It's been a minute since I last wrote or published anything for Brette's Bliss because I've been moving (and a few other factors). I decided to move for a variety of reasons, primarily for more career opportunities. As I wrote in my "I wasn't prepared for life after college" post, finding a job after graduation [...]
I just graduated! Actually, I graduated back in August (Like I said I would in my graduation post here). It's been over a month now and I will be honest, life after graduating is not what I thought it would be, while also exactly like I thought it would be. I used to be scared [...]
I haven't posted since April, which is quite a long time, but I have my reasons and I also know that those reasons are no longer an issue. So back in June, I walked in commencement and "graduated." I didn't actually graduate. But I will! I hadn't completed an internship yet so I technically couldn't [...]
I don't know why, and I'm not the first to say it, but winter terms on quarter schedules are really hard regardless of course load and situation in life. This term is not an exception for me and I find that every winter term seems to get worse. Regardless of that, this last winter term [...]
It's the end of the first week of September. It's still hot as hell (WHERE ARE YOU FALL?) and I've been preparing for a 10 day road trip that I start this weekend. I realized, I really haven't done anything recently (or ever) to tell you about me and my life (outside of my phone [...]
Thank you letters are important and we should get back into the practice of sending thank yous in emails, letters, or notes.

I can’t remember when I first heard or read this, but it was within the last six months, but I am not obligated to be productive. Especially during my spare time. After reading Overwhelmed, I realized I was wasting my leisure time by trying to be productive.
It's been well over a year since I went to Paris and I’m still in awe of what an amazing opportunity it was. Here is my post about my trip to Paris. I loved most of the experience, but there were a few things I did not like about the experience. I compiled some things [...]
There is work, and there is busy work. Busy work is generally meaningless. If you say “I’m busy” instead of “I was working on signing a few contracts that will bring my office a lot of new business,” you devalue the work you are doing. If you say “I’m busy that day” instead of “I am spending time with family that day” you are devaluing the activity of being with family.
How well do you know yourself? Are you living the life you want to live? Is your life really complicated and difficult right now? Am I living the Life I want to Live? I used to think I was the worst kind of blank slate, that I lacked genuine personality, and was a completely different [...]
