Our Own Independence

Jul 5, 2011 by

Yesterday, the big ole United States of America celebrated her 235th Independence Day with parades, cookouts, fireworks and an over-abundance of red, white, and blue.  As I listened to our country’s history as they declared the end of British control over this new land, I started thinking about our own individual...

Jul 1, 2011 by

On Tuesday, I asked you all to consider your resolutions for 2011 or any other goals you have set for yourself recently. Are you making the progress you should? Do you need to make some adjustments? I took a look back at the resolutions we set for Girlyfight back in January: create a community where women can come for...

Jun 28, 2011 by

Remember back in January when a lot of us set some sort of goals for the new year? Whether you called them resolutions, promises, or by some other name, you know what I’m talking about.

From This Place

May 13, 2011 by

I was recently having lunch with a friend and received this fortune at the end of my meal:   It’s kind of crazy when a random fortune can better articulate your current situation than you can. That one sentence sums up so much of my life over the years. I have this mentality that life has to be a certain way...

30 Day Challenge

May 9, 2011 by

My life has been in a bit of an odd place for the past few months. I left my job of over nine years last November and finished a graduate program in another (semi-related) field last December. Since then, I’ve been in a bit of a holding pattern, doing some freelance work and wondering what might be next but not...

Today, I Am Thankful For…

May 2, 2011 by

Positivity isn’t something that comes naturally to me.  I probably shouldn’t admit something like that out loud, but it’s the truth and I feel like we could all use a little more of that these days. I am a hopeful person but as I’ve become more aware of myself and my behaviors, I’ve noticed...

Earth Day 2011

Apr 22, 2011 by

Today is April 22nd, Earth Day. At first I wasn’t sure if Earth Day really fits with the Girlyfight mission of “inspire, empower, connect and support women who want to create a positive change in their local and global community” but then I saw this year’s theme, “A Billion Acts of...

You’ve Got to Give A Little

Apr 15, 2011 by

Earlier in the week, we mentioned that it’s  National Volunteer Week. And in keeping with that theme, I thought I’d share a story from my past volunteering experiences that has always stuck with me. At some point during my teen years, I caught the volunteer bug. I don’t know how it happened or why it...
