    needy.

    Needy: being in want. I’ve been feeling pretty needy lately. Not ‘needy’ in a financial or physical sense. I mean, I recognize I’m not the wealthiest person in the world and my body is falling apart. But lately, I’ve been noticing my needs in other areas. Especially spiritual areas. Like just this week, when I…

    a few of my favorite things…

    I love a good personal recommendation. Something with no strings attached. Things like, “I love this product and I’m selling it too!” always make me just a leeeetle skeptical, ya know what I mean?

    March Goals 2014

    I have a love/hate relationship with these monthly goal check-ups. I love them because they keep me accountable. I mean, if I’m gonna put my goals out there for you to read, I really don’t want to come back a month later and be like, “nope. didn’t do ’em. i’m a failure.” Here are my…

    February Goals :: 2014

    It is with great fear & trepidation that I begin this post. Not really. But sometimes it’s nice to be dramatic. Makes life interesting. Anyway, I made this ridiculous goal to share my monthly goals with you and a little re-cap of how I did. Here are the goals I made for January: read 1…

    Liberty through Limitations :: why I’m limiting my facebook time

    When I posted my goals for January, I got several comments and questions about my facebook goal. The funny thing is – nobody asked my why I was limiting my facebook time to 15 minutes a day. They just asked me how. For the past few months, I’ve wanted to ‘cut back’ on my facebook time. There were…
