A Nostalgic Lesson on Failure
It took my sister and I all of two days after Disney+ came out to give in and subscribe. For some people, the draw was the backlog of Marvel movies and shows like The Mandalorian, for us it was easy access to Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century. Because let’s face it, when it comes… Continue reading

The Year of “Shine”
As a final wrap up of 2019, I wanted to share with you my word of the year. Since 2015, I have found a faith-based word to focus on each year. In these last five years (!!) I have had: trust, give, patience, surrender, and then for this year I got shine. Every word has… Continue reading

2019 Goals Final Wrap Up
I mentioned this in my goals for 2020 post, but I was a little self-conscious/borderline ashamed at how unfinished my 2019 goals went last year. The first year I made a list of goals, in 2017, I went ALL OUT to finish by the time that clock struck midnight, and I felt bad for not… Continue reading

17 Goals for 2020 (List-cember #8)
It’s that time of year again, y’all. I’m going to be honest, this list was not easy to make this year. My 2019 was absolutely CRAZY in terms of busyness, so a lot of my goals were left unattended and it made me very discouraged. For a hot second I thought about not setting any… Continue reading

You Already Know What You’re Going to Do
I was watching a television show the other day and at one point in the episode one of the characters went to therapy. During the session, the therapist looked at the character and said, “You already know what you’re going to do. You’ve already made up your mind and you know what you’re going to… Continue reading

Leaning into FEAR
I was going through my notebook the other day and I found a quote I wrote down a while back. I mentioned it in this post almost a year ago, but it hit me hard when I saw it again and I wanted to share it. It is from The School of Greatness podcast, episode… Continue reading

Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation September Challenge
Hello and Happy September! Hopefully you are at home or on vacation or somewhere other than work right now, blissfully living out your three day weekend and pretending that it’s going to last forever. (Fingers crossed it does.) Personally I think September is the best month of the year, not only because I was born… Continue reading

BAWAGA: A New Mindset
I talk a lot about inspiration on this blog. Whether it be my own ideas, lessons I’ve learned from others, or words and phrases I’ve picked up anywhere and everywhere else. I’ve talked about mantras and mottos that carry me through rougher days (i.e. It’s Not Time to Worry Yet and Just Live the Day)… Continue reading

10 Easy Ways to Learn Something New Every Day
If you are like me, you love learning. You love dropping fun facts and (as subtly as possible) saying look what I can do! And while 12 years of grade school might have given us somewhat of a distaste for the long winded, multiple choice kind of learning, these days it doesn’t take much for us to learn… Continue reading
