DEBT. Gross. That word just holds so many bad feelings, memories and associations. I can tell you that I have a really LONG and tumultuous history with money in general and debt specifically. Maybe in another post I will get more into the “how I got here” but for today, let’s just stay positive and […]

Sometimes we have to use “reverse principles” in order to break a bad habit. One of the ideas that James Clear writes about in his book Atomic Habits was the importance of not just forming new/good habits – but actions must be consciously taken to break old/bad habits that don’t serve our identity. I admit […]
With the reinvigorated spirit of January – I had to look at one of my oldest, and most reassuring relationships: My relationship with alcohol. I alluded to it in a past post but I want to do a more dissected view. I never really drank much in high school/early college. I went to a party […]
In my post These are a few of my favorite things… I wrote about my Day Planner… To put it lightly, I LOVE my planner. I use it every day and it sort of morphed over time, starting with just “events” written down – into a full fledged journal, day planner, goal tracker, memory book […]
I recently watched a very well articulated speech by a young man, who was the Valedictorian of his graduating class (presuming high school). He brought up something that I thought was especially relevant to me (and probably many others) right now. If you don’t feel like watching the video, essentially he speaks about how he […]

Since one of my 2020 “goals” is to figure out my spending/debt, I have been doing some reading into the psychology behind it. One interesting tidbit I read in the book Atomic Habits was about the “Diderot Effect” which is named after the 1700s French Philosopher, Denis Diderot. To sum it up quickly – it’s […]
In my excitement for 2020 – I COMPLETELY forgot to talk about 2019! HOW DID I SPEND A WHOLE YEAR?! Here’s a little highlight reel and some thoughts/lessons learned… 2019 January Kicked off my 2019 with a girls trip to Hawaii. Spent time with an old friend from the military and saw a new place […]
I wrote about it a few days ago here: 2020 – What’s in store? – but my morning routine has been something I have been working on. I heard the title quote multiple places/times – but it SEEMS that starting a morning in a way that feels right for the individual, can help set the […]
HAPPY NEW YEAR! I know – I’m the worst and I do NOT keep up with my “blog” … Let’s just agree and move on. Small Changes = Big Wins Since last year, and carrying into the present, I have been trying to keep in mind that “small changes” are the true key to success. […]
