It's a Saturday in the south! That means SEC football for me. This is my absolute favorite time of the year. When the leaves start to change color and fall, the Pumpkin Spice Lattes come out, the weather is cool enough to wear sweaters, I can break out my boots, and I can spend my Saturdays cheering on my Dawgs. There's just nothing else like it. Who are you pulling for today?

I'm the type of person who wants to please everyone. Well, I used to be that type of person. It's great to be a nice person who is always reliable and who everyone else counts on to always say yes to pretty much anything. That is, it's great until always saying yes becomes a burden and starts to negatively impact you. If being the reliable person ends up dragging you down and being detrimental to your health, it's not worth it! If you're afraid to say no to your friends then they aren't the types of friends you need to surround yourself with. It's okay to say NO! There comes a point where you have to start putting your needs in front of everyone else's. Don't be a doormat! No one needs that kind of negativity in their life. Instead of trying to please everyone, take your own needs and wants into consideration first. It's not selfish. It's self-care and it's important. There will never be another you, so make sure you take care of yourself...

Some of you might know this, but most of you probably don't. For the past several years I have suffered from anxiety. If you've never had this problem, I pray you never do. It is often unbearable, suffocating, miserable. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. My biggest thing is social anxiety. I have the hardest time making friends and opening up to anyone can be extremely difficult for me. I sometimes even have a tough time talking to my very best friend and I'm so blessed that she understands me completely and knows that sometimes I just need some time to myself. It may seem super cheesy and cliche, but this little bundle of joy has made even my darkest days seem a little bit brighter. Most days he's a pain, but when I wake up in the morning and when I get home from work his precious little face greets me at the top of the stairs and lifts my mood just like that. Anxiety is an awful feeling that can consume my every waking thought if I let it. It's important to find s...
