an individual blog for each item but decided against it. I thoroughly thought through a well-constructed blog about how owning a robot vacuum changed my life. It did for about a week and then it became, like many thingsContinue reading “Bucket List #18 and #35 “

Best Mom in the World

I told my mother a lot as a child “You’re the best mom in the entire world.” Her response would often be, “I’m your only mom.” While that may be true, she said it because she didn’t believe MY statement to be true. So, I would say, “well, I don’t know if you’re the bestContinue reading “Best Mom in the World”

Bucket List # 39

I shared my bucket list with a few of my coworkers and they started throwing out suggestions on how to accomplish some of the items. Most of the items on my list require a large amount of planning. Item 39 did not take much planning! As a reminder, if you haven’t read my blog “AContinue reading “Bucket List # 39”

AABC – 2022 Year-End Summary

2022 marked year two of the book club I started on a whim in 2021. I hoped to read 12 books but the last half of the year is actively being blocked by my defense mechanisms due to it being ROUGH. So, in total, The Adventure Awaits Book Club (AABC) read 10 books, although weContinue reading “AABC – 2022 Year-End Summary”

A 30-Year-Old’s Bucket List

The only memory I have of my bucket list involved me anxiously hoping my high school crush didn’t consider me a total loser. There were only two classes in high school I recall his significant presence and most other encounters were outside of class. In one class, we had to present a PowerPoint presentation including aContinue reading “A 30-Year-Old’s Bucket List”

Replace the Pan

2022 doesn’t bring any horrific memories to mind. I celebrated my son’s fourth birthday with his TT. I celebrated my 30th birthday with my mom and her best friend. I continued my book club I created in 2021. I traveled to another state for the first time on my own to celebrate my cousin’sContinue reading “Replace the Pan”

Stop Telling People Life Will Get Better

I’ve never seen life get better. I’ve seen people experience more physical pain as they age. I’ve seen people desperate to leave their abusive relationships but don’t know how. I’ve seen people lose their spouse they spent most of their life with. I’ve seen elderly people sitting with no purpose and slowly fading from this world becauseContinue reading “Stop Telling People Life Will Get Better”

Precious Monster

My first parenting thought was, “They’re legit going to let me leave the hospital with this baby?” Since then, I’ve thought “this kid is the coolest,” “if I could give this kid back, I would,” “my child is a beautiful ray of sunshine,” and “this child is a monster.” Here are a few statementsContinue reading “Precious Monster”
