Warning: Incoming rant. I haven’t gone for a run in 6 days. And before that, it was 8. There, I said it. Things have been SO CRAZY around here with the launch of my 2014 Printable Planner, prepping for my $300 Amazon Anniversary Giveaway and my ACTUAL JOB that I just haven’t done it. MyRead more
As of yesterday, it has been 8 weeks since I began focusing on my fitness. Looking back, I remember running with my cousin Emma on my first ever 3 minute run. I was panting, exhausted, wanted to stop, with stitches in my side and my heart beat like it was going to explode. LastRead more
I am very tech savvy. I work on computers, I’m a web designer, my husband is in IT. Often in life I find myself looking for techie shortcuts to improve my situation. Always forgetting the shopping list? Get a list app. Tired of moving files from one computer to another? Get Google Drive. SoRead more
I’ve decided to restart an old category called Who I Want to be Wednesday. These posts will be generally about me, sometimes related to heath, well being, and personal stuff. Alright, I admit it. I used to lie in school to get out of running the mile. (Sorry Mrs. Bowers.) My dad was aRead more
Its officially December. For me, December means a great deal of things. There’s the usual Christmas, and Holiday parties. There’s shopping for gifts, wrapping and decorating. December is also my birthday (precisely one week before Christmas) – so that’s thrown into the mix. December means seeing people I haven’t seen in a while, catching upRead more
You know, I just can’t be trusted. Months ago I started the Who I want to Be series. The idea was, that I would work harder on being who I want to be, and share that journey with you. The three main things that I wanted to focus on were: Be Healthier Exercise Control Compulsions ShareRead more
I had no plans for a Wanna Be Wednesday this week. I’ve been plagued with headaches and feeling very busy. This one segment, I thought, I could just leave out this week. I was wrong. Yesterday I got a disturbing phone call from a family member, we’ll call her Lynne. She was upset and cryingRead more
Since beginning my journey on Who I Want To Be, I’ve spent a lot of time in reflection. I review myself, give myself criticism, praise myself, forgive myself, destress myself, relax myself…. seeing a trend? But this week my focus has been outside of my own self. My darling husband has been such a help since I’ve knownRead more
Boy howdy. Its difficult to follow the amazing guest post from last week’s Who I want to Be Wednesday, but I guess I’ll try. A couple weeks ago in this segment I highlighted how I manage my stress. I talked about trying to leave my trouble’s in other’s hands and not worry so much. ItsRead more
Hey everyone, its Wednesday again. The day I reflect on my journey towards Who I Want to Be. This week I have the distinct pleasure of introducing Bethany from Sprinkles and Allergies to you all. Bethany and I went to High School together. To be honest, we were each different people back then and we weren’tRead more
Things get hectic. Yup- that happens. People start to get pushy, and you start to feel overwhelmed. That’s when I’m at my worst. I internalize a lot of “what ifs” and “how comes”, which leads me to be constantly anxious about what I’m going to do next. In the beginning of the Who I Want to BeRead more
Off and on I’ve lightly discussed my over-grooming tendencies. Essentially, I have a compulsion when dealing with stress where I over critique and “groom” my skin. Usually by way of scratching/picking pimples and blackheads on my face. The official name is dermatillomania. Sometimes until it hurts. Its shameful, and I’m reminded of my own badRead more
