A Year in Retrospect

It dawned on me recently that I was coming up on the one year anniversary of my very first blog post.  It kind of blows my mind.  Twelve months can go by so fast.  In some ways I feel like I’ve really grown and come into my own.  I love that I’ve come to enjoy learning new things about myself, and finding the true meaning behind the actions I take.  I feel like I’m less likely to be taken advantage of, for the sole reason that I was too simple minded to see what others were actually doing.  Not to mention, all the things I was doing to other people!  I definitely feel more confident in who I am, and what I’m capable of accomplishing.  And, best of all, I actually have proof that I am different.  There is actual, physical proof that I have grown from who I was a year ago.  It’s not just about whether or not I feel that I’m different.  I still have so much more to learn, but at least I can see the progress that I’ve made.  And, that makes me happy. :)

The Taste of Fall

All of a sudden it’s fall.   It’s like a switch was flipped.   The nights are cooler (well, I think they’re down right cold) and the days are shorter.   I’m wearing light jackets, and thoroughly enjoying the new trench coat the I picked up back in August.   Today I had my first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season.   And, it was amazing.   I’m so excited that fall is here.   I just love all the spices and flavors in fall seasonal food.   I’m looking forward to trying out some very delicious looking recipes that I’ve been saving for cooler weather, and partaking in some fall-ish activties.   I just hope it doesn’t get too cold too soon!

Forward is Forward

There are definitely days, weeks, or even more extended periods of time when I feel stuck.  I feel like I'm not going anywhere and no matter what I do, and that I'm not making any progress.  But, the truth is, whether we see it or not, every day we get up and continue to work on our goals, is a day that we are moving forward.  We just have to keep persevering despite all the obstacles and distractions.  Think of it this way, we don't value things that come easy!

Hello October and PSLs!

Now that it's officially October, I'm allowing myself to drink pumpkin spice latte's, and it has truly made my Monday morning a little brighter.  I love how the little things, can make me stop and smell the roses, or coffee, in this case.  It is the start of a new month, and a new week, and for me, the start of quarter end!  I'm going to need a lot more coffee!  LOL. Over the last few weeks, I have really been tested at work.  I can tell that people are being put in front of me so that I can grow and work past some things in my life.  Like, how I can't control everything.  And, no matter what job I work in, there will always be challenging people that I need to work and partner with.   I read something recently that kind of put it into perspective.  Gold, when found in nature, is encased in rock and must be manually removed.  I don't know the science behind it, but these rocks must be crushed, chemically treated, and heated t...
