“If You Stay Ready, You Ain’t Gotta Get Ready”

Y'all will have to excuse me for a moment. I watched the Samsung/Jay-Z commercial last night and got all types of excited. First of all, they had a 3 minute commercial during the NBA Finals. You know how much a 3-minute commercial costs at ANY time of year, let alone during the Finals? THEN they announced the deal: 1 million albums given FREE to Samsung Galaxy owners. I'm #TeamiPhone all day but I … [Continue reading...]

GoalDiggin’: My Goals For May 2013

I've got to admit - I've been in a bit of a funk that past couple months. I think the weather has a lot to do with it. When it's gloomy and wet and cold outside, you tend to spend a lot of time indoors, staring at the same four walls all day. It drove me bonkers. But now that spring is officially here I'm feeling better. I've got a pep in my step, I'm smiling more and I feel on top of … [Continue reading...]

Goal Diggin’: My Goals For March 2013

I didn't post any goals for February because it was pretty much just a month of confusion. Trying to adjust to new clients, increased volunteering at my daughter's school, family time, and my daughter's recent food allergy flare-ups—I haven't felt on top of my game enough to really put goals down on paper. But I hope March will be different, so I'm posting them here for accountability's … [Continue reading...]

GoalDiggin’: My Goals For January 2013

I'm a bit late with this post because one of my main goals was getting the new site up and running! Now that it's checked off my list (see my announcement here) I can focus a bit on other projects! Let's see how I did in December:  Finish the second article for my thesis (yes, my advisor wants me to write 2 articles. Every other grad student only writes one. Gah!) Nope, haven't even … [Continue reading...]

2013: The Year Of Abundance

Each year, I pick a word that will drive me for the next 364 days. In 2011, my word was "focus." In 2012, I chose "purpose." This year, "abundance" is the word I'm sticking with. I chose abundance for several reasons. One, as a freelancer/self-employed person, it is very easy to get discouraged, sometimes on a weekly basis. Checks are late, deadlines are short and bills pile high. I wanted to … [Continue reading...]

#GoalDiggin’: Goals for December 2012

I did a pretty good job on my November goals. I did increase traffic on the blog, I managed to pump out two posts a day most days, and I am a couple weeks away from pushing the new site live, although I might wait until January 1 to make it "perfect." (Ha!!) I'm still looking for a new, regular writing gig but now that the monster of a thesis is almost complete, it will make it easier for me to … [Continue reading...]
