When I was a little girl I use to go to the library and check out a ton of travel books. It … More I Miss Traveling (Dreaming of Future Travels)
I’m going to end the “ideal” series with my ideal proposal. I hear about this topic a lot, and I also hear guys always ask for ideas. They don’t know if it should be creative, grand, or intimate. There’s really no wrong or right answer, because everyone is different. You have to really know your … More My Ideal Proposal
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about all the things that I need to work on, and one of the biggest hurdles that I need to tackle is self-discipline.

        I was watching a compilation video of inspiring words and wisdom. In the video Will Smith mentioned that some people are talented, and some people are really skilled. Talented people are naturally gifted and born with a special ability or skill. Then you have people who are really skilled, who practiced a particular skill … More Talent vs Skill (Were you born with a talent? Or did you learn a skill?)
A week ago, I made it past 100 days in my daily task notebook. In a couple previous posts, I mentioned how I was going to stop setting goals and writing up plans. “No Expectations” was my motto for the summer.
