Empty Falls...


Its been awhile since my last post and I cant help but realize that in the span of that last post nothing really mind blowing has happened.

I can say that after much needed soul searching and some deep thought... I decided to take a break from school... most would think that means not taking classes but to me that means cutting back to one class for this semester. I think next semester I will take the last three that I have in order to graduate.

Tonight is one of those nights that I think sleepless-ness will bite me in the butt. I hate being like this but I have such a hard time sleeping lately. I have read through 3 books in the past week. I guess that is the least of our societies worries.. my sleep and reading habits. haha

Yesterday, I got to go on one of the best HIKES EVER! I mean getting out in the great outdoors is one of my favorite things to do. I have a horse for such reasons... but this hike was beyond words. The crazy part is that its the end of summer so the falls were not flowing... which means that beauty can only grow!

I encourage anyone that has the hint of a urging to step in the great outdoors to find a place to challenge yourself and see the wonders of nature at its finest! You will be so glad you did!

In the next few months I am focusing on getting into a career... Like a big girl job... the kind i have been avoiding like the black plague.. but the time is now! So here is the goals

1) Find career (salary)
1.5) finish school
2) Save enough to place a down payment on a small fixer upper house
3) move out
3.5) Make the house a home
4) grow up and be the kind of person someone would want to be around

I know these wont be happening over night but its something i have been looking into more seriously as the day of the anniversary of my birth approaches.. and with no suga daddy in sight its time this lady started paving her own way
!!!!!

As the leaves start to turn colors and the summer we had begins to fade away... I think about what this fall shall bring and what the summer has brought and how those experiences will shape the way of the crop that is to come...

Keep wandering through the fields of hope and aspirations because one day that field wont be filled with aspirations but accomplishments..

Kindi...


Im SUPER ecstatic to introduce you to Kindi! She is my new best friend that can hold over 3,500 books! My parents got her for me yesterday as a early Christmas gift and I haven't been able to leave the house with out her!

I love lists and having goals. If you ever lived with me you would know how much post-its mean to me. I know that as a tree-hugging paper saving person I should avoid such galavanting of post its but I cant seem to steer myself away from their usefulness. Any ways, i love writing out my goals, verses, motivation and other things on these little tokens to help guide me through the day.

Lately, my goals have been all about self improvement. "Eat more vegetables", "Pray for someone", "Take the trash out" (that was a chore but it helps keep me in line) any ways these little guys are every where floating around. I wonder what motivates you to strive for your goals?

Does a post-it or a list help you? Or are you a spreadsheet goal person? i want to know.

A few words from Walt:
Of all the things I've done, the most vital is coordinating those who work with me and aiming their efforts at a certain goal.
Walt Disney

So what's next... that seems again to be lost in the whistle of the wind.. May goals help you achieve your deepest desires.. but don't let those desires over run your life... live freely.. lovely deeply
