If you have not read Desire Map by Danielle LaPorte, I HIGHLY recommend it. After quite the year of ups and downs I decided to take her approach to resolutions.

Spend Time, Not Money
A few years ago, I wrote a post about Black Friday (found here). I hate Black Friday with a fiery passion, mainly because it brings out the worst in people. So this is another plea to you all, please spend time with your families this week don't plan your life around shopping. More importantly, please … Continue reading Spend Time, Not Money
I Hate When Gwenyth Paltrow is Right
Gwenyth Paltrow has always bothered me. She just comes off very pretentious. Every time I hear a quote from her I silently mock her in my head and probably make the faces of a 12 year old mocking their parent. Last year, she and Chris Martin decided to get a divorce, except she referred to it … Continue reading I Hate When Gwenyth Paltrow is Right
I HATE….hate
I've been MIA for awhile as life has been kind of crazy. Some good things some not so good things going on.

I've been reading Barbara Stanny's book Sacred Success and while I'm not finished with it, it has been eye-opening. Now that I've been immersed in the career world working for other people, I realize that it doesn't work for me.

Soul Food- Week One
While I am not a religious person by any means, I do believe we have some sort of driving force within us. Something that lights up when fed properly. I believe our souls are the most neglected part in our daily care. What I mean is that we often exercise, eat healthy, etc. to keep … Continue reading Soul Food- Week One
