I have spent 19 of the last 26 days, in some capacity, at the library. As someone who is not presently a student, that may seem exorbitant, even weird. I'm sure it is.But I learned a lot about myself in the process of establishing this streak. The routine of making time for the library each … Continue reading Library Streak In Review (Sneak Peek of #oneword2013)

The Road Toward SNAP Challenge 2013: "HOW will you do it?"
Good morning everyone!As I start the journey toward January and the SNAP Challenge, I have already gotten a few questions- the most common being "HOW will you do it?"

A recurring theme in my life this week has been the power of challenge, and what it does to shape the person that you are.The first instance which prompted me to think about it was, unfortunately, the death of my uncle a week ago tomorrow. He had been sick for several years, and passed peacefully. … Continue reading The Importance of Challenge
