BEING BRAVE ENOUGH TO SAY GOODBYE

It doesn’t take long (when getting to know me), to figure out that I am quite the creature of habit. I know what I like. and I like what I like. (hey, if it ain’t broke – don’t fix it. Right?!) I typically get the same thing every time at my favorite restaurants because…well, I know I’ll like it. Plus, I usually end up craving it before I can even…

BE STILL

Lately, I’ve been having WAY too much fun on my new computer. I love having more screen space to work on photoshop and illustrator. I was a little hesitant to get a desktop, but after a few days of playing around on it, I am SO happy I went ahead and went for it!

(which is a good thing.) I hate to admit this,…

Sometimes I forget how refreshing a little time at home can be! It was so nice to be able to take a step back from my daily routine and relatively short-term-way-of-thinking. Meaning, instead of focusing on getting “through the day” or completing any…

Excellence Is a Habit

Depending on which day you ask me, I might have a different “meaning” or understanding of what this little quote means…or how it applies to my life. On one hand, I could associate this quote with character. And as such, it might mean that consistency and reliability trump grandiose and/or intenseness. In other words, one could argue that it is more important for us to be inherently good, rather than merely doing…
