The power of words is one that I never take for granted. My quote that I like to use is that "I believe that a few words can change your day and your life." And I have always truly believed that. A few words can make or break my day, especially if they are coming…
Time is a great metaphor, a great reminder, and a great asset to our lives. I find myself often looking at the clock in thankfulness rather than anxiety. We have many pieces in life that we make time for. We always have some time as the clock spins. The clock, to me, is a helpful…
Something that I believe that is very important is achieving a balance. I think of this mentally - how is your life positioned? How does it make you feel? Is something overwhelming you or do you feel like a piece is not there enough? When we can start to answer those questions, we can begin…
Sometimes the clichés in life can hit the hardest. The cliché of the day is thinking about how "there are 365 opportunities in a year to make a difference".

As I watched the beginning of the broadcast, I saw a few players hit some wayward shots, and as the broadcasters analyzed these misses,…
When I write things down, whether it be for planning purposes, for journaling purposes, or just casually writing, I like to use my notebook. When I write in my notebook, whatever "form" it may be in, I am writing on those lines. I also am sometimes creating lines along the way within my writing (i.e.…
A lot happens in a day. It truly does. From the highs to the lows, we experience many actions, feelings, emotions, people, places, and things throughout one day on this Earth. And when we end the day, we get that time to process and balance ourselves as we sleep to reset for the next day.…
