The No. 1 Question to Ask to Ensure Your Success
There is nothing I read more about than mindset and habits. And though there are hundreds of thousands of different strategies out there, the majority of what I read share one basic guideline — a single question to ask yourself in order to ensure lasting success.

6 Steps to Achieving Your Goals
I have set and achieved some lofty goals throughout my life. Yet as many times as I’ve achieved a goal, I’ve failed as well. A lot of lessons came from those failings though. First and foremost, that failing does not always mean a definite end to a goal. Failing at something might mean a change…

As usual, Life is passing by at an alarming speed, but I could not miss my annual tradition of sitting down at the keyboard to reflect on this past year… and decade as a whole. Since 2014 I have looked back at each year and shared some of the highlights in my life. So here…

A Coffee-Inspired Bridal Shower Gift Basket
This post is made possible by the delicious chai latte from Starbucks I’m drinking. I’m at the keyboard early this morning, having a little Me Time before heading to Indiana to celebrate the beautiful bride-to-be. It’s wedding season! I love Spring because it is the mark of hitching season. And there is absolutely nothing I…
