Albert Einstein once said,

“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”.

If this quote is accurate (and I am inclined to believe that it is), I’m insane. Sad, but true. Insane. Certifiable. Seriously, go ahead and lock me up.

I constantly find myself repeating behaviors and expecting different outcomes, only to bombarded with the inevitable. (more…)

This video kills me…

It kills me because even though I agree with everything Colt shares, it usually quite awhile after my dreams are shattered to remember to “never question why things happen the way they do” and to “always give God the glory.” I am so impressed with his maturity and his boldness.

Go Colt…you will be blessed abundantly if you continue to walk through life with that attitude. You are an inspiration.

Been awhile since I have done one of these but the holiday is over, and it is time to get back at it.

These “blueprints” are prompting me to think through what I want from life. They are merely a baby step in as I begin to traverse thinking through my life plan. I have already written on wanting to get married, wanting to get my hands dirty, and wanting to get fit.

I want to cultivate deep and authentic friendships. (more…)

Every time I hear the word ACTION, I find myself silently chanting:

ACTION! ACTION! We want ACTION! A-C-T-I-O-N!

No, I wasn’t a cheerleader. (I’ve got no hand-eye coordination. I fall down just thinking about doing a toe-touch.) I’ve just always thought that particular cheer was a catchy little motivator.

And sometimes I NEED motivation.

I love to create plans, concoct ideas, contemplate dreams. But if I am honest, I have a tendency to talk a big game. I sit on the sidelines, perfecting plays, coveting others’ talents, simply stalling…a virtual spectator in my own life.

So when my friend Alece asked us to choose one word that sums up what we want for ourselves in 2010…I decided mine would be ACTION!

In 2010, I am going to stop talking and start doing. (more…)

One of the best things that I did in 2009 was start this blog.

Not only has it  served as a wonderful outlet for me to process through my often-tangled thoughts, but it has fostered an UNBELIEVABLE COMMUNITY. I appreciate you all you reading…and adding to the conversation.

Here are my top posts of 2009 (aka EVER).

1. I Am What I Tweet? – Some people say we are what we eat, do you think we are what we tweet?

2. The Stars at Night – Looks like I need to talk about Texas more often. I apologize for getting you mentioning that song. Find comfort in the fact that it is stuck in my head too.

3. 32 and Single..Don’t Judge Me Too Quickly – So I am 32 (now 33) and single…that doesn’t mean you can lump me into some stereotypical category. (more…)
