Update: My Vision Board

I finished! Here’s a look at my personal vision board: It is full of affirmations and goals and dreams of what my future will be. I know that I already have the most important ingredient for my own happiness – my amazing husband. He’s everything I ever dreamed of in a life partner, and more. Now, it’s just a matter of us working together to achieve the rest of our dreams. Hopefully this vision board will help us to focus on those goals and get motivated to work toward them every day!

Creating My Vision Board

My goal for today is to create a “vision board”. So what is a vision board? As I understand it, it’s a place where I can put my goals and where I want to be in the future into visual images and affirmations. For example, I want to focus on losing weight and getting healthy. In the future, I see myself as someone who is thin, beautiful, and healthy. Last night, I cut out pictures of healthy food, exercise equipment I want to use, and words like ‘beautiful’ and ‘go the extra mile’. Weight loss is just one part of…

Book 15: NAKED IN DEATH

I know I’ve lost count at this point. I’ve definitely read more than fifteen books this year, but I have failed to write reviews on my site about them. /sigh. It was a good idea, but I’ve definitely fallen short on getting every book up here. This one, however, I wanted to mention for a variety of reasons. ‘Naked in Death’ by J.D. Robb was an awesome book. I read it over the course of four or five nights, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Eve Dallas, the main protagonist of the series, is a cop in the 2050’s. She’s tough-as-nails,…

Fish-sitiing

I am the proud babysitter of one very pretty Beta fish. His name is “Alpha”, how cute is that? My friend J is going to Japan for a couple of weeks, so I agreed to watch him. I’m already loving him. As you can see, I couldn’t really get a great picture of him. He tends to hide in the little grass most of the time, but every once in a while, he comes to the front of the tank to say hello. Fish are so cool, and the fact that you can have one who is content to live…

Shiny New Idea

I love new ideas. It’s exciting to come up with a totally new cast of characters, a new setting, a brand new plot or premise. It feels especially shiny and new when you’ve been working on your last novel for almost a year. I’m burned out on it, to be honest. I know it needs more revisions, but I need space first. Time to let it cool off before I go back in and start dissecting it again or rewriting. I’m hoping that once I go back to it, I’ll find out that it is actually pretty good. Haha. After…

Digital Titles at the Library

Yay! My local library has finally started carrying ebooks! I went on their website to peruse the selection, and it’s actually not too bad. In fact, I have already checked out 2 ebooks for my Sony reader. ‘The Carrie Diaries’ by Candace Bushnell, which is the teen life of Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City. I haven’t started reading it yet, but I have loved almost all of Bushnell’s books, and we all know how much I love the series her book spawned. I’ve been dying to read this newest book, but haven’t wanted to shell out the $15…
