We can do Hard Things!

Chip Gaines (from HGTV's 'Fixer Upper') has a saying with his kids, "the Gaineses can do hard things." > I want our kids to be drawn to what's uncomfortable because the good stuff takes work. It's an honor to do

You, yes YOU! Send me Dick pics!

Okay so I was in Google Analytics last night and 762 of you are repeat readers???!!! What?? I do nothing to encourage people to come back! 😂 WHO ARE YOU?????!!!! I want to know! So for the next week, I'm opening up my Twitter DMs to anyone. I'

How to get good at anything

Yesterday I wrote a post [https://www.madisontaskett.com/how/] in just 10 minutes and it was pretty good! I'm proud of it. I can write impactful things so quickly, because every night for the last year, I've written (whether I've posted or not)

When will you be a success?

It's after midnight. I spent all night writing a post that ended up being too personal to publish (and it wasn't that great anyhow). But it's my honor to write each night even if it's bad, even if I have to throw

Sugar, we're going down

Last month, I realized that caffeine makes me manic [https://www.madisontaskett.com/done-with-caffeine/].

This week I tried eating chocolate cake and ice cream, and

Night Dancing through Life

Rest

Okay, that was the last thing I'll do today, now I really need to allow myself to rest. It's okay to rest. It's okay to rest. It's okay to rest. It's okay to rest. It's okay to rest.

Will I still be me without the drugs?

I've spent the last year cutting out a lot of my 'drugs' (people and workaholism are my main fixes) but I haven't cut all the chaos out of my life yet. Because I'm scared. What if, underneath the addictions, there is nothing?

My fairy godmother is an old man named Chip

> "Maybe you'll be able to retire by the time you're 40!" "Haha, we'll see Dad. I love you!" I hung up and reflected. I'm doing okay financially, but it was a real road to get here, and

Tarot Card Readers = Business Coaches?

I'm at an occult bookstore to get my cards read for the first time. Melissa, my  friend who is about as woo-woo as I am (aka, not at all) recommended it, and even though I excitedly agreed, now I'm feeling a bit scared and I don&

Drinking 'Fuck You' Champagne

Rituals are important. This bottle of champagne, a gift from a figure in my past, has been sitting on the bottom of my fridge, haunting me for months. I was going to throw it away, but my then-roommate said, 'You should drink it instead, as a fuck you.'

Done with caffeine?

I rarely drink caffeine, I think today was the first time I've drank it all year, and I don't feel like myself. I feel high, I really feel high, and it feels really good and really terrible at the same time. And I feel like acting
