As I maneuvered through this weekend, I found myself being influenced by many people and many things around me. Not peer pressure, more like suggested options from other sources as to what to think, feel and do. I let other options brood in my mind, not really acting on them. When I think about…
It's amazing how 24 hours ago I was flying through 1,000,000 thoughts and this morning I'm bopping to some music and loving life. I'd say my mood changed 5 times yesterday. My mind is just a constant switch, that sometimes I don't have control of. But, at the same time, I feel like I do…
Unfortunately, I'm starting the week off sick. Coughing, stuffed up and feeling a bit weak. Overall, just not a good time! However, I am reminded of my work ethic and that I can easily make my way through this. (I kinda have to because I have a busier school week). Nonetheless, I want to…

Confidence is hard to obtain on a daily basis, let alone to hold on to. I recognize how important it is to have confidence flowing through my veins to be the best that I can be. As Bobby Jones once said, the 5.5 inches between your ears has to be in the right place!…
As I make my way through each week of life, I have many takeaways. I like to write them down and think about what I have learned and have experienced so that I can apply it going forward. This week, my main takeaways were these: Being busy is good, but sometimes you need rest. Try…
