You’ll Rest Either Way

January 7, 2019 by Blair Lamb Filed Under: Schedules and Routines, Simple Living, Soul Food

You'll Rest Either Way | BlairBlogs.com

A few months ago, I heard someone say, “You can either choose to rest or you will be forced to rest. You’ll rest either way.” I have rolled those words around and around in my mind. It seems silly now, but I had never considered this reality before. Of course it’s true: I can choose to take breaks, [Continue Reading…]

I Don’t Need to Live Near a Target

July 25, 2018 by Blair Lamb Filed Under: Soul Food

I Don't Need to Live Near a Target | BlairBlogs.com

True story: When I was planning my move to Texas in 2013, one of my top apartment-hunting criteria was that my apartment had to be near a Target. I remember typing in the address of every prospective apartment on Google Maps and searching for the nearest one. If the Target was “too far,” like 20 [Continue Reading…]

My Loneliness Was a Gift

July 13, 2018 by Blair Lamb Filed Under: Rooted Series, Soul Food

My Loneliness Was a Gift | BlairBlogs.com

My loneliness was a gift. Those are five words I never thought I’d write. Three years ago, almost to the day, I moved. I was two weeks away from getting married and starting a new life with my almost-husband, Riley. Though I was sad to leave my community, job, and city, I was more excited [Continue Reading…]

Discontentment Follows You

February 28, 2018 by Blair Lamb Filed Under: Soul Food

Discontentment Follows You | BlairBlogs.com

This post contains affiliate links. This is perhaps the most challenging, most important lesson I’ve learned in my adult life: discontentment follows you. There was a time when I thought “I’ll be happy when x happens.” Or, “When y happens, I’ll feel content.” Or most dangerously, “I won’t be peaceful or joyful until z happens.” (I [Continue Reading…]

I Am Not a Victim of My Circumstances: Thoughts on Abundance

December 13, 2017 by Blair Lamb Filed Under: Soul Food

I am Not a Victim of my Circumstances: Thoughts on Abundance | BlairBlogs.com

I think about everything. I’m serious–I overthink, contemplate, obsess, and ruminate. It’s been a part of who I am for as long as I can remember. I can vividly recall moments in elementary school where I would get so lost in thought that I would be deeply embarrassed when my teacher would call me out [Continue Reading…]

The Most Awkward Years of My Life: My 20s

October 25, 2017 by Blair Lamb Filed Under: Relationships, Soul Food

The Most Awkward Years of My Life: My 20s | Blairblogs.com

The middle school years have long been called “the awkward years.” And awkward they were. We’re talking flat-chested, brace-faced, frizzy-haired, unsure-of-myself awkward. Though I looked like a strange girl-woman and acted weird, my life wasn’t all that awkward. I was in school, and I knew I’d be in school for the next 8+ years with people I’d [Continue Reading…]

How to Schedule a Season of Rest So You Don't Lose Your Mind | Blairblogs.com

2017, The year of travel Because 2016 was a deeply challenging year for me, I set out to travel as much as possible in 2017. We started the year with a trip to Disney. Then we went on two different trips to Austin. Next was a solo trip to Florida to visit my grandparents; after [Continue Reading…]

Hope When You Can’t “Find Your Tribe”

Hope When You Can't "Find Your Tribe" | BlairBlogs.com

If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, you know I’ve been dealing with hand pain that’s made it difficult to type. Because of that, I’m blogging less to facilitate healing. Thanks for sticking with me! What if I can’t “find my tribe?” The other day I was listening to a podcast. At the end [Continue Reading…]

Life Has Already Started

August 21, 2017 by Blair Lamb Filed Under: Simple Living, Soul Food

Life Has Already Started | BlairBlogs.com

Throughout my life, I’ve often found myself feeling like life is about to start. When I was in middle school, I thought life would really start once I was in high school. When I was in high school, I thought life would really start once I was in college. When I was in college, I thought life would really start once [Continue Reading…]
