Ah, Autumn breezes, falling leaves, cooler days and crisp nights … what a BEAUTIFUL time to think about transformation, amirite?! Even though the calendar just now shows the change of season, it’s been on my mind for a while. The smell of all things apple and pumpkin is like a magical spell for my soul. …

How to Make a Sunshine Sammich Between the Clouds
Friends, it’s been quite a week. I’ve ran the gamut of emotions, and unfortunately, some lingered like mosquitos, and sucked the life out of me. I was chastised by a neighbor for letting my kiddos have a wild dance party while playing with the dog (#SorryNotSorry), had some pretty charged conversations, and felt hugely disappointed …
Sassy Radish-y
Now that I’ve got your attention, let me quickie share about …. The humble radish. Who EVER thinks about radishes?! I mean besides me, because OBVIOUSLY they’ve been on my brain. I passed by radishes the other day at the grocery; they were so bright and cheery looking, they called my name rather loudly, so …
It’s Raining, It’s Pouring…
My ENO hammock was one of our first quarantine splurges (and probably the best, apart from my bike, a Trek Marlin 6, which I would hands down recommend to any and every one), as I KNEW I needed something for my sanity, with the kids being home non-stop. I wanted something that could help me …
Don’t Cry Over Spilled Glitter

I have been mostly fortunate, but my carefree no-glitter time came to an abrupt end the other night. I was cleaning up after dinner, tired (because, real talk, the days …

I know what you’re thinking already, why is this crazy girl posting pictures of dead leaves in JULY?! Well, to me, these fallen summer leaves speak of a release of burdens, if you will, rather than full on autumn prep of alllllll the leaves coming down. The trees aren’t anywhere near ready to let go, …
Ready, Set, Put IT Out There!
What’s the one thing you put off, day after day, even though it’s something you REALLY want? Yeah, that thing …… You should do it. Wait, that’s me, giving me a pep talk. See earlier this week, I FINALLY published the Facebook page to go along with Positively Lit blog. But I’ve dragged my ever …
Back to the Reality of a “New Normal”
My silver lining on this rainy, dreary day is word on the street, (well, word from our zoom meeting, but “word on the street” sounds better) is that I can return to work next week. !!!!!!!!!!!! Before quarantine, my job away from the craziness of kids was at our local YMCA in the membership department. …
Want to Know More About Me?
Hi! It’s Racheal, your friendly, quirky, and positivity loving blogger. I’ll share a little more about me, but will make it short enough to skim as you peruse your morning social media feed(s). I avoid conflict at all costs, maybe not always healthy, but hey, I’m an enneagram 9. Wait, you haven’t jumped on the …
