Shoot for the Stars
I’m in this little bubble that’s floating toward all my dreams. What’s the best that could happen on my way there? I’m afraid I’ve been dreaming too small lately. I think I should find some more ways to use my dreams to get excited about my journey, especially with everything that’s going on in theContinue reading “Shoot for the Stars”
Just Get Started
“Once we start a task, it’s rarely as bad as we think.” -Timothy A Pychyl Ph.D. from Psychology Today I made it through this first week of school. I’m so proud because, for some reason, it felt like everything was coming at me at once, but my work is in on time, and I’m gettingContinue reading “Just Get Started”
Curiosity
“Curiosity about life in all of its aspects, I think, is still the secret of great creative people.” – Leo Burnett I like this reminder. I forget that I need to stay curious. Keeping myself excited to learn new things is self-care, self-love, self-empowerment, all that. There’s so much to learn, but I’m the type of personContinue reading “Curiosity”

“Be not afraid of growing slowly; be afraid only of standing still.” – Chinese Proverb I’m the type of girl who likes things slow. I like to take it easy. I like to chill out and cruise around.

Goodness
“Goodness is the only investment that never fails.” -Henry David Thoreau This is well said. We often wonder what we have left to give. This, as Thoreau says, is something we can give. It’s an investment for the people, it’s an investment for our future, and we get to give it at no material cost.

“Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.” -John Dewey My day started out great!! But let me tell you, it wore off and when it did, it was rough. It was something about neither ebook for school working and other technology issues that really took it out of me. My anxiety wentContinue reading “School is Back in Session”
Getting Back At It
“It’s the steady, quiet, plodding ones who win in the lifelong race.” -Robert W. Service I’m feeling better. Not 100% but definitely way better. I’m ready to get back at it though. Slow and steady.
R&R for Me
“My relationship with my body has changed. I used to consider it as a servant who should obey, function, give pleasure. In sickness, you realise that you are not the boss. It is the other way around.” -Federico Fellini Today I’ve been fighting a cold. Lots of rest and soup for me. I’m hoping tomorrowContinue reading “R&R for Me”
Lend Your Energy to What is Good
“Let me live, love, and say it well in good sentences.” — Sylvia Plath I will be moving through life in a way that supports my entire well-being. My health, my spirit, my mind, and my family will be valued. I have been working on living like this for a long time. I may fail atContinue reading “Lend Your Energy to What is Good”
