This time of year I think it’s especially important to think of ways to give back. I bet you’d be surprised by how many jobs don’t even require a huge time commitment — some you don’t even have to leave your house! These positions could be great for students or stay-at-home moms who are looking for ways to lend a …
Often when we look at a personal or career goal it seems the hardest part is getting started. It’s difficult not to get stuck focusing on the obstacles in our way. I believe it’s essential to redirect our energy into finding a way under or around those roadblocks. I forwarded this email from Elena to my friend Allie Kingsley, a …
I am all for these challenges you guys are sending in! They’re thought provoking, clever, and fun. Plus, I simply just love to hear from you! Shaylie emailed me a challenge to go meatless on Mondays for one month for a list of very good reasons. The fact is, if enough of us go meatless even for only one day …
I love it when you guys send me challenges like the one below. Anne’s important message is one we should all keep in mind, at all times. Keep the challenges coming at askjuleshough@gmail.com! xo Jules Hello, Julianne! I have a challenge for you… If you choose to accept it. The past few years, I have been trying to pay more …
We all know kids can be mean. All of us have experienced bullying on some level, whether we’ve witnessed someone being bullied, been bullied ourselves, or even been the bully. Bullying isn’t only a problem for the one being targeted. It’s a problem for the school, the office, and the entire community. My friends at Kind Campaign speak out about …
I meant it when I said I’m all for you guys sending challenges my way. Please do keep them coming because I’m always game (unless it has to do with elephant dung because been there, done that.) I love this email sent-in by Jess. She’s absolutely right — many of us take the time to learn new languages, and learning …
We all have something that we say we should do differently. I know I should be avoiding screens 45 minutes before bed. Studies have proven the blue light from televisions and phones suppresses the production of melatonin, keeping us awake longer. But we both know it’s not that easy! Sometimes it feels nice to fall asleep to a movie. And …
I recently received a challenge from Jessie at Loyola University Maryland: to inform others about the Global Citizen Organization and Festival. Challenge accepted! I love that this festival unites citizens of the world to promote peace. What a beautiful way to get people on the same page to celebrate and draw attention to the issues at hand. Thank you Jessie …
One of the things I love most on my website are the challenges. Whether it’s to high-five a stranger or name three things you like about your reflection, the intent is to help us grow, gain perspective, smile, feel good, and make others feel good, too. Until I received this email from Hals, I hadn’t thought about turning the tables …
Having healthy self-esteem is something most of us have to work on constantly. Nobody feels 100% fantastic about themselves all the time, I’m pretty sure. There’s plenty of propaganda out there to make us feel like we can improve in some way, and it’s always in our face. Magazines, movies, television and especially social media can make us feel as …
