I bounce back and forth when I think about the idea of everything having meaning. So many little things in life pass me by and I don't see them as important. However, lately, I have been trying to take all of these little things, along with the big things, into account. I am trying to…
Any time that something happens in our lives, the question always seems to be "Why?" Why did that happen? Why do I feel this way? Why is that person acting that way? Why now? I have learned how to look at my "Why?" questions as a whole piece. My why's have become an acronym of…
I feel awfully at peace today. It just popped out of nowhere, really. How does one get to a place of peace? For me, it can come through a few ways, but today it came from feeling aligned with life. It feels like the place I am in and what I see in front…
This blog is one of the many things I tend to do when I am trying to relax. Whether it's to wind down before bed, to de-stress in the middle of the day, or just to slow down time a bit, I turn to things like writing, reading, prayer, and listening to music. However,…
"Patience is a virtue." As I've discussed before, I have been in a period where I've had to wait for things to come. I knew they were coming (and they were good things), but I couldn't do anything about them because it wasn't time yet. Now that the time has come for these things…

I came across a tweet the other day that was a gentle reminder to use the time you have (however much that may be) to communicate with those around you. Communication is key, and you never know what doors each key may open. This is going to be a shorter post today, but I…
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…
I really like the saying "home is where the heart is". Comfort, love, and peace - all feelings we associate with feeling at home. I always want to feel at home, wherever I am in life. When your heart is full, you are at home. The key is filling your heart with the right…
Throughout my golf career, I learned a valuable lesson each time I played: I play better, physically and mentally, when I am focused on the present. Don't focus on the bad shot I hit 2 holes ago, and don't focus on the difficult hole that is coming up. Focus on the task at hand. One…
