The Value of Patience

This is a largely theoretical post, because I have none. I mean, maybe not none, but it’s a real problem. It’s a problem when I rush people because they don’t make decisions or understand things as fast as I do. Which is funny, cause there are definitely times I’m indecisive and don’t understand things, and…

The Fine Art of Sabotaging Yourself

Sometimes I think one of the biggest things affecting my day to day happiness is a hybrid combination of procrastination and laziness. I’m also not sure if it’s from being a millennial or years of cruise ship and touring life. As a millennial, I think we’re kind of avoiders. I am totally speaking for myself,…

My Biggest Productivity Buster: Clutter

My Biggest Productivity Buster: Clutter

Guys, I am drowning in clutter right now and it has reminded me how much trouble I have concentrating and getting anything done when my life is a mess. I recently moved out of the RV I’ve been living in with the circus and back into my parents’ house for the next few months and…

Bracing for the Terrible

2014 was easily the worst year of my life. I moved back to the tristate area to be around my grandmother for her last few months. I worked a job I hated and was terrible at. I broke up with a long term boyfriend. I honestly spent most of the year on the verge of…

3 Golden Rules to Healthy Finances

Staying on top of your financial situation isn’t always easy – and many people before you have gone from healthy to poor finances faster than they’d like to admit. All it takes is a few unexpected expenses, really, a few days of reckless spending, or simply ignoring your bank account for a couple of weeks.…

What Truly Makes A Car So Dangerous?

On average, there are around 6 million traffic accidents each year in the US. About a sixth of these result in fatalities, and someone else’s property is almost always damaged, showing the risks which can come with this part of life. Of course, though, after years of driving safely and without any issues, it’s understandable…

The Cluttered Life

I think I am somewhat of a minimalist – it comes with living in boats, trains, and hotels. Moving into an RV was pretty easy after that. It’s even taken me most of a year to really decorate and feel moved in. I’m easily affected by clutter. I just had a crazy week at work…

I Can’t Get No Motivation

I’m dealing with some intense rat on a wheel syndrome guys. I’ve spent 6 weeks this summer working from home with the freedom to do what I want as long as I was hitting the deadlines for the stuff I needed to do. Then my mom’s cancer relapse has had me at home for 3…

The Perfect Day

I was reading a featured article over at Rockstar Finance lately that was a snapshot of that blogger’s idea of living with intention. And that day sounded just generally… perfect. Like, I was crazy jealous of the idea that this could be someone’s life but I have never really tried to make that my life.…

When Things Don’t Go According to Plan

When Things Don’t Go According to Plan

My brother and I were chatting on a recent car ride about how crazy the curveballs that life throws you can be. I sort of joked that I hadn’t really had a life plan since I was 23 and I’ve mostly been winging it since then. He pointed out that it’s best to never get…

Money Can’t Buy Me…

Other than the obvious, I’ve been thinking a little about how money can’t actually buy a lot of things. Money can buy me a Rosetta Stone (and man are they pricey) but it can’t make me sit at my computer 30 minutes a day for 6 months, doing all the lessons. Money can buy me…
