It's been a while since I've blogged! This has been due to a lot of work, moving, and school. As I have time today to write down my thoughts and reflect on the past two weeks, I started to feel like I missed out by not blogging during that. In reality, it was good I…
Sometimes when I blog, I get stuck. Sometimes when I speak, I get stuck. Sometimes when I think, I get stuck. This used to frustrate me when this happened. What I've learned, and this goes for all of life, you have to just keep going and trying. Always moving forward. If I am stuck on…
Yesterday, while on a drive, I found my mind being still. Those moments are nice. When the mind can rest and sit in the moment at hand. I then looked around, scanning the view around me on my drive. I started to point out things that I enjoyed. Things that I was thankful for. Not…
The power of words is one that I never take for granted. My quote that I like to use is that "I believe that a few words can change your day and your life." And I have always truly believed that. A few words can make or break my day, especially if they are coming…
Something that I believe that is very important is achieving a balance. I think of this mentally - how is your life positioned? How does it make you feel? Is something overwhelming you or do you feel like a piece is not there enough? When we can start to answer those questions, we can begin…
Sometimes the clichés in life can hit the hardest. The cliché of the day is thinking about how "there are 365 opportunities in a year to make a difference".

I heard a quote today saying "I have too much to lose, I have to be cautious." I have always connected "caution" to "fear". A negative connection, but I understand the sentiment behind this quote. I just hate the thought of living in fear - doing ANYTHING in fear. When you truly sit down and…
One of the things I have wrestled with the most throughout my life is overthinking. For as long as I can remember, I often put my mind through stress by getting stuck on the idea of something and continuing to flood my brain with thoughts (whether positive or negative). We all do this as humans.…
In life, we develop many connections. These connections can be to people, to activities, to feelings, etc. We get to a certain point of life where we learn what connections feel right and what connections feel off. We get to a point where a combination of our feelings and our knowledge give us the insight…
It's funny watching lingo change over time. Words can change meaning quickly and keeping up with the times can become difficult if you aren't plugged in. A word that is thrown around a lot is "vibe". When I think about how people use "that is a vibe" or simply commenting "vibes" on social posts, it…
