Imagine you will completely lose your memory of 2010 in five minutes. Set an alarm for five minutes and capture the things you most want to remember about 2010.
These fruits that grow in Jamaica remind me on little miniature brains (but they taste really good with eggs).
This was sort of a good exercise, except by nature of the exercise and having been reflecting on the past year for over a week now, mostly what came to mind were the big life-changing moments of 2010 or just the really exciting moments. I . . . → Read More: Learning to Remember
By Carlee Mallard, on May 3rd, 2010% Today marks the official first day of my new career. It’s taken nearly a year to get here after a lot of doubt and uncertainty, but also so much motivation and drive.
You see, a year ago (and for the past year), I was unhappy in my job. In fact I was unhappy in my job even before I really knew it and certainly before I told myself that I needed to start looking for something else. Just 3 months into my new full-time job I wrote in my personal journal:
“I feel unstimulated because my job is not . . . → Read More: Finally, The First Day Of My New Career
By Carlee Mallard, on January 7th, 2010% I did much better in November with 3 weeks than in December with 4 weeks. December is one of those months that just falls into a black hole. Family comes in to town and somehow you’re mind is warped into believing that a regular routine and goals are so passĂ©. Let’s give the review a whirl anyways:
1. Do all the “easy” stuff that I just never seem to make time for. Finally got my car checked out. Made a dentist appointment, went to original appointment, and knocked out 3 additional appointments all before December 29th (although these . . . → Read More: January 2010 Monthly Goal Meetup

I wrote the following essay for my college composition class freshman year (so please forgive the poor/formal writing style!) about Richard Rodriguez’s autobiographical exploration about the end of his education. I was reading over it the other day and realized that some of the main ideas in this paper would be interesting to revisit now that I’ve graduated college and am trying to find ways to continue learning in a post-formal-education life. I discovered while reading Richard Rodriguez’s “The Achievement of Desire” that there is a stark difference between what I believe he refers to as the “end . . . → Read More: The End of Education
By Carlee Mallard, on December 3rd, 2009% Oh yes, I definitely made those scrumptious looking cheese & ham puffs, and that was one of my goals for November! Now on to a recap of my November goals with my new December goals to follow:
1. Get out all of my holiday cards before Thanksgiving. They were all in the mail the day before Thanksgiving, but honestly I would have been really disappointed in myself if I didn’t make this happen considering I’m in the business of marketing and urged all of my clients to get their own holiday cards out early this year, too!
2. Create . . . → Read More: December Monthly Goal Meetup
By Carlee Mallard, on November 10th, 2009% I discovered the “Monthly Goal Meet-Up” group on Brazencareerist.com and at first assumed it was an actual meet-up in person in the flesh thing and felt so left out! Silly me; this is an online community after all.
So now I’m really quite relieved that I can join this already strong monthly goal group and I don’t have to start one myself. See, I’ve been telling myself for a few weeks now that I need just take a few minutes to write down my goals. I took the time to write 1 goal. And it was lofty. A “this . . . → Read More: November Monthly Goal Meet-Up
