The end of July marked my one year anniversary of having a consistent yoga practice. I want to start this post by saying I am so thankful for all the teachers I’ve had over the past year, especially the ones with whom I got to work regularly enough that they knew how to push my practice forward and encourage me every step of the way.

It has felt like the epitome of little by little progress to get out of medical debt- not even little by little, more often microscopic… so my husband and I were ready to dive in together and re-focus on our finance goals with this little guide… Continue reading

Enduring Past National Quiter’s Day
I have a confession to make: I have a habit of burning out. It’s not always super noticeable because I’ve known this about myself long enough that I’m really good at front-loading work and tasks. Continue reading

Goodbye Bs and Hello Cs…
Just a quick post today that I wanted to sneak in during little guy’s nap time. As the year winds down I will continue to recap the Bs including today’s recap on Blogging.
