On a surprisingly snowy day in Kansas City, I am working on typical tasks in front of me today: Work, school, etc. And as I maneuver through those things, I do this thing called "worry" about the tasks ahead. Crazy, right? It's amazing how often we worry and stress about tasks that are very familiar…
People, Places, Feelings, Actions, Situations - We deal with a lot every day... We truly do. We go through a lot, we have a lot on our plates, and we somehow have to manage these things. A management tool that I like to use is positional awareness. To be aware of where I am in…
As The Masters Tournament begins today in the world of golf, many life lessons I've learned from 16+ years of golfing begin circling in my head during a moment of reflection. 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.…

We can be hungry in many ways. Physically, we are hungry multiple times a day, and our body needs nutrients to keep going. Mentally, we are hungry for the right focus and thoughts as we think through our day. Emotionally, we are hungry for stability and achieving a peace. Socially, we are hungry for the…
As the saying goes, "history repeats itself." Oftentimes, in life, we see similar or the same experiences happen many times over as we maneuver through our days. We learn from these repeated scenarios and can recognize things about them in our lives as they happen. Learning comes from experience. However, sometimes we learn that this…
