This is a term I've come up with for myself, and it's something I'm starting to really love. As I was researching in making sure this wasn't anything else to avoid confusion, I came across the 75 Hard and the 75 Soft. Those refer to following certain health plans for 75 days to help your … Continue reading Soft Days

Allow Room for Growth
Growth, progress, and change are all topics I talk about often on here. Today, I want to approach this topic in a different manner. Not only do we have to be willing to grow, we also have to allow room for growth. Plants can't grow if there's no room. In the same way, you can't … Continue reading Allow Room for Growth
The History of Presidents’ Day
Here in the United States, yesterday was Presidents' Day. We honor a few American presidents because their birthdays were in February. Over time, it has expanded to a day off for certain groups of people and big sales from stores. I want to give a history of the holiday, and why we celebrate a day … Continue reading The History of Presidents’ Day
Small Steps, Big Changes
The new year is in full swing. I'm working on the goals I've implemented for myself this year. I'm creating and improving routines so that I can make this year better for myself overall. However, I am changing my approach this year as opposed to in years past. Normally, I set myself up for failure … Continue reading Small Steps, Big Changes
Goals for 2024
Happy New Year! 2023 is officially done and we are starting 2024! This is the time for new ideas, goals, and resolutions. I've mentioned on here a number of times how I feel resolutions aren't things you plan to keep. You make them only to break them or ignore them when times get hard. For … Continue reading Goals for 2024

Challenge Your Thoughts
As the year wraps up to a close, I'm spending time to review and reflect some of the things I've learned this year and lessons I'll take with me to the future. I'll do this more in-depth next week as I wrap up the year in a whole. But I want to take today to … Continue reading Challenge Your Thoughts
Changing Course
Did you know that ships plot a course even before they leave port? They know the routes they're going to take. But sometimes it's necessary to change course. Life throws curveballs. Things don't work out. Passions, hobbies, and interests change. That's okay. Sometimes you as a person need to change course too. What's really cool, … Continue reading Changing Course
Projects
This year has and continues to be a lot. There are so many things always going on in my life. Some I talk about, and some I keep to myself. Some take a day and some take almost all year. I've also spent a lot of time this year working on goals. Some of the … Continue reading Projects
Put On Your Own Oxygen Mask First
If you've ever been on a plane, you've probably heard the title of today's blog. "In the event of an emergency, please put on your own oxygen mask before helping others with theirs." That sentence isn't just good for planes, but it's also good for life as well. I don't like to make assumptions, but … Continue reading Put On Your Own Oxygen Mask First
