How many things are we trying to figure out today? There are many puzzles in life that we try to maneuver through each day... All of them being a part of the greater puzzle of life. Pieces galore, all part of the picture of our lives. Our picture is sometimes (we feel) near complete,…
Being scared is normal. Those butterflies, feelings of unease, nervousness, sweaty palms. That is a normal reaction to anything that you put weight/value in. Whether that be a job interview, a competitive event, a first date, or a test, it's totally normal to have those feelings. However, there is a difference between being scared…
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 drove to campus from my "home" home, after house sitting in Lee's Summit (about a 30-minute drive). During that drive, I got to experience the cool, clean weather we have this morning.
