One of the greatest internal challenges I face in my mind and soul each day is dealing with my emotions. I have always felt that my emotional connection to life and my reflective personality has made for some powerful emotional experiences, which have created a lot of wonderful learning and growth in my emotional intelligence.…
I cry often. Many of these times are from deeply connecting to music. It's not even "sad" crying - it's the strength of emotion, overcome by the relation I have, or the understanding I have, of what the person is saying or singing. Music has always meant a lot to me, and I always reflect…
It's funny watching lingo change over time. Words can change meaning quickly and keeping up with the times can become difficult if you aren't plugged in. A word that is thrown around a lot is "vibe". When I think about how people use "that is a vibe" or simply commenting "vibes" on social posts, it…
I have spoken before about the prominence of "circles" in our lives. Many things in life feel like a cycle and you can draw out some of these things, seeing where they started and how they returned to this point. Some of these things good - some of these things bad. I made a post…
