Communication is Still Underrated



Right now I want to make a point. Don’t be toyed with in all this “censorship” nonsense going on in the world. The few, loud “squeaky wheel gets the grease” voices are trying hard to convince the comparative masses in the good USA that things as we know it are crumbling and we need saving. The facts are we don’t need saving, we need to reconnect to our roots. For Believers, we already have a Savior, and are grounded in loving all people. On this land, we need to connect. If we connect with PEOPLE there will always be a way to communicate. Communication is still underrated, even in year 2021. I myself have several ways to connect with others, as only some of them are listed in the attached picture and even I, who dub myself a Communication Queen miss the mark. I can do more. I can be better. Remind yourself daily to trust facts, not emotions, all while loving on others and staying true to yourself. The easy thing to do is get mad at obstacles, so work at providing better solutions. The media will tell us everyone hates everyone, when the truth is no one has ever hated everyone. Kindness still wins. Laughter still releases stress and heals from the inside out. If we are busy working yo making us better, there is much less time for drama and destructive gossip. We must choose to forgive purposely, but remember forgiveness doesn’t mean you keep putting up with the same thing someone has always done - on ANY level. At some point you many have to kick toxicity to the curb, so to speak. Use the K.I.S.S. principal of Keep It Simple Stup...Silly. Surround yourself with others who find value in your friendship, your time, your input, and those you can learn from no matter their age. The bottom line is if you want to connect with someone, or they want to connect with you, there is always a way. 


Until next time ~ Nikki Smith

Sorry, I’ve Got to Call Them Out

Sorry everyone, I have got to call out a group and I hate to do it but it’s time —> “some” Medical Professionals. I really do love you all, and there are so many things we couldn’t survive as a community without you, but there is this one thing I see pop up. It’s apathy for the non-exciting sports injuries.   Two weeks ago yesterday, our youngest who is a freshman, was playing his beloved football game at school. Towards the very end of the game during the 4th quarter, our son made a great tackle, but he also took a knee to the center of his chest. You know, of course it was just right where the shoulder pads didn’t cover: in the center. He shook it off until the end of the game (this kid will play through most anything!) We iced him down and watched him overnight and by the next day the very bottom area of his sternum was incredibly swollen; it looked like a tennis ball was under his skin! However, Saturday that was all but gone but still the center of his sternum hurt. We iced...

Opportunities - Unlike toilet paper in 2020, they are not few...

My family is my WHY. Doing something good for the “big picture" in life it is more than just intrinsic value. We are designed to give and to receive, and it should come joyfully from the heart. It is humbling and empowering to know that Joy wrapped up in one little package can be so motivating. With that being said, doing good should be evident for yourself as well as those you work along side at work, at church, at home, or any given relationship.  Life is short - tell others what they mean or risk them resolving to their own ideas of what they mean to you. It's in our nature. Giving praise where praise is due is fundamental in knowing how we have done, and that we are valued. It shapes our experiences. Without it we will always flounder about and come to our own conclusions, no matter how ridiculous they may be.  Doing something good for others extends past your reflective talking points, pushes you past your routine, and is something each of us crave as humans. Life is flui...

Back in the Saddle - Check out my ETSY Shop!

  It's been a while! I am starting my blog again, because it's 2023, and we have SURVIVED and will continue to SURVIVE from the last few years on this wild ride of a world we live in. I created my own ETSY Shop, and my first item is a flexible and forgiving Budget Planner called The Budget for Surviving Life! My ETSY Shop is called - you guessed it - The Ever Evolving Smith - because that is simply who I am. I evolve. I learn something new daily. How fun is that? We are here to not only survive, but grow, and thrive - and that is what we all dream of right? We share love and hope, laughs and tears, throw in a little sass (or throw up hands) sometimes, and do our best to enjoy the time we are given. Printables (instant downloads) are not my only plan with my lil' shop, but it is a great start. I love what I created and I will use it myself. I have spent some time brainstorming, and have jotted down tons of ideas. I don't know about you, but I literally get a natural high...
