it's a Tuesday and I haven't been very productive. I decided to stay at my current job and not take the new position I had been offered. I regret it slightly however having benefits, higher pay, 401k, etc. just won over getting out. So I am making the conscious effort to be happy and appreciate the fact that I have those benefits, that I even...

I have spent most of my day on my couch in a hoodie and leggings watching some of my favorite movies - Whip It, Silver Linings Playbook and Prometheus. I have eaten too much and drank just a bit. It feels nice to be lazy and enjoy the company of my favorite people. I don't do this often, but it felt deserved. I hope you...

I have been actively searching for a new job as I feel that this is the center of my stress and unhappiness. So far I have scheduled two interviews. I am optimistic. I no longer want to work with the catty...

I saw this blog assignment posted in the SG Hopeful Group and it was a good seed for thought. SG started to change my life back in 2004 when I was much younger and searching. What was I searching for? I'm not completely sure. I never really fit in. My parents are conservative - they never understood my choice in music, love of art and...

I decided to stay home today and catch up on TV, look for a new job, navigate this SG site a little better. It still feels surreal to be a hopeful. I am so absolutely grateful to be part of this community. I can't wait to jump in and get more pictures and blogs posted. I am so excited to have somewhere to post my...
