We all know the past two years have been crazy, full of ups and downs, and… Continue reading How I Set My Yearly Goals

Looking Back on My Goals for the Year
We're getting closer to the end of the year, meaning New Year's resolutions are just around the corner.

Managing Pain and Setbacks
Dude. I'm practically the queen of setbacks at this point. I don't want to make excuses, but LIFE gets in the way sometimes! This time, it is pain. Sudden, chronic pain all over my body. Since giving birth to Luna 2 years ago, I've had more issues with my joints than I had previously. But… Continue reading Managing Pain and Setbacks

Getting My Sh*t Together Challenge – Week 1 Check In – Shi*t Got Done!
So, it’s only been a week. And good habits are not established in just a week. There is still a good possibility that after doing this for a few weeks -- or even a few months to be honest -- I will lose my excitement over planning and organizing and fall off the “get my sh*t together” wagon.

It also helps that my daily affirmation for the month is “I believe in myself and my ability to succeed.”
