I've been thinking a lot about my goals lately. I have new goals every day and oftentimes, they change based on what is going on around me/in my life. We should always be motivated to reach our goals, but sometimes I find myself just "hoping" that my goals are achieved. It's not that I don't…
As you know, last week (a week ago today) I made a post about how I was sick and pushing through that. Well, the last 6 days were pretty rough! (Hence my week-long absence from posting.) I had bad flu-like symptoms on Tuesday and Wednesday, then Thursday and Friday my voice was completely gone and…
2020 has arrived! I am super excited about the upcoming year, as I have a lot going on that I can't want to be a part of. When I was thinking about my personal, health, and work goals for 2020, I started to write them as resolutions... things I wanted to "change" or "add"…
Over the past 24 hours, I've been very critical of myself. I am being nitpicky about what I want to be better at, what I need to "fix". Originally, it was solely in a negative outlook. I was looking at these things in my life and viewing them as "you're not good enough". It…
As I work harder on keeping my mind focused on the present and truly experiencing life, I am realizing that the gift of life is multi-faceted.

Unfortunately, I'm starting the week off sick. Coughing, stuffed up and feeling a bit weak. Overall, just not a good time! However, I am reminded of my work ethic and that I can easily make my way through this. (I kinda have to because I have a busier school week). Nonetheless, I want to…
Personal improvement can be difficult. You have to identify where you need to improve, you need to know how to improve, and you have to put those actions into action. The hardest part for me is not being aware of what I am doing or what I need to do, it is getting myself in…
I think about the saying "Play the hand you have been dealt" quite often. Sometimes because of the practical purpose of the saying, in that, you get dealt a different hand each day, and we have to work with what we have. It is not always the hand we want, but it is the hand…
I have a word document that I consistently update titled "Life". It is a compilation of things in life that I love, that I don't love, that I have learned about myself, what I want going forward, what I thought about the past, bucket lists, reminders, and much more. It's a bunch of lists about…
Confidence is hard to obtain on a daily basis, let alone to hold on to. I recognize how important it is to have confidence flowing through my veins to be the best that I can be. As Bobby Jones once said, the 5.5 inches between your ears has to be in the right place!…
