Baby, Take Some Steps. Take Some Baby Steps.
I have had the most unbalanced life lately, though I can’t possibly complain. I’ve managed to do most of everything that I’ve wanted to do within the past few months, barring some things which merely require a little foresight to achieve. What a blessing! When this all started, I was looking for happiness. Well, I’ve found…

Let's get serious.
I say it every day for those of you who know me, but I’m really going to start exercising and eating healthy…starting Monday. This is my public testament so that if I fail to do so, you can mock and ridicule me for my inability to follow through with my word. Cool? See the thing…

Past Influences and Parties
Fact: I feel sexiest when driving in my car, windows down, music up, night air, wind in my hair. I drove from Grand Rapids to my parents’ home today. I arrived home just in time to catch my mom and her friends mid-celebration for one of my high school teachers; it was her retirement party. Not only do I…

Greater Grand Rapids & Four-Leafed Clovers.
Aside from four small bags and one box, I’m moved in. My room is tidy and I fully intend on keeping it that way. It’s peaceful here and I think utilizing my futon for a bed was a good choice; open spaces are cleansing. I feel like a lot has happened this week, more things…

Welcome to S.S.A.
Hi, my name is Megan and I’m a self-sabotager. Is there a 10-step program for that?

Fact and Fiction
It started with a phone call. “A storm is coming. Are you watching the news?” I wasn’t. I had been listening to music on my computer while the television replayed the MTV Movie Awards in the background. Come to think of it, I hadn’t stepped out or even seen the outside since I had taken…

Pick up the pace. Lub-Dub. Lub-Dub.
Yes, it’s time to pick up the pace, to take a leap of faith. I, for one, believe that faith is a funny thing. (Note that I’m not commenting on religious faith here but rather the generally applied definition of faith which we feel free to place in people, situations, goals, or time frames. That…

Enigma.
Life, where are you leading me? Or am I leading you? One foot, then the other. One foot and then the other. Whether I lead or follow, the steps are the same. One foot and then the other. But truly I know you. You do not lead and you do not follow. You progress when I…

Comfortable Skin.
Wow. This weekend flew by and lasted a lifetime all the same. I took my first solo flight. I flew from Detroit Metro to Denver International Airport and I must say, traveling is very me. I finished reading The Happiness Project this weekend, and in honor of Gretchen’s “Be Gretchen” mantra, I made a list of…

Open the cage. Does the bird take flight?
My mother told me today that often they find caged birds, when freed, will not fly. How sad. Let us not, like caged birds, lose our will to act. I’m currently sitting at a table for six at the public library. A woman around my age sits across the table on the opposite side of…
