    Travel Wellbeing

    I'm not usually tired until I get home, but I -love- to travel. I do a lot of pre-planning though. I try and get a general idea of places to go and things to do, so when I adventure around, things have some familiarity.

    How to -not- undercut yourself

    I find it hard not to sell myself short because I don't want to come across as arrogant or full of myself. I also know it's important to display confidence. How do you display modesty to family members and business professionals without underselling your own value?

    Breaking Up Post Break Up

    I have an ex I'm still friends with...but we date when I was 16 (I'm in my 30s now), and we didn't talk much all through my 20s So, does that count? I think the hardest part about being friends with an ex is that they know parts about you that a friend may never know. They can push your buttons...

    How to keep your savings

    How do you actually motivate yourself to stay focused on maintaining those savings? There always seems to be a bill or an emergency that eats the money away before it ever reaches the savings account. :)

    Teaching English Online

    I did an interview for a similar position. How is it going? I found it difficult not to talk over their heads in the demo class I did. I often found I had to talk about 6th and 7th grade material with a 2nd grade vocabulary.

    The word “hygge”

    Fresh baked cookies, candles, and all that stuff in the snugly clothing magazines that you don't really believe people wear (but they do!), and those giant blankets that are knitted with their hands.

    Relationship "Rules"

    The 'Wife/Husband Card': The power of 'the card' can only be used once a month, but it's a hands down no argument agreement to the request the other person is making. We rarely use them, but we both know that when the other person 'does throw down a card' it means that this situation is very...

    Pets Can Contribute to Self-Help (w/ Pic)

    I -wish- this was the case for me right now! Haha! I have an new 11 week older boarder collie/Australian Shepard mix puppy. She's a blast, but boy is she a lot of work too! I like to say that I'm a glutton for punishment with a mix of those two breeds. As much of a headache that she is, having...

    Open Learning

    Their tag is 'Teach and Learn Online for Free'...and it's pretty true too. I used this for a class I was teaching awhile ago, but it's a great free tool that allows you to make online courses that students can work their way through. It's got places to do tests, quizzes, even little games to...

    Too much social media

    I've tried to use the social media networks for other things. Facebook can sometimes produce more information about a thing or a company than the Google Search engine does. I just use them all for different things. Do I need to know about something local? Facebook. How to do something or an idea...

    All of our heads are 'stuck in a grill'...

    Here is the link: Hawk Gets His Head Stuck in the Grill of a Car I saw this video a week or so back and I couldn't help but drive a parallel between my life sometimes and my poor feathered friend here in the video. You can hear the woman who's car the bird hit freaking out in the background...

    Having trouble reading for pleasure...

    I struggle here as well! My mind is always going, especially when it comes to business matters. It seems like many times I just can't turn it off. My husband always gives me a hard time for reading articles and other forms of literature, but it's been ages since I've actually sat down to read a...

    Here is the Story of My Amazing Memory

    Wow! That's impressive! And crazy! Do you remember other details of the day as well? Like conversations you've had or details about what they were wearing when you spoke to them?

    "Creativity takes courage."

    I remember seeing this quote pop up when I was working on something on Canva. I fell in love with Henri Matisse when I saw one of his paintings at the Met, so when this one popped up in the middle of trying to work something out that required a lot of 'out of the box' thinking, I just fell in...

    Asana: The list Website I can't live without

    I know that sounds like a shameless plug, but seriously, I use it every day for almost every major project I have. I'm a 'list' writer, and I have an easier time getting things done when I can prioritize what I'm doing and check them off when they are completed. It even gives me a warning to let...
