This past week has truly been a shock to the system, so I thought we needed some inspiration this Sunday. I tossed and turned in bed on Election night, not really sure how to feel about the results as they came in. So I began to think , “What do I truly want in my life?” That’s a question that many of us are asking right now, especially after this election. Thinking about our goals and dreams, from this day forward, will help us to remain focused on what we truly want in our life. Writing down your goals and dreams may increase your productivity and create inspiration […]
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. Would I love to have as many followers and/or readers as those successful female bloggers I follow? Sure. I find these women inspiring! I love that they hustle and challenge themselves.

Live Every Day Like Elle Woods
Legally Blonde may have come out in 2001, but the lesson I learned from that movie is timeless. It’s also a lesson that I think every woman should live by. What lesson is that, Vanessa?

How to Be a Woman Who is Winning
On Sundays, I like to sit on the front porch wrapped in a blanket, with a large cup of hot chocolate, and watch the cows mosey around in the field across from my house. (Yes, I live in the country.) It’s during this quiet time that I think about not only my Sunday, or what I’m going to accomplish today, but about what exciting and new things that my upcoming week holds for me. Last night when I was pinning, I found this quote and for some reason, it really hit home for me. It really made me think about the kind of […]
Sunday Inspiration: Wrong Questions vs. Right Questions
Being a #BossBabe is a state of mind and a philosophy I find encouraging. I try to follow a #BossBabe kind of life, especially when it comes to my blog, which is why, when I saw this quote, I decided to modify my thinking about what questions I’m asking myself. Am I asking myself the wrong questions or the right questions? Image borrowed from #BossBabe Wrong Questions: What will they think? What will make them happy? Why can’t I have it? These questions put all of your eggs in someone else’s basket. It’s as if your life, your future, your […]
