Self-Care Sunday: Give Your Goal a “Why”

As we near the end of the first month of 2018, a lot of us are checking in with ourselves and making sure that our goals and intentions for 2018 are still in tact; while most of us have already fallen by the wayside at Week 2. While we all had lofty goals and everything…

A Narrative Change in 2018

Hello 2018… Here we are again at the inception of another year.  Another opportunity to set intentions and goals for ourselves; to start routines that we may or may not commit to our memories by the end of the year.  The beginning of the year is a time that everyone is all too familiar with…

What Are You Leaving in 2017?

This question continues to surround me, and has been for the past couple of days; “what are you leaving in 2017?” I believe that we ask ourselves this question every year around this time. As we prepare and plan for a new year, we set our new goals and intentions and manifest new and great…

So, I’m 30; Now What??

Now that I’m officially “in my 30’s” I have felt a very blatant and noticeable shift in my perspective and energy. I feel the strong desire to make some hard decisions about my life and where it’s going. I’m not sure if it’s just the aura of the new age; however, I am feeling my…

Striving to be Better for Those Who Look up to Me

Q: Do I see myself as successful? I don’t really define success by the way others view my accomplishments; but more-so how I feel about what I have accomplished. At the beginning of this year, I made a list of things I wanted to accomplish.  I made promises to myself about the type of woman…

Are you Courageous Enough to Live Freely?

Oftentimes, we have these amazing goals and visions for ourselves. We have vision boards, detail-oriented plans and explanations on how to make these goals a reality and we have the ability and the opportunity to make these things happen. The question is; do you have the courage to step out and live freely in those…

#50Days50Questions: Cross that Off the Bucket List! 

What is something that I want to do but have not done? Good question; I would say travel more. I want to see more of the world, and I want to take the kid along for the ride.  I want to be able to say that I’ve allowed my daughter to see different parts of…

#50Days50Questions: Where Do You See Yourself…? 

Where/how would I like to see myself in a year? 10 years? In a year, I’d like to believe that I could be progressing towards a better overall level of happiness. But to be honest, I have no idea; and that might be kind of scary for some, but honestly this is one my of…
