January has begun and it is the month of aspired change, hope, and of course – goals! Whether you make a goal in January or any other time of the year, we all know that sometimes it isn’t easy to stick to a goal you have set for yourself. Today I want to talk about what I believe is the driving force behind not just achieving the goals you set for yourself, but overall improving the quality of your life:…
A new year – a new decade. A plethora of opportunities laid before us – all for the taking if we so choose. Happy New Year! Welcome to 2020! I hope that you had a wonderful New Year’s Eve/New Year’s Day celebration! Kevin and I started a new tradition of doing our end of the year burning ritual that I talked about in my last post. I must say – it felt good. We set our intentions for 2020 and wrote…
We are now in the final days of 2019. Many of us are looking forward to the clean slate of a new year. 2019 was a decent year for me, there were ups and downs like any other year but ultimately I feel as though I grew a bit this year. This particular new year will be bringing me face to face with major life decisions I’ve been intentionally saving off for 2020, and so for that reason, I am…
With the new year right around the corner, there is no better time than now to dust off some of the dreams and aspirations that have taken up residence in a deeply buried spot of your heart and mind. I’m not talking about ordinary new year’s resolutions but rather, the kind of things you dream about doing but have been putting off year after year after year. Earlier this year I turned 26. I’m now in a new age group…
Most of you who read my blog are my peers age-wise and at this point in our lives, our 20s, there is a lot of growing going on. During this time in our life, we enter new responsibilities; securing employment, paying bills, rent or a mortgage, learning to budget, to grocery shop and cook – and to maintain the spaces we live in. We experience relationships, breakups, new friends, the loss of old friends, and some may experience grief for…
With Thanksgiving right around the corner, there is no better time than now to talk about gratitude and how important it is to practice it in our daily lives. It’s not uncommon to hear someone say that they want to be happy. Sometimes we talk about happiness as a goal, as if happiness can be some permanent state of being. “I just want to be happy” The problem with looking at happiness as something to achieve is the fact…
Happy Monday readers 🙂 I hope this post finds you doing and feeling well. I’ve been feeling a little off for the past couple of days. I didn’t post on Friday and I’ve been feeling creatively, and emotionally drained. And honestly? A little sad about some things that I can’t control. I know I’m not alone in this, and that’s why I want to talk about it today. The holidays, ideally, should be a time of celebration, joy, connection, and…
Happy Monday readers! Today’s post is a list of some of my favorite podcasts. I personally enjoy listening to podcasts in the morning while getting ready for the day. Listening to a podcast is something I began to implement into my morning routine earlier this year and it has become one of my favorite parts of the morning! I typically go for podcasts that are inspiring, self-improvement based, and thought-provoking. I hope you consider checking out one or all of…
When I was a little girl my dad had this giant book all about zodiac signs. I used to love flipping through it, especially to the section about my sun sign, Cancer. I always felt like I related to my sun sign and for a long time I didn’t really look into astrology beyond that. Years later I did some more research into my birth chart. Your birth chart is basically a snapshot of the placement of the planets at…
In a previous post, The Magic of Journaling I briefly touched upon Future Self Journaling mentioning that I would eventually make a post specifically about my experience with it and why I would recommend it to others. Well, this is that post! I first learned of The Holistic Psychologist aka Nicole LePera a few months ago on Instagram. I found her page and her Future Self Journaling (FSJ) work to be very interesting. To me, it resembled a way of using…
