A little over a week ago, I spoke on the power of "no" and what it is doing in my life. I also spoke on the power of "yes" briefly, but noted that I hadn't found the pieces that encompass the "yes" items in my life. I had a small moment of realization this morning…
1/18/2023 There are some days when you just wake up feeling motivated. You see a vision for the day, and you work to take action on that vision. Most days, recently, I feel like I can really get a lot done in order to follow through on these visions. The "What CAN I do today?"…
I had a significant realization when I first began going to counseling in 2018. At that time in my life, I was frustrated about the lack of connection I felt with those around me and felt like my reflection wasn't getting me anywhere (I had just started practicing active reflection). My counselor stopped me in…
I decided to take some time to meditate tonight on my balcony, watching the sunset, followed by the moon taking over the sky. It was a lovely evening outside to just sit and breathe. I am thankful, also, as the leaves change and fall, I can now see more of the sky and the surroundings…
As I reflect on my progress this morning toward some of my goals or just on the steps I want to take to try and improve things in my life, I find that momentum is not a perfectly flowing thing. There are days that are perfect - days that allow me to complete multiple tasks…

Today's thoughts are short and sweet for me. I still wanted to share them, though. During a time of change, uncertainty, and soul-searching, we aren't always 100% in it. Focus can waver, emotions come and go, and just a lot going on. All I feel I can do is think, feel, and reflect on what…
I want to write about my confusion. It seems to be the root of my experiences lately. I am trying to understand my thoughts and feelings. I don't know. I do things and feel things and it seems straightforward, but I dive beneath the surface and it is all murky. Why am I feeling insecure?…
I know my twenties are really my time to go and get it. My brain is fully developing, I'm still young with energy, and I feel like I have time to do so many things. In the midst of that, I am working on balancing my wants and needs. I should know those things... But…
"I'm trying to think of the right thing to say..." Those lyrics, from the song "Passionfruit" by Drake, played in my ears as I had the idea to talk about the importance of response. Pretty fitting! I have spoken a lot about the value I place on words. With that, much of that value is…
