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…

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…
