I was going to include some goal talk in my Monthly Medley, but decided I wanted to dedicate a whole post to it instead. We're past the halfway point of January and it's unfortunately highly likely that New Year's resolutions are beginning to be broken or forgotten. That's okay. A goal's beginning doesn't have to …

Everything is Subject to Change
The other day, I wound up taking a scroll down memory lane going through posts I’ve made on social media. It’s strange and sometimes cringeworthy to see who you were compared to who you are now. I used to jump at any chance to eat steak and potatoes, was obsessed with baseball, and spent extra …
Tools for Investigating You
May is on its way to coming to a close and my intention for this month was to dive into ourselves. I'll be honest, I feel like posts got slightly offtrack or got posted out of the most beneficial order, but here we are and ready to get into some tools for investigating you. I …
Let’s Get Unfunky
If you're a human, there's a good chance you've experienced a time when you're in a funk. Trust me, you're not alone. Today, I'm sharing several things that help me out when I'm feeling down. Journal. My go-to is always to get out what's going on internally on paper. Maybe you feel like you don't …
A Closet that Conveys You
Growing up, I watched a lot of What Not to Wear. I know, you'd never know by the picture of a young fashionista in the making. Looking back on it, I wonder how many transformations on that show were about introducing the person to a new way of being and a side of themselves they …

I’ve always been the type to find comfort in a pen and some paper. I’ve also been the type to thoroughly enjoy listing or organizing. It caught me off guard, though, …
Staying on Track with Time and Money
Howdy! Over the years, I’ve had people comment positively on my money habits. After talking to a coworker the other day about finances, I had the idea to share what I do with others. Beyond that, though, I’ve been doing my best to be more on top of my time and making sure I’m getting …
Books: 40 by 30
As I had mentioned in my last blog post, one of the things I’d like to do before I’m 30 is read 40 books. I decided I want to document each book I read in a running list that can be easily referenced whenever. For that reason, this post will have a permanent spot in …
Let’s Talk About Therapy
As I recently stated, I started going to therapy. My decision to be open about going to therapy isn’t a ploy to gain concern of my well-being, but to hopefully help others understand that you don’t have to be broken to be in therapy. We will go to a doctor for anything from something acute …
G. R. A. T. E. F. U. L.
Hello everybody! I have a late night, nearing the end of the week, follow up to my previous post. If you read it, you know there are some things I've concluded I need to work on. A few main ones are having faith, being grateful, and being myself. I've been playing with something in my …
