Listing goals to work on for the upcoming New Year has been part of my routine for the past few years on the blog. I will have to say that putting my goals on a public site and keeping you guys updated regularly on my successes and failures has really helped me. Looking back over… Continue reading 2022 Goals

2021 Goal Updates (Week 51)
Walk 500 miles this year (510 miles walked!!!) I blew through this goal early! This is by far one of the best things I do for myself each year.

My Week (12.1.2021)
What I've been reading: Never Let Me Go was highly recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint. The story is so eerie because it could totally happen today. The book follows a group of friends who are a part of a program that grows organs for other people by cloning "donors". Sadly the… Continue reading My Week (12.1.2021)
