(Re) Chic

I'm not very proud of myself this month. I feel pretty wimpy when it comes to the goal achieving. 1. Go to the gym AND work out -I did not do this...I'm defending myself by saying that I was sick for most of the month.   2. Start practicing my translations again (special thanks to Josh for getting me a bunch of great books in French for our anniversary) -I have no defense *hangs head in shame* 3. Finish 2 books (one self-help book and one for pleasure) -I read "V for Vendetta" which I'm not sure counts because its more of a graphic novel and I STARTED a self-help book and ordered myself one.   4. Reach 500 followers on Twitter -still not there :( But we're working on it.   5.  Blog once/week -My one success... Hopefully we can do better in October. 

Now that we've got August out of the way. Let's get back down to business and get some goals reached! 1. Go to the gym AND work out (this seems silly...but given the last time I felt it needed to be said) 2. Start practicing my translations again (special thanks to Josh for getting me a bunch of great books in French for our anniversary) 3. Finish 2 books (one self-help book and one for pleasure) 4. Reach 500 followers on Twitter...I WILL get there!  5.  Blog once/week Happy Holiday Weekend! 

I am ashamed to say that I did not post anything in honor of Suicide Prevention Week.  However, today I was shown this website curated by The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.   It was shown to me because you can order publications on particular Mental Health and Substance Abuse topics that interest you.  You can find articles on everything from alchohol abuse to workforce trends and I think its fantastic that there is such a great free resource for people out there.  There are also over 70 articles on Suicide Prevention which is a great link to use this month as last year there were more suicides in Warren & Clinton County in September than any other month.  So if you're at all interested in any of these topics I highly recommend checking out SAMSHA's website I know I'll be ordering some things!
