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…
The reality of going through change is that there will be ups and downs. Emotions can rollercoaster, the mind can wander. When you are keeping busy, it seems easy to put the heavy stuff on the back burner. But, we eventually have to face those pieces of change head-on when it all slows down. We…
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…

It's hard to always be open. Keeping lines of communication available as you work to process what life is throwing at you is a lot. However, it's important. It is important in order to function within each moment of the day. We should let our inward emotions and thoughts come out (in the right ways)…
When I was younger, I remember a poster in my school classroom with a quote about the value of integrity. It was describing how integrity stands as "what you do when no one is watching." I also view integrity as valuing your actions. When we make choices to do something, are we proud of what…
I always have goals. I always see ways I feel I can improve for myself and for others. However, I oftentimes reserve those ways to be geared towards improvement for the world around me and for others. I oftentimes don't know what I truly want for myself. Beyond the basic feelings of joy, contentment, peace...…
Any time that I reflect on learning, I pull from any experience that feels relevant to what I am going through in the present moment.
