Shopping – If I Had a Million Dollars
I remember as a kid we were often asked what we would do if we had a million dollars. In fact, in fifth grade I had to make a presentation with my friend about how exactly we would spend a million dollars. I remember we bought a huge house for rather cheap in Vegas, furnished … Continue reading Shopping – If I Had a Million Dollars
An Effervescent Force of Put-Together Perfection
A month ago I had my pride hurt a bit by someone I have to see most of the week. The day after, I put a post-it note on my computer at work that reads: an effervescent force of put-together perfection. I let my pride sting at home, but that pain manifested itself into a … Continue reading An Effervescent Force of Put-Together Perfection
What I Learned From My 30 Day Challenge
Recently, (about thirty days ago in fact), I made a post about how I would start challenging myself for thirty days to stick to those pesky New Year's Resolutions and grow into my goals. The plan was that for thirty days I would exercise (a work out or walking 10,000+ steps), study Korean (and add … Continue reading What I Learned From My 30 Day Challenge
30 Day Challenge: Growth
Every year I find myself motivated at the new year, and every year I find that motivation dwindle quickly as the weight of a year's worth of commitments weighs down my shoulders. Sound familiar?

The One Where I Feel Like Chatting
Most Mondays I post some bit of advice or motivation, but it can get quite preachy, and I'm not feeling particularly preachy today. There's only so many things I can give advice about while I'm still working hard on my own goals. So let's have a chat. I feel good. I struggled a bit last … Continue reading The One Where I Feel Like Chatting
Reminders for the Dreamers
Do as you say. It is a million times easier to say you hope to do something that it is to actually go out and do it. Goals are dreams with a deadline. Make a deadline, make a goal, and from there make a plan of action. You have to learn to be self-motivated and … Continue reading Reminders for the Dreamers

The One Where I’m High On Life
Today I feel amazing. It doesn't matter that I'm sick and hungry and could use a nap. I. feel. amazing. Progress is happening. I always write my Motivation Monday posts about making goals and chasing after them, and I do believe that, but of course it's a little different to follow said advice and even … Continue reading The One Where I’m High On Life
