What's Your Sign?

We’re on the tail end of what’s been dubbed “engagement” season. Many of you, I’m sure are now excitedly making preliminary plans for your special day. Your wedding signs make a great impression when your guests arrive on your big day. What will your signs say? What types of sign will you have? Will they be printed or lettered? Signs […]

Vision 18

Happy New Year! Part of me can’t believe that I’m writing this post. The other part of me is just thrilled that 2017 is over. Anyone else feel like it was an intense year? I’m currently working on my latest set of Powersheets. They’re better than ever, and I feel like my goals are more focused this year. If you […]

Reflecting on 2017

The table’s been cleared. Everyone (but ME!) is tucked in bed. Christmas day is over. Now, my attention has shifted to 2018  and all the things I want to improve in the new year. Before I jump into my goals, I want to truly take time to reflect on the paths I traveled in 2017. This year transformed me in […]

Inspired Retreat

My story of actually getting to the Inspired Retreat is a long one. I felt a calling to attend in April, but I had no clue how it would happen. Still, I stalked the site regularly to make sure it hadn’t sold out. Thankfully, I was able to purchase my ticket in July, and I’ve been excited ever since… I’ve […]

Forty by Forty

I may just be in love with the idea of goal setting… Maybe. Years ago when my blog was on blogspot, I created a 30 by 30 list of things I wanted to do before I turned 30. In thinking about this list earlier this year, I decided to write a 40 by 40 list. I created this list a […]

Getting Social at BarTaco

Yesterday, I fussed at my friends about never taking me to BarTaco before. Their response? I’m funny about Mexican food. Welp. Someone had to be honest. My friends used to accommodate me by going to La Parrilla because they were the only Mexican restaurant that served wings. (And they’re wings are delicious!) I probably ate my first taco three years […]

Goal Digger

Have you given up on your goals yet? I hope not, friend! If you’ve stuck with me for a while, you know I tried Lara Casey’s  PowerSheets for the first time last year. Although I didn’t keep up with tracking my progress on the blog, I used them religiously. There wasn’t a month I skipped, and I can look back […]

JCT Kitchen + Bar

JCT Kitchen + Bar is one of my favorite restaurants in town. Tucked away in the Westside Provisions District near the railroad tracks,  JCT Kitchen offers a southern menu with local and seasonal ingredients. The first time I dined there it was with my mom. We ordered the chicken skins as an appetizer (a serious guilty pleasure). My mom ordered a […]

A Teacher's Shower

No shower is an easy feat. Planning one for a colleague has the potential to be stressful, but the opportunity to take lead on the latest shower at my school has taught me a few things that I’d love to share with you for your school or office. Use the resources you have! The above board is one that’s in my classroom. […]

Summer Reflection

As we end the traditional summer travel season, I think back to my last trip of summer. Daytona Beach is like a second home to me because it is where much of my mother’s family lives. This time around I wanted to enjoy being a tourist and trying some places I haven’t been before. We were only there a couple […]
