When life is good, why question it? [Monthly Update]

January went by so quickly I didn’t even realise I didn’t do a monthly update, per agreement with my PR team. Instead, I happily went about life, creating a series of posts to help others stick to their goals, and planning for the future. After all, helping other people is so much more interesting to […]

It’s not a scene from Dexter. It’s a roll.

In my last post I made a note about how much fun I was having making things for the holiday. I also made a note of how if it looks like a scene from “Dexter”, it was even more hilariously fun for me. Of course, this got people asking what I was making, and if […]

November comes to an end (early) + Travelling research

Unexpected progress towards getting into the Guard

I missed last week’s fitness update due to a lot of chaos going on in my life. And for that, I’m sorry. It turns out that dealing with all the minor details of getting the administrative work done is taxing for my brain and time. I’ve made it a point to announce that I had […]

My goals may be too high… {Fitness Friday}

I have mentioned before that I want to get into the National Guard Reserves this year, though I’ve not said why. I want to get into the Guard for networking, training that I can’t get anywhere else, a little bit of extra money, and a sense of pride because I’m giving back to this country. […]
