Beyond having the basics—food, shelter and clothing—I feel so lucky to have things in my life take things to the next level. It's so easy to focus on the things that aren't going so well, and maybe dwell on them a bit.

3 Things I Love about Off-Season Travel
I recently wrote a quick post with a few ideas for Winter Getaways. In the post I shared some possibilities for travel destinations during winter.

Can you relate? I recently reviewed my Q1 goals, answering questions like: what went this quarter? what were the most ...

For this year, I’ve given myself an allowance for little things that make me happy: bi-weekly flowers, one new record a month, pizza once a month (ordered, eaten out or made), as well as set-up a few automatic savings initiatives. This has made it really easy to think back on my progress and things I’ve done throughout the month. Oh, seeing my friend Vic? That was the time we went ...
