February 2019 Monthly Wrap-Up

haileyhudson's avatarHailey Meets World

February was an okay month, but not great. I hit some big financial goals with work, which was very exciting, but my health suffered: I had a bad cold for basically the first two weeks of the month, and as soon as I got over that, all of my other health problems went into a flare (from stress, not taking one of my prescription meds for two months, and who knows what else).

I turned 20 years old and Brooke and I took a road trip to Chattanooga for three nights to celebrate. Joshua and I had a donut date; I went to tap class and picked up my neighbors from school each week; my dad and I went out for dinner and shopping; and I went to my informal small group once and my parents’ small group once.

This month I’m…

Hi Hello

30something, anxiety, Books, depression, life, Music, reading

kate's avatarsooo many things

Here are a few things you might want to know about me:

  1. I live in Michigan and have all 31 years of my life, but I’m planning a move to California this year.
  2. Related: I like to spend a lot of time doing outside things but I hate the winter.
  3. I have anxiety and depression and am constantly trying to figure out a better way to function.
  4. The last band I saw live was Cherry Glazerr and they were great. The next band I’ll probably see is Delicate Steve. I’ve seen him before and he is also great.
  5. I have a lot of opinions which is probably why I’m here writing a blog about things.
  6. Related: I think capitalism is a waste of everyone’s time. Ditto the current president of the USA.
  7. I’m currently reading Swamplandia! by Karen Russell and it’s making me pretty uncomfortable.
  8. In my day job I…

Create your own opportunities, open doors for yourself and others

hard work, Opportunities, risks, unemployment

Melanie Mwangi's avatarmeltivated

Three years ago a friend got the job of his dreams, working as a Public Relations practitioner for an international firm.

Everybody thought he had made it in life.

It’s one of the best, every PR person in Kenya dreams of joining the company.

He worked for two years, but decided to quit his job to pursue his own dreams.

But he first withdrew from his family and friends because he was afraid of what people would think.

We were catching up a couple of weeks after his resignation but he never told me a thing until after we met again the following week.

He told me he had not yet told his parents he quit because he was afraid they would be disappointed in him.

He was also afraid of how people would judge him.

“Are you insane? Here you get a good salary, why are you quitting?”

He…

Can we really find the right balance in life?

bloggingfundamentals, Finding balance, Happiness, happy life

Evgenia Profi, Content Strategist | UX writer | Copywriter's avatarNot a cliché

Everybody talks about work – life balance. It is a popular discussion with numerous answers and different approaches all over the public domain. It is addressed both practically and spiritually.

“Everything in
moderation” or “Pan metron ariston” said Cleobulus, one of the Seven Sages of
Greece. He talked about finding balance in the 6th century BC. Today
we still struggle to achieve this. Can we ever achieve the perfect balance? What
is it all about? Is it about the destination, or about the journey?

I do believe that
finding balance is not limited to the dipole between the personal and the
professional. Finding balance is relevant to all aspects of our lives, anything
that involves decision making and relations with others. No event is ever all
black or all white, hardly ever is someone completely right or completely
wrong. We constantly need to find balance and peace in our…
