I hit a big personal milestone this past weekend. To me, it’s so surreal. I was never a runner and still struggle to identify myself as a ‘runner.’ But a little over five years ago, I made a New Year’s Resolution to start running and it actually worked.
This month wasn’t as productive as last month in terms of reading, but I still managed to get in 3 books. (Well, technically, two and a half.)
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about my career, my passions, and my long-term goals and sometimes it feels like I’m all over the place. I’m somehow interested in everything and nothing. It made me remember one of my favorite TED Talks ever.
With temperatures heating up in Florida, I beginning to feel the itch to do a deep spring cleaning of my house. I’m talking everything— the closets, the junk drawer, the pantry, that weird cabinet by the front door I never open (and who knows what’s in it?!). So, to make sure I don’t give up after one closet, I’ve compiled a list of inspiration to keep myself going.
Let me just start off this post by saying, I’ve never really been that big into Valentine’s Day. I enjoy a pack of candy hearts, but I’m not really into gift giving for this holiday. My love language definitely tends to lean more toward quality time so that’s where I put my focus.
To help encourage myself to read more and remember what I’ve read, I’m starting a new monthly post. Each month I’ll share what I read and my honest thoughts about it.
First up, ‘A Gentleman in Moscow’ by Amor Towles.
So, just like everyone else in the world, after watching ‘The Witcher’ on Netflix, I am totally obsessed and need to know what happens next.
As someone that dreams of writing a book (or several), I always seem to find myself coming up with excuses for why I can’t write or why what I’ve written isn’t good enough. But, in the past year, I found myself overcoming at least some of these hurdles and managed to get down 23,000 words on a novel I’m working on. Some of that was just sitting in a chair and putting in the work, but I believe a big part was finding the right inspiration.
Fair warning, I’m a huge Aldi fan. So, after passing the Lacura skin care products countless times, curiosity finally got the better of me and I had to try them out for myself.
I like to work out at home. I don’t like paying for a gym membership. This is where YouTube really saves the day. With many people making fitness-related New Year’s resolutions (myself included), I wanted to share some of my absolute favorite at home, no-equipment workout videos.
