Women Have Superpowers, This I Know

Once upon a time… there was a very smart man that made the best realization for mankind.  He discovered women had superpowers.  And he knew the man could not compete.  So he did what he had to do in order to get on top.  He convinced the entire population, women’s superpowers were instead: weaknesses.

A Warning About “No Filter” Instagram Posts

I was going to sneak this into a short Instagram caption but then decided it ALL needs to live here.  It’s been weighing on me.  And, in light of trying to stay off social media, this seemed like the right place to share.

Life Stories: SXSW, Planting a Vineyard and More…

I haven’t written my little life stories in awhile & they’re my favorite – the entire reason I started MissBassmater.  I’m trying to creep away from capturing all my life details on Instagram Stories, so I thought it would be fun to catch up here!

What Makes You Happy?

It’s still the beginning of the year, a lot of people are either setting their goals or reviewing them.  I asked someone this question recently after talking for awhile: What makes you happy?

You should be able to answer that.

It’s My Birthday, I Want To Cry Now

OMG it’s my birthday & I would love a solid cry.  Not because I’m getting older.  Because last year…sucked.  I want to cry it away, cry it’s frustrations out, just cry.  But after that, smile.  Aggressive mood swing.  But it’s over.

Happy 2019! We made it.

YAY! It’s officially 2019.  It’s here, we made it!  And another year bites the dust.  Is anyone ready to get back to their regularly scheduled program with work & food?  All the sugar & extra meals can get annoying.  I made a Pecan Pie & literally cut it in half for Wafiq & I to split.  Excuse me while I vomit.

Top 5 Favorite Stories of 2018 on MissBassmaster

My favorite part of the Missbassmaster online space is storytelling… That’s one of the reasons I started in the first place.  I’ve always loved writing.  Because there’s not a ton of drama in my life, being able to get dramatic with an otherwise average day feels adventurous.

Thoughtful Act Challenge: Social Media

To me, being thoughtful means slowing down & thinking about whatever situation you’re in.   I don’t typically say be positive or be kind because I don’t necessarily think that’s always the best advice.  I actually wish that wasn’t the advice I heard when I was younger.  I’ve learned there are specific scenarios where we shouldn’t be kind, that’s my opinion.  Especially as women, there are times I wish someone told me to be bossy, stand up for myself, don’t be pushed over or passive.  Of course those instances are rare but they do happen – therefore I encourage being thoughtful, which coincidentally often means being kind.

Today I’m following up on SOCIAL MEDIA.

Thoughtful Act Challenge: Driving!

I’m all about perspective & being thoughtful today!  If there’s anything I’ve learned over the past 10 years it’s that all of us humans have our own issues going on.  As much as someone might want to appear perfect, we’re not.  That includes the person next to you, promise.  GO ahead, look at the person next to you, smile, and know, they have issues too.  Remembering no one is perfect is the trick.  I gots a yummy idea for you today – GET READY!

My 1st Panic Attack & An Intro To My Anxiety

We all get nervous & feelings of being anxious.  And a lot of us have gotten excellent at pushing through nerves & coming out the other end feeling proud + accomplished.  But then there’s this little devil that’s a step above nerves, anxiety.  I’ve wanted to write about my anxiety for a year now but every time I sit down to do it, I back out.

I had my 1st panic attack almost 2 years ago & have had anxiety issues since then.  I’ve always known nerves, but never panic.  And never severe anxiety.  Anxiety that I felt like I couldn’t control on my own.

There was a lot happening at the time of my first panic attack that likely led to it, but in all honestly my anxiety has been somewhat random since then.  There are certain scenarios I think will trigger anxiety, and other scenarios I feel like I’ll be comfortable in – then, the exact opposite happens.

It’s Okay To Say No Thank You To Food & Alcohol

FOOD & ALCOHOL!  This is a topic that I’m becoming more familiar with than I ever wanted to be.  I always knew food & alcohol had a special place in everyone’s lives but had no idea the true significance.

Every time you turn on the TV I can promise you’ll see either FOOD or ALCOHOL or someone talking about one of those two things.  You don’t realize it until you don’t do it anymore.
