We are a little over a month into 2021, so I started reflecting on my goals I set for myself on the 1st of the year. I reflected on them not so much to look at my progress thus far, but to remind myself of what I'm working towards. Each goal I set for myself…
You would think that what comes next in life would be easy to see. It should be right in front of you, right? Well, it usually doesn't end up being what was thought to be next for us. Other times, we can't even find what's next. We feel stuck - we feel as if we…
As you may have seen on my social media recently, I am beginning to make an emphasis on what I believe in. We all have a lot of beliefs, but this specific belief I am talking about comes from what I believe I can do in the world. I want to use my platforms, my…
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 am currently in the latter-half of a book called "Wherever You Go There You Are" which teaches how to maintain presence, meditation, and focus throughout daily life. One of the chapters I read this morning talked about mountains and how we can view our day as we are the mountain - everything moves around…
Sometimes our surroundings can mean everything. They can dictate our mood, our schedule, our plans. Whether these be in weather, in city, in work, in people, in home - it can all mean so much. Some are more productive in the sunshine - some more productive in the rain. Some more productive in the noise…
Every moment of life provides us with different feelings. Whether that be feelings that our 5 physical senses present ourselves with (a smell, a taste, a touch, etc.) or a feeling that our mind sends through our body and makes us think about (happy, content, anxious, etc.) I went through a time in my life…
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…
