I just launched my new site, www.freshnewlife.com. It focuses on personal growth through travel and I will be writing a few times a week. I’m very excited! It’s been in the works for a while and I have finally taken the leap. Now that I’ve posted my first article, I have tons of ideas coming [...]

It is official: I am simply not an office person. Up through today, I have felt like a caged animal in every office I’ve ever worked in. I think I could possibly enjoy the Google offices, but since that is not likely to happen any time soon or ever, I’ve decided I must work in [...]
Read More..>>The Paradox of Choice
Posted on November 3, 2008 - Filed Under Freedom, Miscellaneous, My plan, Simplicity, Travel | 10 Comments
I’m reading this really interesting book, The Paradox of Choice, by Barry Schwartz. I’m not quite finished yet but so far it confirms some gut feelings I’ve been having lately about the overwhelming choices a lot of us have and how that truly affects us both positively and negatively. I would highly recommend it.
It looks at [...]
Productivity made simple
Posted on October 10, 2008 - Filed Under Miscellaneous, My plan, Simplicity, Travel | 3 Comments
There seems to be a recent proliferation of blogs, books, etc. on productivity. Most of these have fun, useful tips. I’ve jumped on Lifehacker and Dumblittleman before and after a few visits, I quickly realized that most of the info they relay is just plain common sense. However, it seems we are so busy these days that [...]

Oh, how I love fall… it is physically hurting me to be inside today. The air is cool and crisp and I’m wearing my new brown boots and favorite scarf. Apples abound at the Farmers market and soon I’ll be cooking pumpkin anything and brewing apple cider. Yay!!
Lately I’ve been thinking about where I’ll be in [...]
Restless musings…
Posted on September 15, 2008 - Filed Under Miscellaneous, My plan, Travel | 4 Comments
I admit, it took me a while to get used to the idea of Facebook. I was a reluctant convert…totally clueless as to how to send a message much less use one of those application thingy’s. I’m somewhat adept now…although I still don’t know how to ‘throw something’ at someone or what ’superpoke’ means [...]
Hot August Nights
Posted on August 8, 2008 - Filed Under Miscellaneous, My plan | 1 Comment
The evenings in Raleigh lately have been gorgeous and breezy. You can barely tell it’s August although I’m sure it will heat up at some point in the coming days. But for now, it’s heaven. I don’t want to be shut up in my apartment, I want to be out of doors. In the grass, [...]

Hello! Isn’t this a cool pic? One of the items on my travel ‘To do’ list (which is way more fun than any other sort of ‘to do’ list) includes renting a red convertible and drive up the California coast on Highway 1.
So things are going well and I’m still on track with my travel plans for next year. [...]
Ultimate Frisbee kicked my **s
Posted on June 20, 2008 - Filed Under Miscellaneous | Leave a Comment
I can barely walk today. I couldn’t really walk yesterday either. The culprit? A frisbee.
I’ve been thinking that in all my dreaming, plotting and planning on traveling and experiencing new things, I’ve got to remember that I can do the same here in my home city. So I made good on a long ago promise to myself [...]
Spring Craziness
Posted on May 1, 2008 - Filed Under Miscellaneous, My plan | Leave a Comment
Holy geez, May is going to be a crazy month and it hasn’t even begun. Just in the next few days I have: to move, do all the small but important things that go along with moving like turning electricity on and such, stay on top of things at work, prepare to go out of [...]
