I know...much easier said than done. But I got to thinking and I'm curious, why do we do this? Why do we (willingly!) dig ourselves deeper and deeper into a dark black hole that only leads to lust for more more more! I need this. I want that. I want to be like her. She's got it all together- sigh.
You win or lose by the things you chose. And it’s no secret that the more you know, the better you position yourself to make smarter and better decisions. As a 23-year-old fresh out of college, I’m at the very beginning of my adulthood and specifically, my career. Having only a few months of real world working experience under my belt, my “status” in the corporate/professional world is essentially not…
Honesty is the best policy....right? So full disclosure here. I've been a little down in the details lately.

I typically get the same thing every time at my favorite restaurants because…well, I know I’ll like it. Plus, I usually end up craving it before I can even…
While spending time at home over the short-but-sweet thanksgiving holiday, I was able to slow down a bit and enjoy some great quality time with my family. Sometimes I forget how refreshing a little time at home can be! It was so nice to be able to take a step back from my daily routine and relatively short-term-way-of-thinking. Meaning, instead of focusing on getting “through the day” or completing any…
I should print this out. 100 times. and hide a copy anywhere and everywhere I can think of because I constantly need reminding. For some reason, no matter how hard I try, I just can’t do it.
