I’m not quick to admit this, but I actually make mistakes all the time. Blame it on poor judgment, clumsiness, exhaustion, whatever. And, I’m not really sure if this a perfectionist thing or just a human thing, but I’m also very aware of these mistakes, which, I think, is far worse than making the mistakes in … Continue reading »
Stay Encouraged
I have to say that I really love the support I get for this blog – especially when I haven’t written for a couple of weeks or so. It really keeps my going, and I’m so appreciative. So with that said, my topic today is extremely fitting. In my last post, I had just landed … Continue reading »
Everything Happens For A Reason
The last few weeks have been quite the roller coaster. From job interviews to rush writing assignments to potty training a new puppy, I’ve barely had a second for myself to just relax. Fortunately, a lot of good has come out of these last few weeks as well. On top of bringing home that aforementioned … Continue reading »
Don’t Panic: How To Keep Perspective
I’ve been embarrassingly consumed by all the things I don’t have, lately. I guess when you spend your days looking for a job, you can’t help but constantly think about how unemployed (and broke) you really are.

It’s the kind of job that will never satisfy … Continue reading »
The Comfort Zone

Because the next couple weeks are going to be insane with wedding details. In this … Continue reading »
Me > Stress
I can’t recall a single time that stress has solved my problems. Not once has stress offered to pay my bills or plan my wedding. Instead it just hangs around urgently reminding me of things that need to be done, yet insisting that there’s always tomorrow. Stress is like having your miserable single friend, your … Continue reading »
Lessons in Courage
It’s raining here in the Bay Area. So that, coupled with a bad case of the Mondays, is making it a little more difficult than usual to get going. But here I am! I’ve been thinking an awful lot about courage in the past week. Among my siblings–and perhaps my friends too–I’ve always been the … Continue reading »
Fake It ’til You Make It
Is anyone ever really sure of themselves? I mean, people do pretty amazing things all the time. Do you think they knew all along it was going to happen? Or that it was even possible? Or that they wouldn’t fail? I often find peace of mind by assuming everyone is uneasy. I like to believe … Continue reading »
