Friday Favorites: The ONE Thing

I just finished listening to The One Thing by Gary W. Keller and Jay Papasan, and I enjoyed it so much I’ve decided to make it my Friday Favorite!

The book inspired me to create a strong plan of action, focusing on my ultimate goal and working backwards to what I should be doing now.

As I become older, I am more interested in overall prevention and in a better place to track possible triggers. I have established several of my triggers at this point (hormones, weather, and caffeine), but I am concerned about my recent increase in frequency. As a result, I’ve been looking for different information on migraine causes.

Today I want to try something I little different: a round-up post. This post will focus on finances and overall lifestyle. I’m not an expert in any field, but I love to learn and grow.
