work on your goals
What are rainy Saturdays for? Productivity – so we can inch closer to accomplishing our goals.Even if it looks different outside and I wanted to cuddle up with several books and be lazy, I had commitments that I had made previously and I stuck to them. And what was the result of that? All positive…

tagging authors in “bad” reviews
Since starting this blog, I’ve read several posts (specifically on bookstagram) that bookstagrammers should not tag authors in “bad” reviews. And I guess I have the unpopular opinion (that I’ve rarely seen voiced from others) that reviewers should be free to tag authors in bad or negative reviews. Even if tagging an author goes directly…

8.20 sunday musings
I was coming into this post feeling as if I had nothing to say for today. Which is okay, when I have nothing to write. Or is it? Is that the kind of value that I want to uphold? Any kind of success is not going to come from zero production. I don’t want to…

Sunday musings
Picture (and musings I guess) inspired by the popular bookstagram hashtag “shelfiesunday” feat. one of this morning’s coffees and a very disorganized bookshelf from moving. I am very excited to move books around and have a little change of scenery on my shelves. I’m not entirely sure how I’ll organize yet, but I’m sure when…

7.18 and fuck socialism
I meant for a Monday motivation post yesterday, but life had other plans. So here is some Tuesday motivation, if you are interested (I know I am). Keep getting after it. The more you do when you don’t feel like it, the more resilient you’ll be when you have long days. And just think, if…

tuesday thoughts 5.30.23
Here’s some Tuesday thoughts for you… Don’t go about today wishing it was already the end of the week. Don’t tell yourself that Mondays suck and that you wish you were doing something else and you can’t wait for the weekend. Go get after today. Tell today that it’s not going to win, you are.…

monday motivation 4.3.23
I see soooo many posts of “Monday Blues” on bookstagram, basically of a blue stack of books since people are sad that it’s Monday. Which brings up a point that I’ve made to change in my life. In the past few years, I’ve set myself up to have a better outlook on life, become stronger…

3.30.23 musings
I am currently reading Zen Wrapped in Karma Dipped in Chocolate by Brad Warner, hence the crazy musing below. As we travel through this life, we all must first and always be working on ourselves. Constant self criticism is crucial to improvement. If we get too comfortable, I wonder, do we get lazy? Or are…

my goal to write more
Last night I decided to start writing for at least for a minute a day. It doesn’t matter what I write about, I just want to put myself into the habit of writing every day and more often. And in some time, what I’m assuming will be a short amount of time, I’ll increase my…

do we get into reading slumps or does life get busy?
Great Expectations is putting me into a reading slump. I was doing great and really liking it. And then around page 150 the other day I hit a wall and I can’t get back into it – I do a few pages a day and I can’t focus and am disinterested. So is it that…
