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…
Yesterday, while on a drive, I found my mind being still. Those moments are nice. When the mind can rest and sit in the moment at hand. I then looked around, scanning the view around me on my drive. I started to point out things that I enjoyed. Things that I was thankful for. Not…
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…

And when I think about this, there truly is an unbelievable number of opportunities that present themselves in a year. A lot can change, a lot…
I heard a quote today saying "I have too much to lose, I have to be cautious." I have always connected "caution" to "fear". A negative connection, but I understand the sentiment behind this quote. I just hate the thought of living in fear - doing ANYTHING in fear. When you truly sit down and…
One of the things I have wrestled with the most throughout my life is overthinking. For as long as I can remember, I often put my mind through stress by getting stuck on the idea of something and continuing to flood my brain with thoughts (whether positive or negative). We all do this as humans.…
Every day, I feel like I am pushed and pulled by people, things, and life into different directions, different mindsets. I talk a lot about keeping a constant focus on your goals, but the best way to do that is to remain yourself through all of the pushing and pulling. People, things, life will get…
