Earth Week


I recently realized that even though I consider a small part of myself to be a tree hugging hippie, I don’t even recycle!  When I realized what I was doing it really upset me because it really doesn’t take any extra effort to recycle.  Why can I be so lazy and oblivious?  So, I’m really excited that this week is Earth Week because it’s given me a reason to find more Earth friendly habits to adopt. 
  1. Conserve water by turning off the water while I’m washing my dishes, as opposed to just letting it run.
  2. Continue to make my own cleaning products.
  3. Plant another tomato plant this year.  Last year I planted too many plants in too small a pot and they suffocated each other.  This year, I’m hoping for a better outcome.
  4. Recycle! (Obviously)
  5. Eat less meat, and more veggies.

Happy April Fools' Day!

I'm not a very creative person, and have never come up with something truly funny to do to my friends, family, or any roommates I've had over the years.  Maybe one day I'll be able to put some of the ideas below to good use.  Until then... these are just amusing.

There is No Gain Without Struggle

We all struggle with something.  In our moments of struggle, it's impossible to think that other people could possibly be feeling the same hurt, frustration, and loneliness we are.  Remember you are not alone.  Struggling is a part of being human.  Without it, we would not appreciate the good things that we have.  Today, recognize that without struggle, we are not driven to be better.  You are better today, than you were yesterday.  Just keep going!  Keep taking steps every day to work towards your goals of personal development.

Embrace Being Uncomfortable

We’ve all heard it before, “ Life isn’t always comfortable.”   Even if the change is a positive one, like eating healthier… it’s still not comfortable.     I’m in the process of buying my first home, and while I’m so happy and excited, I’m also really nervous and scared.   I would like to think I’m ready for the additional challenges and responsibilities of owning my own home.   But, what if I’m not?   Big life changes can be really nerve-racking!   But, I’m finding familiarity with being uncomfortable.   And, I actually take that to be a good thing.     If we get too comfortable, there is no growth, and if there is no growth, then we are just slowly dying. So, this week, embrace being a little uncomfortable.   It’s how you know you’re changing!
