One of the greatest battles we face as humans is understanding mistakes. When we make a mistake, we have to understand the commonality of human error. We are not always on our A-game and there are millions of things going on around us that we have no control over. For myself, I have many goals…
When we look at our goals, we often think that something is "required" in order for our goals to come true. When we require ourselves to HAVE to do something, that creates a lot of pressure. Unnecessary pressure. Unnecessary pressure is something we never want, especially when we do it to ourselves. I have had…
Lately I have been realizing the importance of being still. I always feel the need to be doing something, thinking about something, listening to something. This week, especially today, I am taking the time to sit and be still. I often place my mind in places where it seems to be "escaping", but in reality…
There are many things in my life that I am figuring out for the first time. I am always learning - whether it's age 2, 22, or 102, we are always learning new things. When new things come into our lives (thoughts, people, opportunities, etc.) we won't know what to do most of the time.…
In most days of our lives, we discover a new door of opportunity. I've found that many times, those doors have been there for a while, we just haven't been quite aware that they are there.

There are many things in life that I stress the importance of. I work to give myself constant reminders of these pieces. I always want them to be a part of my daily living and experiences. Perhaps one of the most important pieces that I often forgo is having fun. I always just expect to…
We are always seeking for ways that we can help the world around us. Many of us are considered "people pleasers" where we are searching how we can use our skillsets to satisfy the needs of others. No matter what, we all feel good when we can help someone. Whether that is through work, through…
It's been a while since I've blogged! This has been due to a lot of work, moving, and school. As I have time today to write down my thoughts and reflect on the past two weeks, I started to feel like I missed out by not blogging during that. In reality, it was good I…
Sometimes when I blog, I get stuck. Sometimes when I speak, I get stuck. Sometimes when I think, I get stuck. This used to frustrate me when this happened. What I've learned, and this goes for all of life, you have to just keep going and trying. Always moving forward. If I am stuck on…
