A look back

Posted by chica with issues under general issues

When I started this blog back in May, I did not really have a clear focus of what I was going to talk about. I viewed it more as a way for me to get some things out of my head. My posting was a bit sporadic until I made up a posting schedule in […]

Patience takes time

Posted by chica with issues under personal development issues

I am one of the most impatient people that I know.
I tell myself that I am impatient because I hate wasting time. And I do. But I know that I need to learn to be more patient because most of the time I just end up frustrated due to impatience.
Trying to be more patient is […]

What to do when you hate your job

Posted by chica with issues under job, career, school related issues

I have had a lot of jobs in my lifetime that I have absolutely hated. And I think that is a bad thing as we end up spending more time at work each day than we do with people that we love or that doing things that we actually enjoy.

Wanna do a guest post?

Posted by chica with issues under general issues

Try as I might, my laser-like focus on debt reduction oftentimes leave me missing a post or just throwing together a last minute post.

Giving for the wrong reasons

Posted by chica with issues under personal development issues

I am a big fan of the holidays.
Big feasts, time with family and friends, time off from work, less rush hour traffic due to people taking time off work - what is there not to love about the holidays?  And let us not forget the presents.
