April 16, 2019 By Emily Smith Leave a Comment

Weak Things Become Strong

February 19, 2018 By Emily Smith Leave a Comment

January 2, 2018 By Emily Smith 2 Comments

A new year is a time for resolutions. I’ll be honest, I haven’t made one in years because I know I won’t manage to do it perfectly and I really don’t need one more thing in my life to feel like a failure about. Yep, that’s right, I often feel like a failure. You may…

Self-Care is NOT Selfish!

July 8, 2017 By Emily Smith 1 Comment

July 3, 2017 By Emily Smith 1 Comment

A few years ago I watched Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland” and absolutely loved it. As I watched, however, it took a lot to fight back the tears.
