Every morning, one of the first thoughts that pops into my head is, What is life going to teach me today? I don’t plan it. It just shows up. And honestly, I’ve grown to love that about myself. It keeps me open, curious, and always looking for meaning in the everyday stuff.

Sometimes it’s a random quote I hear.
Sometimes it’s something my daughter says out of nowhere that hits deeper than I expect.
Sometimes it’s just a feeling—one I don’t fully understand yet but know I’ll want to come back to.

Whenever something inspires me or makes me pause, I pull out my Notes app and type it down. No filters, no pressure. Just me capturing that moment before it fades. It could be three words or a whole paragraph. Sometimes I don’t even read it back for weeks or months. But when I do, wow—some of those notes land even harder the second time around. Like past me knew I’d need that little reminder later.

It’s kind of wild how much meaning can live in a digital space that looks so simple. That Notes app? It’s full of moments that moved me, thoughts I never shared out loud, and things I don’t want to forget.

Maybe one day I’ll turn those little sparks into something bigger. Maybe not. For now, I like knowing they’re there—proof that I’m always learning, always growing, and always listening.

If you don’t do this already, maybe give it a try. You never know what kind of inspiration you might catch in the middle of an ordinary day.
