In life, I value connectionships. Yeah, that's not really a word, but let me explain what a connectionship is to me - we all have them. I have relationships with many people in my life - coworkers, family, friends, alumni, my girlfriend, etc. However, I don't have a true connection with all of those relationships.…
As I began my graduate studies yesterday, I already had a takeaway from my business courses that is very applicable to every day application. I am a huge fan of that - any time that I can find something in one place that I know can make a difference everywhere, it brings a smile to…
With the amount of tasks that each of us have to do every day, it can often appear overwhelming. It's never fun to wake up and immediately feel stressed. However, I often find that breaking it down into "simple" steps helps guide me through a day. Whether the day is incredibly busy or completely tame,…
Sometimes a few words can make all the difference.

I am writing to you all from Seattle, WA. Currently looking out at the water, the skyscrapers, and the Space Needle from our Air BnB. It's a blessing to be able to travel and do new things. As I spend some time away from home, I am finding new things to enjoy. Whether it be…
As the page turns from 2020 to 2021, we are all eager to see what comes next. The text on everyone's page will look different, but I wanted to discuss our outlooks on the new year (and really, our individual futures in general). I personally spent some time earlier this week writing down my goals…
In reflecting on the thanksgiving holiday and the year 2020 beginning to wrap up, I have been reminded lately of the many things I am grateful and thankful for in my life. I wanted to take a moment to thank you all, my readers, for being a part of my life's journey. I am thankful…
