The last few weeks I've been having an ongoing, complex, internal conversation with myself that just won't end. I have no idea what I want to do with my life. The ideas I had and the goals I set just don't seem right anymore. Ever since I graduated in June I've been feeling a bit… Continue reading Lost and exploring

2019 GOALS
With the year coming to an end it's time to set new goals for 2019. I set goals, not resolutions because I believe that goals are much more effective. 2019 will be a year that I am not in graduate school, it will be a year that we are not doing huge home renovations rendering… Continue reading 2019 GOALS
2018
As the year comes to a close I am looking back at all of the things that have happened, many of which were extremely exciting! As the months passed by the year seemed to get better and better.

The girl in the green shorts
I've always been the kind of person who thrives when I am focused on my goals, focused without distractions. For me success comes from within, when I dig deep inside my soul and ask myself, "What do I want more than anything else in the world?" I ask myself this question often. Over the years… Continue reading The girl in the green shorts
New Year, New Goals
In the past I've written about setting goals rather than resolutions because I think setting a properly structured goal is much more effective than just resolving to do something, or not do something. Though I don't think goals, or resolutions if you prefer that term, need to be set on January 1st the 1st of… Continue reading New Year, New Goals
Choose not to settle
Going to graduate school was a personal choice. Doing a research project and writing a thesis was another personal choice. I did these things to find permanent happiness in my life. I did these things so that I would one day have a career that I loved. I did these things so that I would no longer… Continue reading Choose not to settle

February Recap: Miles run & things I have done
Summary: I decided to tackle a lot things in February, specifically in the running category. I stumbled a little mid month and ended up taking a lot of days off in a row.

February Goals
January is ending and I haven't accomplished a whole lot of things. I was sick for most of the month and I had a lot of things going on. I don't like ending a month and feeling like I didn't accomplish much, especially with running. So, its time to set some goals for February. Running… Continue reading February Goals
