Motivational Monday!
I watched the Golden Globes award show last night, did you? I'm not really an awards show kind of gal, but it was on while I was doing other things around the apartment so it helped passed the time. Also, I love movies and had seen a few of the top picks, so I was...

“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist I haven't read The Alchemist in a long time now, but I believe 2024 might be the right time to pick up this gem again. Have you ever read it? If you...

"I don’t care what you think of me, unless you think I’m awesome. In which case you are right."~ Miss Piggy That's right, today I am quoting Miss Piggy—it's a Miss Piggy kind of day. Yesterday, I had a somewhat routine doctor's appointment. Unbeknownst to me, they had...
