We can be hungry in many ways. Physically, we are hungry multiple times a day, and our body needs nutrients to keep going. Mentally, we are hungry for the right focus and thoughts as we think through our day. Emotionally, we are hungry for stability and achieving a peace. Socially, we are hungry for the…
As the saying goes, "history repeats itself." Oftentimes, in life, we see similar or the same experiences happen many times over as we maneuver through our days. We learn from these repeated scenarios and can recognize things about them in our lives as they happen. Learning comes from experience. However, sometimes we learn that this…
I feel like all of us have that thing in life that bothers us way more than it should. When I was younger, when I would drop something on the floor (for example, the reoccurring fall was my toothbrush), it would really frustrate me. Whether it was something breakable or not, I would always become…
Life moves fast. Every day, we find moments where we are in a sprint in order to keep up with life. However, we also have moments in a day that we can take a breath - analyze - slow it all down. Those moments are just as important as when we have to keep up.…

You would think that what comes next in life would be easy to see. It should be right in front of you, right? Well, it usually doesn't end up being what was thought to be next for us. Other times, we can't even find what's next. We feel stuck - we feel as if we…
As you may have seen on my social media recently, I am beginning to make an emphasis on what I believe in. We all have a lot of beliefs, but this specific belief I am talking about comes from what I believe I can do in the world. I want to use my platforms, my…
In life, I value connectionships. Yeah, that's not really a word, but let me explain what a connectionship is to me - we all have them.
