Sometimes I find it extremely frustrating to have the personality that I do. There are 4 main personality types: sanguine, melancholy, choleric and phlegmatic. Each has their specific traits, strengths and weaknesses. Most people are hybrids of 2 or 3 of them. You can take a quick test to find yours. I happen to be phlegmatic. I am […]

My dance partner posted this on Facebook and I just had to share. Its a really, really great read and we all can take something from it to make ourselves happier. 30 Things to Start Doing For Yourself

I just got back from a weekend trip with Gavin to the Asbury Park Comicon. What an interesting experience! This year it was held at the Berkeley Oceanfront Hotel and sprawled throughout all of the ballrooms upstairs and downstairs. Like most conventions, it had rooms full of vendors, tables packed with colorful products, and tons of […]

One of my coworkers has been diagnosed with cancer.

Today consisted of lots and lots of water, some vanilla flavored vitamin-packed craving-reducing tablets, and the berry flavored deep cleansing juice that comes […]
