There was a good stretch of a few years, that I had a daily goal to write 20 minutes a day. It was mostly fluff stuff but it was still something I actually did. A goal I actually accomplished and me and goal fulfillment has not always been a thing. I filled up a couple of small thought notebooks and probably shared most of my writings on this blog.

I decided I wanted to walk a 5k this summer. Truth be told, I really want a shirt showing that I walked a 5k. The feat doesn’t matter if I don’t have the memento to prove it. And yes, I’m keeping my expectation low enough so that I can accomplish it. I am content to walk not run 3.10686 miles. Continue reading

During a high school science class, we were asked to conduct an experiment. My partner and I chose to focus on the effects of words. It was a rather simple test. We took two seeds and planted them in separate containers. We made sure each received the same amount of nutrients – water and sun. Continue reading

I actually accomplished a new year resolution from 2014. Thanks to my home teacher, I set a goal to attend the temple once a month.
