It Looks Like I’m Back…
Written by Lovelyn on July 20, 2010 – 3:42 pm -After going on hiatus from this blog for nearly a year, I’ve decided to start posting here again. I took off because posting here was starting to become a chore for me. I felt stuck when it came to thinking up new topics and I wasn’t sure about what I had to contribute anymore, but slowly during the time I took off things started to change. I’ve slowly evolved. My feelings about health and personal development have changed a bit too. I have a more clearly defined idea about what I want to do with this blog now.
There will be some changes around here. Not many, but there will be a few. I’ll be putting up a post once a week and posting a link love post every Friday. It will be good.

Boycott BP
Written by Lovelyn on May 24, 2010 – 12:22 pm -This whole oil spill thing makes me so angry I can’t even see straight. Eleven people have died and oil continues to leak into the Gulf of Mexico. I think everyone should boycott BP. BP owned brands include Castrol, Arco, Aral, am/pm, Amoco, Wild Bean Cafe, and Safeway gas. If you feel too apathetic to actually boycott them here’s some motivation.

The Clouds Will Part — Encouraging Words for Trying Times
Written by Lovelyn on November 3, 2009 – 2:03 pm -When I woke up this morning it was the most miserable day ever. The wind was howling, rain was pouring down and the sky was dark. “What a miserable day,” I thought, “I won’t be walking to the grocery store today.” Normally, I walk to the store and I have a few things to pick up for dinner tonight. A few minutes ago, I noticed the sun shining on me as I sat at my desk. When I looked out the window the sun was shining and the sky was perfectly clean and blue. It looks like I will be walking to the store after all. Read more »

Try Talking Yourself Into It
Written by Lovelyn on October 6, 2009 – 1:15 pm -I was reading a blog post the other night about the habits of healthy people and one of the habits really stood out to me. It could be applied to most everything not just health. The quote was “healthy people talk themselves into doing, being, living a certain way. Unhealthy people talk themselves out of it.” Read more »
