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 I have now completed my undergraduate studies at Rockhurst University, I am starting to think a bit more about my future. Where I want to go, what I want to do, how I can try to get there, etc. My goals - my dreams - are ahead of me. I have experienced something…
As this is a time where the world has slowed down a bit, I am sure we are all reflecting a bit. This morning, I am reflecting on my reminders. I made a post when the year 2020 started about my 2020 "reminders". I don't like to make resolutions - I just set…

As I continue to reflect on my goals/reminders for myself in 2020 and look at my current to-do list, things can become stressful. I don't handle stress the best, but I start to handle it better when I take a step back... So that's what I did today. The step back I took today…
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 today is Veteran's Day, we remember all of those who have served our country of the United States of America in battle. I will be forever thankful for those who have served, currently serve, and will serve. With today in mind being the theme of remembrance, it makes me think about us as…
Sitting in the past is useful at times. Reflection is okay, but living in the past can be dangerous. I specifically take time out of my day to reflect, but once it's done, I work hard to move forward. I'm not perfect, and sometimes I do look back, but I am always working to move…
