I don\’t exactly know when the idea occurred to me that I may actually be able to achieve something more in my life than what I thought possible. I think part of it has come from my awesome therapist who pushes me outside of my comfort zone and encourages me to explore things I never …
I\’m really bad at sticking to things. It\’s a little weird, because I obviously have some kind of will and drive or I wouldn\’t have been able to get through graduate school, but for some reason, on my own time, I have a VERY hard time actually sticking to something. But it\’s lent. So there\’s …
Everyday I star items in my Google reader to go back to and spend more time on. Many times they\’re recipes or pictures I want to pin or add to my excel spreadsheet of ideas. Occasionally, a post will stay on there because I know I want to delve into it more deeply. On December …
Several of my friends have done a version of a \”365 photo project\” which entails taking one picture everyday for one year and posting it in a special album. Now the first time I saw one of my friends do it I immediately thought….I could never do that. I would forget, I wouldn\’t put it …

Merry Christmas Eve! I have to say, I did not intend to still be on my prayer on Christmas Eve, I\’m about a month later than I anticipated, but everything happens for a reason and some of the things I\’ve been dealing with in my personal life have been applicable to the recent entries. Maybe …
