Happy New Years! Who’s ready for some new year resolutions and goal setting? If you’re anything like us, you’ve already got your vision boards mapped out and ready to take on 2019.
We’ve had some big wins and terrible losses. Here is our year-end review of life’s challenges, experiences, successes, trials and triumphs of 2018.
Happy anniversary to us! We actually just celebrated our wedding anniversary this past week. On December 17th, 2016, we said “I do” to forever adventures and coffee dates. But what made our Johnston wedding unique? We added a special, old Irish tradition to our wedding vows!
Ahh, the beloved Starbucks. Just as the pumpkin spice frenzy starts to fade out, Starbucks rolls out their Holiday menu. But their coffee menu isn’t the only thing that changes. Year after year, Starbucks continues to launch their new Holiday designs. However, the highly anticipated Holiday cups seem to stir up a lot of controversies. Starbucks (still) doesn’t have a Jesus coffee cup.
Dealing with the loss of a loved one is never easy, especially during the holidays. People always say that Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. But for some, the holidays can be a time of loneliness, isolation, and depression due to loss and tragedy. For some, Christmas is the hardest time of the year.
Ahh, consumerism. Black Friday may have passed, but the shopping season has only just begun! Department stores everywhere are extending their hours with their competitive prices and an influx of Holiday goodies. But how much of this stuff do we actually need? This week, we are talking about how consumerism can effect your mental health.
Did you know that being aware teaches us to live in the moment.
Think about it. You are literally existing right in this very moment. Like, are you fully aware of your surroundings?
No, seriously. Think about it. You exist right now.
All too often we see political parties using religion as a means to get more votes. We also see Christian leaders using the pulpit to exercise their political opinions. But, who would Jesus vote for?
Whew, anyone else feel like this year is FLYING by? I mean, how is it already November? I feel like this year just started. That’s okay, though, because honestly, October 1st through January 1st is pretty much the best time of the year, right?
Last week, we talked about Halloween and all of the fun things we did. But before we start celebrating all of the Christmas festivities, we want to make sure we stay in a spirit of being thankful. All of the hustle and bustle for getting last minute gifts can seem pretty stressful and daunting. Often times, I think we forget what we’re truly grateful for. They say it takes about 30 days to create a habit. So why not start off the Christmas season by showing our gratitude for the things we often take advantage of? That’s why this year, we are challenging ourselves to find things we are thankful for every day this month.
