[pinit]Does anyone like getting up early? I must admit, it’s not my favorite thing to do. In fact, I’m really not in favor of the alarm clock at all. Just the name of it alone is enough to throw someone into a frenzy. Alarm?! Isn’t that what goes off to alert people of a pending unpleasant occurrence? To me, it makes more sense to wake up when your body wakes up. Plain and simple. I figure once my body has had enough sleep, it will just naturally wake up. Right? Well yes.

Once I began studying this subject, it quickly became obvious to me that I must decide where I’m going in … [Read more...]
Weekly Goals
I have seen a lot of other Bloggers dedicate a post each week to sharing their goals. And, I must admit that this practice has been very intriguing to me. However, I always thought of goals as being very private in nature. So, the thought of broadcasting them to the world seemed a little intimidating.
