The Non-Resolution

2019 was wild! I grew my business, then decided to pursue my master's in counseling, began my master's in counseling, and then decided to end my business. In the midst of all of this, I have done a lot of work internally. I have worked on seeing the world in less "all or nothing" terms.…

Constant Progress

Do you ever get caught feeling like if you are not making direct progress on your goals, you are failing? Today I am feeling this way. Often times it can feel like if you stop climbing for a second, you are sliding backward. Pulling yourself out of this lie and thought can be difficult. With…

Crystal Clear Intentions

How clear are your intentions? How specific are your goals and your vision for your life? This year my goals are crystal clear. For possibly the first time in my life, I feel like I have a very clear vision for my year ahead. I have 4 specific and attainable goals. I have the drive…

Today is the last day of the year. Today is a day of reflection and looking forward. New years eve is an opportunity to look back on the year leaving us and learn from mistakes and reminisce on the good memories. For me, 2018 was a year of fears and unknowns, growth and reflection, evaluation…

I am guilty of saying “oh I will start tomorrow” or “I will start on Monday” and then never starting. I am guilty of giving up before I even begin. I am guilty of making excuses. Over the past year, I have been working very hard on doing the things I enjoy more. I have…
