It's easy to set goals. It's easy to think of a plan. The hard part...continuing down the road towards your goal and getting to the finish line. Some of us have goals to get a promotion, some have a goal to lose weight, or to gain muscle mass, while others are looking to start a ...
The Dog days of Summer
We sweat. We sweat some more. We love the warmth of the sun on our faces, and then we say...ok that's enough. We start craving the crisp fall air by the time August is heading our way. Is the grass ever green enough? The dog days of summer... they get rough. But I've always learned, that ...
Captive Heat Wave Audience
As the heat wave hit NYC and surrounding areas, many of us were stuck indoors, hoping our AC and fans kept us comfortable and the power remained on. We kept our devices charged, and got ready to camp in for the weekend. Those who did venture out, quickly regretted it. It was the perfect weekend ...
Friends in the 90s
Who didn't love this show? I did hear that Netflix will be removing it from it's catalog come January ... worst news ever. However, it's a show that can make you laugh, relax, and just forget about the days worries with a little 30 minutes of our favorite friends. And don't forget the bloopers! One of ...
Little bits of comfort
We all have them. It could be a pen, a necklace, an old stuffed animal, or even a movie. Little bits of comfort that make us feel either at home, calmer, and/or just comforted. It's helpful to have these things, especially in our most stressful environments - such as work. And sometimes it's nice to ...
Just another lyric
Ever notice how one line from a song (or poem) can tug on your heart strings. It reminds you of something past, or something you once had. It could make you smile, or nostalgic, and perhaps even hopeful of something to come. Every time I hear the song "here's to the night" by Eve 6, ...
Do you own enough books?
One of my favorite things to do on a relaxing day is go to a bookstore and peruse the newest fiction books, especially the thrillers and suspense novels. Typically I'll walk out with one new book, especially to support the local book retailers despite being able to buy online for cheaper. It would be a ...
Another year younger, another year wiser
When you're past your mid twenties, time just continues to fly faster and faster, with each passing year. It's both a blessing and a curse in my opinion. In your 30s, it's like lightning speed (at least it seems that way, so far). With my next birthday literally around the corner I can't but reflect ...
Is vacation a choice?
More and more often I see folks denying themselves their paid vacation time, especially the younger folks. And there are others who go on vacation but log on each day, and basically work, just from another location. Does this sound right? No, no, and no. Reasons I've heard and felt myself at times for not going ...
Too many decisions
Have your realized that the older (...wiser) we get, the more decisions we have to make on a regular basis. The more things that end up on our to do list. The busier our evenings become. And all of a sudden, it's Monday again. How did that happen? It was so much simpler when the decisions ...
