For the record, the photo above is definitely not my home. If it were I would be rocking to and fro in a fetal position in the darkest corner I could find. I merely used this photo to paint an image. Of a slightly less cluttered, but item filled > 1400 square foot home, inhabited [...]
I've never been one to day dream. I'm typically quite focused and am able to fully engage in whatever the task is at hand. However whether you are busy at work making intricate complex coffee drinks, tracking financials on spreadsheets or alphabetizing your Outlook in box, sometimes it's fun to mentally break away and picture [...]
Last week marked a tremendous occasion for me - it was my first trip to Comic-con international in sunny San Diego. Sure my friends and I have trolled the streets of the Gaslamp looking for celebs after the convention closed for the night, but we'd never sat in on a panel and listened to our [...]
Exciting times! SO much happening all at once! New career opportunities. European adventures. And my first "published" article outside of my blog sites! I recently had three blog posts accepted to one of my favorite blog sites, HelloGiggles.com. I considered this was a huge victory and my excitement was only surpassed when I received an email from HG [...]
I'm having the best night ever. It's Saturday night, its raining in San Diego, we have a fire roaring in our wood burning stove, we're drinking a local brewery's porter, eating mint chocolate chip ice cream in pajamas all while watching the Wizard of Oz. The only thing that could make it better would be [...]
We've discussed in the past the necessary evil of some labels. I don't feel that being either an introvert or an extrovert is in any way a hindrance. I've debated with some folks that feel that being an introvert has held them back, or deterred them from living, but I don't believe that labeling yourself [...]
I can't stand talking on the phone. I don't know if it's because I overdosed on phone calls during my high school years, or my disdain for the evolution from dependable land lines to the ever unpredictable cell phone (this probably has a lot to do with my cow-town-no-tower upbringing.) Despite my distaste for telephonic [...]
Starting anything is challenging. Typically I will have what I think is a brilliant idea, and I'll start to run with it. I'll work out the details wayyyy far into the weeds, communicate the idea with a bunch of people who may not be as enthused as I am, then get burned out too fast [...]
I have never been a fan of "labels" (even before it was cool!) I spent Elementary School having students tell me I wasn't popular enough. In High School I wasn't risky or "punk" enough, now as an adult I've had peers tell me I need to "work on my confidence" because to them, it seemed [...]
That's the real question right? What is all the fuss about being and "Introvert" or an "Extrovert" and why start a blog about it?? The E/ I terms were originally coined by the Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist Carl Jung. Jung was best known for his breakthrough and definition of psychology concepts such as the archetype, the [...]
