Your heart is an important item - physically and emotionally. Your physical heart is there to help you be able to live and function. Your emotional heart is there to help you make decisions and feel what is important. In both ways, I feel as if I haven't done a good enough job…
As human nature provides, all of us want to have control of what goes on around us. That way, we could make everything be on our own timeline. We could make everything align with the exact idea we have on how something should work. We could make things so much easier for ourselves. But,…
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…

I find it fascinating how easy it is for the mind to wander... Wander into areas of no thought, random thought, and every thought. I feel my mind wander back and forth between these mindsets. It's hard to hold a point of focus sometimes when the central thought bubble is always changing. What I…
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. Often times, I think that life just brings learning and struggle, when in reality the times that I truly experience life bring me feelings of joy, connection, etc. I've…
