November is the month that really makes me think about what I’m thankful for, which is why I decided to write down a list of “30 things I’m grateful for” – one for every day of the month. I mean, I love the month of October, because it’s the month I got married. And I love the month of December, because it’s the month we celebrate Christmas. But I think November gets a bad wrap. Not only is it the month of Thanksgiving, but everyone dreads the weight gain from all the food between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and people can get downright mean […]
11 Habits of Successful Women
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not always good at maintaining good habits, but with all of the successful women I know, especially those female bloggers that I follow and admire, I find inspiration in their success.

Then I found Mary Kendall Butler’s list, and I liked that she put “unsubscribe here” and […]
Jobs I Want To Try Some Day
What is your dream job? What job would you like to try, if only for one day? Do you love your job, but wish you could do something else as well? Let me start today’s post by saying that I really enjoy my job as a Registered Medical Assistant. I enjoy those I work with, and I enjoy the job in general. I’ve been a Medical Assistant since 2002. I guess you could say that it is now more than a job… it’s a career. That being said, I still think of myself as that awkward 20-something young lady, fresh […]
42 Habits to Make Yourself Better
Some mornings, I wake up and feel like I’m not not living up to my potential, like there is something more that I could be doing to make myself a better person. I’ve read stories from actors or actresses, musicians, and writers who have felt their calling their entire lives. But like most people, I’m still trying to figure it out. So how can we, or to personalize it, how can I make myself better? Read a book every day. Wake up early. Acknowledge your flaws. Avoid negative people. Stop watching TV.
