Hey everyone! So far, I’ve been reading a book a month this year. I’ve realized that is what my lifestyle allows and it makes me happy that at least I am reading far more than last year, so I shouldn’t punish myself for not reading “enough.” This month, I decided to switch to a mystery […]
June 2016-Almost Halfway There!
Happy June, folks! At least I hope it’s a happy day for y’all! I came to the realization that just like recent years, everything seems to be flying by. I recall sitting down in my high school classrooms waiting for the second hand to touch the minute hand, then on to touch the hour hand. […]
New Book Update: The Year Without a Purchase
Earlier this month, I began reading The Year Without a Purchase: One Family’s Quest to Stop Shopping and Start Connecting by Scott Dannemiller, and I must say, I am finding it quite surprising.

Hi there! The last 2 weeks have been filled with crazy amounts of events, so here I am to finally write about reading yet another book for this year. I didn’t have a set goal in mind, but I probably should’ve. Although this one took me the longest to read (maybe because in the middle […]

2016 Intentions
Hey, all! I believe we all should continue to add on to our intentions to outline our 2016. I am a strong believer in the written word; I make things happen only when I do this. It is sometimes difficult to sit down and take about 30 minutes out of your day to create this […]
