Self-Care Sunday: Let’s Take a Walk

It’s been a long time, but I am bringing back my Self-Care Sunday blog posts!! I had so much fun with them before, that I decided that after about a year, I would bring them back! With that being said, let’s get into this week’s item of self-care; taking a walk! Now, this post is…

Finding my Confidence

Fun fact: Despite my consistency in the gym, I still sometimes battle with the level of confidence I have with myself. It’s crazy, I know; but it is possible to work very hard at something and still not always feel like you look as good as others may see you. I’ve received many compliments on…

My 2020 Word

I’ve seen several posts on Instagram or Twitter asking, “what is your one word for 2020?” I believe this has now taken place of your once dedicated resolutions. People aren’t setting resolutions, they are putting one word into the universe and moving towards living by that word. I decided to try that this year; instead…

How to Get Prepared for the New Year!

2020 is fastly approaching (t-minus 4 days exactly). This mean resolutions will fly, parties will be planned, and most people will be deciding when and where they will be when the clock strikes midnight. Most of us will be plotting our next big success in 2020, and if we are properly prepared, nothing will stand…

It’s Not about a Number, It’s about your Happiness

Two years ago, I was in a bad place. I didn’t like the way I looked, I was miserable and I felt like whenever I tried to eat better or stay in the gym I’d give up and get frustrated. I had always enjoyed going to the gym, but it had just felt useless and…

2019 Reflections

When I first thought of this post, I wanted to discuss all the things that I did not accomplish, that I have been kicking myself for so far this month.  Instead of harping on what I did not accomplish, I took the time to remind myself of the things I did accomplish this year.  These things…

#GivingTuesday

In the spirit of Giving Tuesday, what better way to support someone than to donate to their passion, their dream, their life’s work? Not many know; but, I have my own publishing company that I have now published 3 of my 4 novels under. My dream is to one day be big enough to have…

‘‘Twas the Night before NaNo….”

What are you preparing? Or, what are you finishing? What will have you gazing at a computer for endless hours in a day? What will have you in the suspect corner of a coffee shop or Barnes&Noble; headphones engaged and fingers on the home row? What goals have you set for yourself? Who’s your motivation?…

Stretching my Creative Muscles

Lately, I’ve had the urge to do more with my creative brain. Currently, I am a writer; I write poetry, prose, short stories, novels. That brings me peace, but I also want something that can make me explore and expand my creative ideas. I have been thinking about painting and photography mainly, as those are…

Don’t Let Comparison Steal Your Joy

I’m sure we have all heard the quote “comparison is the thief of all joy.” We as humans live in a world where comparison happens without knowledge. You see a person with a better job, better car, better house, etc. and sometimes we cannot help but compare our lives to others. What we don’t realize…
