There are a lot of different stressors in our lives: travel, family, work, money…you name it, chances are that it stresses someone out. Though I tend to thrive in multitasking, I do tend to get overwhelmed with a large volume of tasks. At work, I’m coordinating our annual conference, a $50,000 philanthropic effort, my boss’ […]
Challenges
Writing Challenge | October 2017
I’ve always liked writing. Not necessarily authorship writing, but just writing things down. I have a million notebooks around my house, so why not put them to use? For October, I’m taking on this writing challenge. This isn’t entirely introspective, like some of the others I’ve taken on have been. Some of these are just […]
7 Days of No Television
Happy Monday! For the next week, I’m taking on a mini-challenge and doing seven days without television. If you recall, I like having noise in the background when I come home and do things. However, my time spent with Netflix on is distracting. Do you know how many more books I could read? How many […]
Perfect Abs Challenge
With the holidays terrifyingly around the corner, it’s never too early to get in shape. Heck, it’s not too late to get in on your new year’s resolutions either. For September, I’m tackling the “30 Day Perfect Abs Challenge”. Thanks, TransformFitspo! Now, I like to think that I’m a fairly fit person. I’m not a […]
The Single Girl Challenge
It’s been about a year. Since what, you ask? Since my last date. Since my last relationship. Yeah…I’ve been single for a year now. I’ve learned a lot for sure! Instead of harping on my single-ness being a negative thing (as a lot may do), I’m going to take this month to conquer The Single […]
Living Alone: 10 Lessons I Learned about Myself
It really is impressive how your life can change in a year. Exactly one year ago, I moved out of a townhouse I shared with my then-boyfriend and into a new apartment all by myself for the very first time. Everyone has always told me that you need to live alone at least once in […]
The Prayer Challenge
How is it already June? I’m both grateful and baffled that the year is going by so quickly. Another new month means another new challenge. This month, I’m going to visit my sister and her family in Europe! With me traveling, I needed a challenge that traveled with me. I’m concentrating on prayer this month. […]
The Journal Challenge
I’m really bad about writing about myself and talking about myself. For the number of notebooks I have, you would think that I really love writing in a journal and reflecting on myself. False. Browsing through Pinterest, I found the “Emotional Eating Journal Challenge“. Thus, for the month of May, I’m going to try to […]
Walk to Run Challenge
Running is such a good workout to like. You can do it wherever you are, even if you’re traveling. It doesn’t require anything other than a pair of sneakers and some clothes. I’ve tried to get into running. It’s difficult for me to find the best time of day to do it though. I’m not […]
Reflection: The Bible Challenge
I really enjoyed March’s Bible Challenge. It was one of my favorite times of my day. I used one of my newer journals, my favorite pens, and spend some time with my faith. Most nights, Olivia would jump up on the bed and cuddle with me. For me, faith has kind of come and gone […]
