As our day tends to flow, there are many obstacles we face. The world will always throw something at you that you aren't ready for. It comes in all shapes and sizes, but each day has obstacles. I've learned, over time, that each obstacle that shows up is just another part of life. I…
This blog is one of the many things I tend to do when I am trying to relax. Whether it's to wind down before bed, to de-stress in the middle of the day, or just to slow down time a bit, I turn to things like writing, reading, prayer, and listening to music. However,…
Today is my first day at my internship. Naturally, I have some butterflies. Those butterflies aren't rooted in fear - just the uncomfortable feeling of doing something new. When new opportunities come into our lives, we have to realize we don't know much at that moment about what we are doing. We have to be…
