{Original Image} Even though it’s already March, it’s not too late to start on a few little projects to help you capture your year. (You can also tuck these ideas away for next year if you would like to actually start them on the first day of the year.) If you are someone who has…

Are you a motivated person? It seems like my motivation is constantly fluctuating. There are days where I will be inspired to work hard and to live my life to the fullest. Most of the time though, I’m feeling the summer blues. Despite having an abundant amount of time, a lot of it is wasted because…
Infographics are a great way to visually present information. They have creative and sleek methods of design and presentation. I will be posting a series of Infographic of the Days over the next weeks. These are the ones that are interesting or that catch my eye. Today’s infographic gives name to Dr. Seuss. We can…
Homework, debate, choir, homework, school, work. November and December are busy months for me, and I’m guessing many of you can say the same. So I challenge you to do something in these times of busyness. I challenge you to do something for others. I challenge you to change someone else’s day for the better.…
