Hello and welcome to my complicated world! You can call me Elle. I’m a whimsical, unique, caring, slightly introverted and charismatic, and somewhat animated type of person with versatile interests. There’s so many sides to me you would think I that I was a Gemini. Lol. 🙂 I’m also a former college grad that seems to get a little lost in the world. I’ve been a student majority of my whole life, and I’m finally starting a new chapter. To be honest college was not a breeze for me. It took way over 4 years for me to graduate, and it took over two years before I got my masters. It feels so weird not referring to myself as a student anymore. Now I’m starting a new chapter in life. I started this blog because I know there’s others like me, and I want to let them know that they’re not alone. It’s hard feeling lost at this age, but I am determined to make it. As the saying goes: “I just gotta make it!”
Last Summer I told myself to start celebrating the small things in life, and for awhile I did. Every small accomplishment or small task completed I would write it down and celebrate it. To most people it probably wouldn’t be a big deal but focusing on those small accomplishments got me through the second half … More Celebrate EVERY Small Victory and Happy Moment!
One thing that I tend to enjoy is listening to inspiring stories from people who started from the bottom. When I hear great success stories from people who started out with nothing but a dream, it lets me know that it’s possible. Sometimes when we are in the midst of our journey we start … More Timing vs X-Factor (Pursuing Your Dreams)
Last month I officially finished my free HarvardX course on edX. It’s been a few years now since I finished grad school and I just wanted to see how it felt to be in class again. Someone told me about the free classes that was going on during this time, and I thought why … More I Completed a Free Harvard Course. (My thoughts)
Today I’ve been thinking a lot about my anxiety and how I often go into what I call “panic mode” when something unexpected happens. Lately I’ve been doing a lot better when it comes to my anxiety. It feels like I been on autopilot since the end of November last year. I kind of … More Say the Words: Everything is going to be okay!
Today (January 16, 2021) I came up with the idea to let fate decide what I do for a week. I wanted to do this experiment because I am so indecisive. I tend to go back and forth on a lot of things so much that I end up not doing anything (especially when it … More Letting Fate Decide What I Do for a Week.

        I’m finally reading an old book that I have had on my shelf for a very long time. I’ve been meaning to read it, but I always end up either reading something else, or just being busy doing something else. The book is Your Best Life Now: 7 steps to living at your full … More Being True to You and Celebrating your Uniqueness
In yesterday’s article I mentioned that I was currently reading Manifesting Millions: Convert Fantasy to Reality, and I pointed out a couple of tips that I wanted to add into my daily routine. I ended up finishing the book before I went to bed last night and I thought I would share a few more … More Manifesting and Reprogramming (Pt 2)
I’ve been thinking a lot about retraining my mind. I’ve already completed my affirmations challenge for the month of January. I was never consistent with saying affirmations every day, but I made it a priority to say them everyday this month and I actually finished it. Before I never even made it a week before … More Manifesting and Reprogramming (Pt 1)
Recently I read Declutter Your Mind: How to Stop Worrying, Relieve Anxiety, and Eliminate Negative Thinking. It was a good read. What surprised me the most, was the fact that most of things the book suggested I already do. Some things I’ve been doing since the summer of last year, and other things I’ve added … More Declutter Your Mind!
Lately I’ve been in my head a lot. I don’t know why, but it feels like I constantly compare myself to others. In a previous post, I wrote about comparing ourselves and how we shouldn’t do it. I understand that our journey is our own. It’s unique to us. I get that and understand it, … More We are all in Our Own Lanes. (Our Journey is Unique)
