Of Joys, and Pains, and Blessings
I don't even know where to start counting my blessings for 2017. Although I haven't had much of material things to boast, graces and blessings abound in terms of family, love, friends, and personal and emotional growth. This year gave me a number of reasons to say that life is indeed beautiful despite all its imperfections.

Day 1 - Finding Your Life Purpose
“Today is the first day of rest of your life” Charles Dederich. We start day 1 with Mr. Dederich’s quote purely because I do believe this is the first day of your real and designed life. And no – you don’t need to believe in a God, the Universe or fairies to read or participate in this course. Your beliefs are your own, and you can use them to help you on your exploration of self-discovery anyway you want.

Let It Go
In a clouded mental space due to a collection of overwhelmingly draining processes like overthinking, overworking, excessive self doubt, and continued little prickly stabs of everyday inconveniences; breathing seems nonexistent. Having a easy day is rare and you become this cynical mess of inner destruction.

New Year to Be Who You Really Want to Be
First let me start by saying Happy New Year! It's been one hell of a year for a lot of us and we've made it through. Barely, but we've made it right? We don't want to get into 2018 with a list of regrets from things that we did or didn't do in the past 365 days. We all had our issues with stuff this year. Different debates and changes that we had no control over. Some of us have dealt with death over and over again this year. I know that I don't want to roll into another year with the same struggles of these past moments in life.

Goodbye 2017, Hello 2018
Everyone has New Year's resolutions. Most of the time, their resolution is never achieved, or they give up in a month or two. I have failed my resolutions for 2017. I wanted to lose weight, have a steady job, and have my own home. Yeah, the big dream I am sure many people out there want, as well. The problem is that, when we don't succeed at these goals, we tend to focus on the failure rather than the lessons we have learned during the struggle.

Learning Who I Am
I've been looking back at 2017 as it ends, and I can see how big the year was. I started the year out on vacation with my husband in Colorado Springs. We went to the top of Pikes Peak for New Years Day. I couldn't have known just how symbolic that was going to be.

What to Do in 2018!
2018 is at the doorstep (or already here, depending on when you read this), but what will you do to make the year count? You've thought about it, but then also thought about what's for lunch...and then Nom Nom Nom. It seems silly to waste another year with the same old same old. Let me introduce you to some MEGA-awesome things to learn OR do to make 2018 feel like an achievement!

Auld Lang Sigh
The conclusion of each year brings about reflection over the events of the introduction and body, as well as speculation over the approaching year. Many of us resolve to lose weight, make more money, or re-invent our personal or professional lives in some other way. Nevertheless, too often, many of us bid the year farewell in the same exact position as we greeted it.

5 Things You Don't Have to Do by 25
There seems to be a lot of pressure put on people in this world to do great things in their lives. Perhaps it is because we have such endless access to information. Perhaps it is because the world desperately needs great people. Or perhaps we all just want to be remembered for something when our lives come to a close.

You Aren't Drowning, You're Learning
I've been there. I've been there lots of times, and it isn't fun. You have, too. You know what it's like to be doing everything you absolutely can and being just short of being enough. Like you are standing in an empty room with nothing but four walls and being asked to build a world with your bare hands. You're screaming for help in a world where the population is one. You're sitting in your car grasping the steering wheel wondering if it'd be easier to drive off a cliff. It feels like your God put in his two-week notice six months ago. Maybe it feels like you're running a race that's designed in a circle that goes round and round, and there is no prize at the finish line. Maybe not literally, but it feels like it.
