June’s Intention

In continuation with a mini resolution each month, for June I have decided to exercise or do some sort of physical activity each day. It doesn’t have to be an intense, hour long workout, just something to get me active instead of melting into the couch while watching my 100th episode on Netflix that day….

May’s Declaration

I am still sticking to my goal to have a different resolution each month. April was a game of minimalism, where I went through my possessions, and donated, gave to friends, or threw away the things that I didn’t use, or were no longer serving their purpose. For the month of May, I have decided…

April’s Check-In

February Reads

In one of my previous posts, I mentioned that my resolution for February was to read more. I followed that with a post stating that my resolution had gone well, but did not specify how much, or what I ended up reading during the month. This post is to share that and satisfy your curiosity….

March Resolutions

Resolution update: in my opinion, February’s went fairly well! Even though I probably could have used social media a little less and read a little more, I believe that I still managed to read more than I was previously, which was the point. For those who think that they don’t have enough time in the…
