Damn I’m Proud
With this question a year ago, I reflected on how I should feel proud of myself but I just couldn’t. The anger of all that I had been through lately was keeping me from feeling something positive about myself. That has changed. And funnily enough, I just became aware of what makes me proud of… →

A Good Life
What principles define how you live? How I live. I suppose I could say I live within my means. That’s a good principle to have. That has a lot more to it though. What is truly living within your means? My bills are paid. But at the same time, I’ve spent a lot of money… →

Whateva, I Do What I Want
When was the first time you ever felt like a grown up (if ever)? I forgot that this prompt is a repeat and that I answered it on this day last year. Looking back, my answer is still the same. This is what I wrote then: I put question marks after “grown up” in the… →

People Need to Know
What’s something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail. The first thing that comes to mind is writing a book. But the thing is, I’m already attempting it. And while there is no guarantee that I won’t fail, I’m doing it anyway. In fact, I know I’m going to “fail” in that… →

Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye
What details of your life could you pay more attention to? It’s interesting that this question came up today. I know exactly what details I could pay more attention to. And that is simply, how I feel. I talk a lot about how I’m much more on top of my mental health now than I… →

Just a Job
List three jobs you’d consider pursuing if money didn’t matter. It’s awfully bold of WordPress to assume that if money didn’t matter, I would consider pursuing a job at all, much less three. Why would I work if I don’t have to? Isn’t that what volunteering is all about? Which, I’m pretty sure we’ve been… →

Beauty in an Unlikely Place
What could you do more of? Right now, sitting on the couch during my lunch break with my dogs curled up on either side of me, I would say I could take more time off. I would much rather be at home than at work. With that said, I could do more saving of my… →

The Soundtrack of My Life
What would your life be like without music? My life without music would not be the same. Music heals, music saves. Music is what got me through the huge change in my life last year. When I decided to quit my toxic job and the trauma that made me ultimately leave, it was music that… →
