With the amount of tasks that each of us have to do every day, it can often appear overwhelming. It's never fun to wake up and immediately feel stressed. However, I often find that breaking it down into "simple" steps helps guide me through a day. Whether the day is incredibly busy or completely tame,…
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.

I always take note of…
The busyness of life sometimes brings us to get lost in everyday tasks. In the last two weeks, I have been busy. I am a little sad I didn't make time to blog, but it happens. It would be different if it was a really tough, grind-through two weeks but it hasn't - it's been…
As humans, we are always wanting our lives to be aligned exactly how we see fit. Every day, we have to wait for something to come - usually, it's just for a shift at work, the alarm to wake us, the car ride home, for the oven to finish cooking our dinner, etc. When…
