Speaking aloud the burdens we carry can make them less burdensome. #BookQuotes #UntitledForNow

It's October. When is the last time you looked at your goals? Have you stayed diligent? Have your priorities changed? Or maybe you abandoned them? Are you already thinking about your 2026 goals? #LifeInProgress

Real talk. How many of you secretly care about what other people think even though you know you shouldn't? 🙋‍♀️ #LifeInProgress

I have a video of the place described here. It still looks the same today. Comment below if you want me to drop the clip! #BookQuotes #UntitledForNow

I will never pretend to have it all together because no one does. If anyone tries to convince you they do, they lack authenticity. I said what I said. #LifeInProgress

I was at the center of crisis, unsure of how to move forward. I had to take a long look in the mirror, and come to terms with the fact that I was partially responsible how shitty my life felt in that moment. It was hard, but I wouldn't have gotten through it if I never took the time to self-reflect.

I know you all love Billy Ray. I loved him too. #BookQuotes #UntitledForNow

I know. Sometimes life sucks. It's okay to acknowledge that and simply sit in the suck for a moment. But eventually, you need to realize that you are so much stronger than you give yourself credit for. #LifeInProgress

A leader who I have a lot of respect for loves this quote, and knowing her and seeing what we have been able to achieve with this mindset, I love it too. With that, stop placing limits on yourself. Stop being afraid of things that haven't happened yet or may never happen. Get out of your own way.

The moment Helen's motivation to be a good mom changed. ❤️

There is power in vulnerability. So cry about it. Be honest. Show your heart. Let us see how strong you really are. #LifeInProgress

There have been many times that I thought, "I just need a day." As if in one day I was going to catch up and completely overhaul my life. More often, we need 15 minutes in the morning, 10 minutes during our lunch break, and 30 minutes before bed to make significant change. #LifeInProgress

The cycle of domestic violence often includes affection that feels all-consuming and addictive. #BookQuotes #UntitledForNow

When I was thirteen, I sat on the floor. The carpet threads imprinting on my thighs as a man murdered his best friend. My body became an earthquake, category 9. Violent sobs erupted from my belly and spilled from mouth and eyes. I'll never forget the last page of Of Mice and Men.

Please tell me I am not alone in this. Every now and again, I will feel this shift in the energy around me. It's an unfounded optimism and certainty that something is coming. I just wish I knew when... #LifeInProgress

Untitled for Now offers an honest and unflinching glimpse into the experience of a domestic violence survivor, revealing how, over time, their sense of self can be eroded. #BookQuotes #UntitledForNow

Sharp inhale through the nose. Blink back those tears. Square your shoulders. We may not have time to break down and process today. But, let's carve some time out to do so tomorrow. Okay? #LifeInProgress

Healing hurts. It's the very reason there are so many unhealed people out there (and a lack a mental health services). I just want you to know it's supposed to hurt. It's supposed to be hard. But, it's so worth it. #LifeInProgress

Grief is difficult, but I think for mothers, it's different. We don't have the luxury of sitting in our grief for too long. #BookQuotes #UntitledforNow

I'm not good at letting go. My resistance to let go is often related to a sense of responsibility and guilt. For instance, my mother because at my core I'll always be that little girl who just wanted her mom. However, I've learned that sometimes we have to allow ourselves to grieve what never was.

Did you know that I narrated the audiobook for Untitled for Now? If not, you do now. 🎧

When we are stuck in a constant state of flight, it can be hard to slow down long enough embrace the present. #BookQuotes #UntitledForNow

If I LOVED a book, I NEED you to read the book. I need everyone to experience what I have experienced. I can't explain it, but I NEED it. #BookishThoughts

I spent approximately 4 days in my villain era, and boy did it feel good. Then, I remembered my north star, and stopped being petty. Villain Desiree was super fun while it lasted. #LifeInProgress

Stories that feel real and raw have the power to heal. Untitled for Now is one of those stories, and I’m so grateful for readers like this who’ve embraced it. If you could break any cycle in your life, what would it be? #UntitledforNow #DesireeMooreBooks #YourNextFavoriteBook

Why is it that some of the hardest lessons come wrapped in pain? It’s unfair, exhausting, and yet here we are. #LifeInProgress

Helen was raised to hold responsibility for the emotional well-being of everyone around her. It made balancing her grief with her sense of responsibility an impossible task. #BookQuotes #UntitledforNow

The reviews on Tomorrow, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin are mixed. But let me just say, I sat in my car staring at nothing for at least twelve minutes after finishing this book. I still think about Sam and Sadie, and wonder how they’re doing now in their fictional world. #BookishThoughts

I have astrophobia, a fear of space, likely because of how unknown it feels. That fear inspired Imogene’s love of astronomy and Stacy’s unease. #AffirmingImogene

This year, I started with a full focus planner and a notion board. Last year, I used a bullet journal and Monday. The year before, I designed a custom planner. I'm really trying to find something that sticks. Any advice? #LifeInProgress
