Once I get my registration approved (hello, administrators!) I look forward to connecting with the other 20-somethings, and sharing what I have learned, and getting some camaraderie with others feeling the way I do.

I think this comic's about me…

Unfinished Business

Are you one of those people who doesn’t want to set an idea or project free in the world until it’s finished? And by finished, I mean polished and perfected to the point that if someone were to uncover a flaw, you would already have discovered it, analyzed it and be able to defend why [...]

What bugs me about Oprah's great picks

Oprah’s done a number of wonderful and fantastic things for women in America. I remember watching her show as a youngster, thinking “Wow, she’s going somewhere!” And now, she IS somewhere, as an icon in the media world. She brought book groups and reading back to the countryside, as well as personal development. Her focus [...]

It looks like the last time I updated my blog was something about waiting for your life to begin. Well, I wish I could say that I haven’t updated in a while because I’ve been out living my life. The simpler truth is that I’ve not updated because I’ve been quite busy working. Well, that’s [...]

“We are always getting ready to live, but never living.” – Ralph Waldom Emerson
When I found this quote recently, I found the truth in it. I’ve spent many a day planning for when my life would begin. At work, I’m going to write that press release after I just answer a few more emails. I’m [...]

I recently got this forward from my mom, and thought it was worth sharing and saving:
A lecturer when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked   ”How heavy is this glass of water?”
Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g. The lecturer replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t mattter.  It depends how [...]

Person Soup

I haven’t felt much like myself lately. I’ve felt disconnected, lost, and overwhelmed. Sometimes I feel like maybe I feel more than other people – not in a bipolar way, but more in the sense that when I need a release, I really need the release. When I get hurt, I really get hurt. And [...]

A "Steal"?

I started getting the Oprah newsletter a few weeks ago. I like it because it’s not the same content every day – it varies from fashion to self-help to fitness and beyond. But I have found one little thing that’s been driving me nuts. On their affordable fashion, they list 3 price levels: steal, good [...]
