There are hundreds of things that come to our mind each day. As we maneuver through tasks and challenges that the day provides us, we shift our focus with those changes in action. However, our focus doesn't always lock in properly to what is in front of us. We have distractions - we have emotions…
A lesson I am learning is that time always seems to move faster and faster. It does in fact fly. Many times in Mac Miller's music, arguably my favorite musician of all-time, he uttered the line "Time flies... try and catch it." Although this is a cliché, it always rang true each time I heard…
The thought of taking a moment to be still always presents itself highly in my mind. Just a second to take a breath. To think about what's happening around me. And no matter what I feel like I'm going through in that moment, I always feel calmness. That simple pause to just breathe - to…
I began this blog 3 years ago to simply try something new. To see if it helped me with life as I reflected in a new way. As you know, it has become an integral and highly meaningful part of my life and it has turned into my philanthropy, in a sense. I just love…

As I often talk about planning, I am looking at each hour of the day to see what I can accomplish. The goal: Trying to segment my time into reasonable increments to help achieve what I'm trying to achieve for the day. Of course, not every hour is full. We need to schedule our breaks…
I feel like all of us have that thing in life that bothers us way more than it should. When I was younger, when I would drop something on the floor (for example, the reoccurring fall was my toothbrush), it would really frustrate me. Whether it was something breakable or not, I would always become…
If there was one central "theme word" of my life that I had to choose, it would be "Presence". I feel as if it is a recurring theme in a lot of my writing and speaking, too. I am constantly making a concerted effort to live in the moment - to take in and experience…
