Let me begin...

I have a of childhood and human development. Honestly, don’t we all have some form of background on this? I am still learning daily how people work, myself included. It has been hard and I am starting again at a place of humility and hopefully grace. I am earnestly wanting a place I can write, cry, and laugh. I want to share what I learn and the exciting things I am working on in my life on this site! It is my hope you find something you can take away from my words and from my ideas. So stay awhile and let me know what you think! 


Love, Hallie

The Things We Don’t Say Out Loud

Image
  So let’s be honest with ourselves for just a moment- I mean really honest. The kind of honest that makes your chest tighten a little, because it hits close to home. There are things in our lives we may never talk about. Things we’ve experienced, things we’ve seen or heard, things we’ve lost, or even things we’ve found,  that no one will ever hear about from us. These are the things we don’t say out loud. Sometimes it’s a feeling we can’t name. Sometimes it’s shame, or joy, or anger, or confusion. Sometimes it’s the quiet truth we can’t bring ourselves to admit: “You hurt me.” “I’m lonely.” “I’m embarrassed.” “Something bad happened to me, and I don’t know how to handle it.” Even when we dance around those feelings, sometimes we can’t bring ourselves to say them out loud. We all have them. We hold onto them tightly,  in  our hearts, our souls, our minds, and even our bodies. Maybe it’s self-protection. Maybe it’s survival. Admitting the darker parts of b...

How to Naturally Get Better Sleep: Simple Habits That Make a Big Difference

    I was talking with a coworker about how we have been having sleepless nights lately. I felt like I wanted to talk about sleep and ways we can prosper from getting our cycle back on track! So I’ve made a list to go over on how to achieve this.  A good night’s sleep is one of the most powerful, natural ways to improve your overall well-being. Yet so many of us struggle with busy minds, restless bodies, or inconsistent routines. Better sleep doesn’t always mean supplements or medication, small lifestyle shifts create the biggest impact. Here are natural ways to help your body relax, reset, and drift into deeper, more restorative rest. 1. Create a Consistent Sleep Schedule Your body’s internal clock thrives on rhythm. Try going to bed and waking up at the same time every day, even on weekends. This helps regulate your hormones, improves your energy, and makes falling asleep easier over time.  2. Build a Relaxing Night time Routine Signal to your mind that it’s time t...

She’s so totally back

Image
So where have I been?  Once again, I find myself explaining what’s been going and why I have been absent from you all.  Firstly, I want to say I was out experiencing motherhood. I was deep in my own world with  my babies. I was dealing with keeping my mind on its own axis. I have moved twice, and experienced a whole lot of change. Some I saw coming and some, due to my own failings, I did not see until it hit me like a freight train.  So, I’m out here again, returning to my roots of writing and trying to get back some things I’ve lost. I’m not out here lamenting my life or my hardships, but I sure would like to be!! WHO does that actually help, though?   I want to find my groove and my voice again. The things I’ve been learning and experiencing have been somewhat shocking, if not, just a huge gut check. So obviously, I’m back on my “it is what it is” shtick because legitimately I sometimes cannot think of another, “lets move it on”, phase to save my life. As...
