New Year, New Me?

With the New Year approaching I have already been asked what some of my New Year Resolutions are. After thinking about this I decided that I want to focus on five things. The first one is a classic, develop a plan to have a workout routine or schedule. When I work out, I feel better about myself, find time to focus on tasks that need to be completed, promote a healthier lifestyle, and keeps me in shape. With the Winter months among us, it is difficult and uncomfortable to go outside for a twenty-mile bike ride in the cold, snow, and icy conditions. The second resolution I have is working on my relationship with my family. I have struggled to keep my family a priority and want to focus on rebuilding our relationship. With building this relationship I am going to try and spend more time with them, be more open about aspects of my life including work, relationships, and any news I may hear. The third resolution is to realign my faith. Something I have continuously struggled with is my faith. I have never been able to fully commit to religion and would like to attempt. To assist in completing this resolution accountability will be necessary along the way. This does not mean church every weekend but inviting religion into my life every week in one way or another. Looking more towards selfish resolutions I want to earn my Masters of Accounting this next year, resolution four, and save more money, resolution five. These resolutions will help set me up for more success in my professional career. These resolutions will be difficult to achieve but this challenge will help me continue to grow in my life as an individual.

Escaping Reality

Well, I am a few blog posts behind and will be attempting to release 6 posts this week. Two posts each day, maybe not two today. This week is looking very hectic now that I have done this to myself. Last week got away from me having me miss a lot of what was happening around me. This week and the next few I am looking to focus on my surrounding world, ensuring I take time to stop and look around. This past week I missed the ability to relax for a bit, creating more stress than needed. Recently it has been a struggle to find a routine to follow, that allows for a little bit of free time to take that step back. Allowing time each day to reflect, listen, and just be in the environment around me helps me center myself and assists in creating a peaceful moment. With today being the first day of fall I made a deal to a friend that we would go for bike rides every weekend until it finally got too cold to go outside. This creates at least two hours of time immersed in nature and the surroundin...

Thanksgiving is Christmas' Shadow

With the holiday season quickly approaching it appears that Thanksgiving always gets the short end of the stick. With Christmas and the entire season of Winter, this holiday tends to be forgotten. Stores like Walmart, Target, Meijer, Hobby Lobby, Kroger put up Christmas decorations directly after Halloween. Fall decorations disappear after October 31, and immediately winter decorations get placed out. These decorations usually consist of Christmas trees, lights, nativity scenes, snowmen, snowflakes. All the colors change from bright reds, yellows, oranges, transitions to reds and greens . This gives Thanksgiving a very short period, specifically three days. The rule in my family has always been Thanksgiving before Christmas, in the house the Christmas season does not begin until Black Friday shopping begins. This has always been the case for our family because of downtown Cincinnati hosts a tree lighting to officially kick off the Christmas season. This has been a tradition in our ...

Beautiful Mind Records

Welcome to the more random posts on my blog. These uploads can range from new music finds that I think the readers should listen to through items that are just absolutely random. This is just how my mind works, and processes information, so buckle up cause this could be a rollercoaster. This blog will focus on musical talents and how the music industry works. Artists like Ariana Grande, Drake, Jon Bellion, Logic, etc… all work for a music label. Some of these artists venture out to create their own labels to assist other rising artists. One example of this happening is with Jon Bellion. This is my favorite musical artist to listen to, the rhythm and style of his albums are never the same and in interviews, he has stated that he would rather make music that spoke to the audience, rather than following the classic four-chord structure that allows a song to become a hit. Artists like Jon Bellion have opened a door for rising groups like Lawrence the Band. Jon used his own label, Beautiful...
