The Waiting Period
In the society we live in, to wait for something is like a four-letter word. Why wait when there are ways to rush orders you made, rush food you can make. Remember the days where we had to wait to get on the internet. Dial-up, lol. That was fun. Now, we have everything we may need at our fingertips. For example, if we want our packages in two days, we can upgrade to Amazon Prime to receive our packages earlier. Waiting for things is now the thing of the past. Now, to be honest I am one of those people who has a hard time waiting. I can wait for certain things, such as the right guy, the right car, the right place to live; you get my point. However, there are just somethings I would like right now. I am not saying wanting things now is a bad thing, just saying the older I get the more I understand the point of waiting. I am learning life or God does not work that way. I found that life or God will only give you want you need quickly and the things you want may take some time.

How To Motivate Yourself to Get up Early and Exercise
For those of us who love to hit the snooze button, waking up even a few minutes early to exercise in the morning may seem like an impossibility. Finding a way to get into a morning workout routine can seem like a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be.

New Year, New Me?
First of all, I am disgusted by myself for that. I hate hearing the "new year, new me" phrase, but I think (like every year) that this could be my year. I started this blog as a stay-at-home mom wanting to build a small extra income and socialize with other mommies out there; then it became too much. In the past year and a half, I had two falling outs with my family, separated from my husband, moved four times, celebrated Parker's birthday twice, joined a sorority, joined the honors society, started three jobs and still managed to maintain straight A's. Life is hard, what can I say? You hit a few roadblocks, and you keep on truckin'. Have I wanted to drop out of school? Yes! Have I considered getting a low wage job and living off the government for the rest of my life? Absolutely! But I want SO MUCH MORE out of my life.

To Love Yourself
I know there are some people out there in this world that go through a point in their lives when they lose themselves, which has more than likely made them second guess who they are, and their purpose as a measly little human being on this planet. I, for one, have gone through this, and as a matter of fact I’ve dealt with this my entire life. Since my childhood I’ve struggled with self-acceptance and always wanting to be liked by others, and because of this it caused me to desperately need approval from other people. This craving just grew every single day like a fast growing vine, and until I knew it my entire life was engulfed with this need for others to like me.

New Year, New You?
It's a new year and it's my favorite time of year because that means new beginnings and new opportunities to start over, start fresh, and give yourself a clean slate. Over the last few months, I found myself trying so hard to move on, from pain, from heartache, from missing a certain someone. January couldn't come fast enough.

Lessons to Take into 2018
This is just a short reflection of everything I learned in 2017 that I plan to take along to help me in 2018 and I hope you’ll find something helpful in this too. 2017 wasn’t the best year for a lot of us by the look of social media but maybe with some of these lessons and the new ones we will learn 2018 will be our year.

New Year, New Beginnings.... Top Story - January 2018.
Every year I will set myself a New Year's resolution because I felt that It would be nice to a set a new goal to achieve. However, learning over time, I realized that New Year's resolutions are never going to be measurable or attainable unless you have the motivation to achieve your goals.

January: The Month of Me
The holidays have come and gone in the blink of an eye. I spent Christmas with my family in Illinois and New Years with close friends in Pennsylvania. Each day I spent with those dear to me was a day spent in pure bliss. As my boyfriend and I cleaned and locked up the vacation house in Pennsylvania, we were both struck by sheer melancholy, and I have not been able to shake it since.

Judgment, It’s Everywhere
Judgment. This is something I have (unfortunately) become very familiar with, especially this past year. That new career change that you are really excited about? There is going to be someone saying, “You won’t make any money doing that!” or “Why would you want to do THAT?”

You’re Too Smart to Go Down Stupid
DIY. If you find that you can’t work within the machine, do it yourself. Gareth Edwards, director of the most recent Godzilla reboot, had one homemade feature to his credit prior to directing the $200 million return of the giant lizard. The film was an indie titled Monsters, and it was shot for less than $500,000. Monsters was no big commercial hit, as it grossed $4.2 million globally. The reviews, however, were sensational.
