discovering who I really am in the midst of a chaotic world
Louise Belcher is my spirit animal. A conversation I had with a close friend earlier today - Me: I don't understand why people are so into her. Nothing she says is earth-shattering. Why are people wowed by her "wisdom?" Friend: To be fair, these are the same people who think mayonnaise is spicy. So I …
Grissom with a beard > Grissom clean shaven. 😉 For the past few weeks, I've been going through CSI on Netflix. It's a show I've always enjoyed but I never watched all the way through. It definitely piques my medical examiner interest as well. I find myself trying to guess cause of death before Dr. …
About a month ago, I mentioned this idea I had - 35 goals for my 35th year. I sat down & came up with 20 (so far). I figured I'll add more as things come to me. But for now? I have a good list of things to work on. 🙂 Some of the items …
A long time ago, when I was probably 5-6 years old, my family & I were visiting my grandparents in Charlotte. My grandpa, my dad, my brother, & I went to this park to help combat boredom. Here's an important detail you need to know: my brother (SA) is 5 years older than me & …
As I was getting ready this morning, I was remembering previous birthdays. For some reason, my 15th stood out in my mind. I remember getting some Marvin the Martian stuff (I was crazy about him). A shirt, a clicky-top pen, & a sterling silver necklace. Nothing you'd write home about but I was over the …
I was raised by Jewish & Christian parents. As an adult, I find myself somewhere in between. I guess I would consider myself to be a Messianic Jew or a Reformed Messianic Jew. I don't know. I'm not a fan of labels. My point being that I find myself lately curious & leaning towards some …
Hmm...maybe I should do something like this? I was thinking of 35 Goals for My 35th Year. Also, how cute is Hannah? Love her! 31 Things About Being 31 - Hannah Hart
After reviewing some of my goals & then reading & feeling inspired by others' financial goals, I decided to do a No Spend month. "Umm...what?" Let me explain - For the month of November, I'm not spending any additional money on anything frivolous. I pay the bills, get some groceries, but I don't spend money on anything …
Something I've come to realize lately is that I'm not a fan of labels. "I'm a pansexual." "I'm a Democrat." "I'm a Buddhist." Why do we label ourselves anyway? Who is benefiting from this? Once we label ourselves, aren't we just naming our limitations? I heard recently that labels aren't for our benefit but for …
I grew up as a staunch Republican. My parents & brother were Republicans. Our friends were Republican. My extended family was split between Republican & Democrat. Oh, trust me. It was WELL-KNOWN in our house how WRONG the Democrats were. *eye roll* But as I grew older & did my own research, I found myself …
