How I did it
How to become better at small-talk
It took me
2 years
It made me

How I did it: This took me a looooong time, and just life experience in general. I have had to make a conscious effort to put myself out there with new people (scary!). Having to work in retail to bring some money in and working at a school for children with hearing impairments where I learnt to be assertive really helped move this goal along. But I feel much more confident now - very worth it. Read how I did it…

Friday 10 July 1 day ago

Today I am grateful…

1 – to catch up with old friends (over french toast!)
2 – that I am keeping up with my walking schedule
3 – that my dinner turned out well last night, even if it did take twice as long to bake as they claimed it would
4 – for getting 50% off my last pair of shoes at work
5 – that D is back :)

Watch all of The West Wing
Untitled 1 week ago

I saw most of S6 & 7 when they were on TV here but hadn’t gotten into it before then, I was prob a bit young.
Now mum & I own all the DVDs (without having ever gotten around to watching them) and since I’m on holidays this month, I’ve officially started this goal. I’ve just finished Season 1 and am loving it!
