This way anyone who reads my blog will have a quick reference to follow: The first step in self improvement is to accept that there is nothing broken or wrong with you. The next is to examine your life and see the big picture. Third would be planning your life around the truth (however, taking action is usually more important if you are just spinning your wheels), but before that you must accept certain things: Happiness is external (i.e.…

"After today, I am not going back up here," he promised riding across the field to the flat where he had left his bike on previous visits. Slipping and sliding he scurried up the steep mountainside while trying to be quiet. From time to time, he grabbed the bushes to keep from sliding backward. When he arrived at the mines, he moved the boards covering the entrance. He stepped inside, shined a…

I so identified with her character, and once I began to research Teryl 's career, I was awestruck with her versatility and extensive range of her abilities that she has had the opportunity to demonstrate…

However, along with their clothes, they sell the ideas and lifestyle of living without responsibilities and without restrictions, which will lead to prestige. These young consumers view themselves as self-made if they are able to afford expensive things and do whatever they want. The store uses this to…

    • 794 Words
    • 4 Pages

So unsurprisingly, I am ecstatic with Six of Crows’ prose. I was ready to be swept off my feet, but sadly that did not happen. There are a lot of factors, I considered why this happened. My top choices are, I finished The Fixer by Jennifer Lynn Barnes last night. And it’s everything I wanted and more. It is…

    Journal Entry #7: Protecting the Interests of Minorities (p. 232) The world is full of controversy and tough choices. We love to fight for our freedoms, to say what we want and stand up for what is right. But there are a lot of times where there’s no clear right and wrong, and there are good, logical, reasonable people on each side of the argument that have just as much a right to defend their beliefs as you do. We tend to forget that, especially in such a bipartisan society full of politically…
