We are currently blessed with great closet space; however, we plan to move next year and I doubt we’ll get this lucky again. I like to prepare for all aspect of the future and accounting for smaller storage is something I think about. A couple weeks ago I raided my closet and packed up clothes … More Extreme Makeover: Closet Edition
Destiny Is For Losers has always been inspired by the wise words of Blair Waldorf: “Destiny is for losers. It’s just a stupid excuse to wait for things to happen instead of making them happen.” Thus far this blog’s focus has been the things I’ve done to forego future regret and keep a productive lifestyle. … More A New Direction
I’m all about happiness. It’s not always easy to be happy. However, I believe it’s a choice and that if you chose to view things positively happiness will come. As a person who can suffer from blue periods I know it’s not always easy to do but it is worth it. Currently, I’m very happy … More #100HappyDays

As I sat in slow moving traffic being blinded by the sun I wished I could either beam myself home or run there. Obviously … More I Guess I am a Runner
I decided I wasn’t busy enough applying for jobs, finishing the International Literary Project, plugging into my Roosevelt research again, starting a new workout program and practicing Spanish, SO I decided to learn to play the piano. Since my last attempt to learn a skill most children know failed I decided to keep this under … More And One More Thing…
Detroit, Spring 2010 Searching for an old picture on FB I found this photo I completely forgot about! Mr. Steve and his fabulous camera work. I’m lucky to have such awesome co-workers and it’s something I’ll remember forever. Apparently, I won’t always remember I heard Michelle Obama speak – although I do remember we went … More Flashback Friday
I’m still getting use to the being married thing. I can’t really explain what I mean by that. I don’t feel single but most days I just feel like myself without a title. Today was not one of those days and this morning I felt like a very lucky wife. Weather in Michigan has been … More Lucky Wife
