I turn 24 years old today. Otherwise seeming to be known as my "Kobe" year, in reference to Kobe Bryant. Kobe Bryant's death was one of two celebrity deaths that made me cry. I will never forget where I was. I had just given a speech at a fraternity event in college in downtown Kansas…
I decided to take some time to meditate tonight on my balcony, watching the sunset, followed by the moon taking over the sky. It was a lovely evening outside to just sit and breathe. I am thankful, also, as the leaves change and fall, I can now see more of the sky and the surroundings…
As I reflect on my progress this morning toward some of my goals or just on the steps I want to take to try and improve things in my life, I find that momentum is not a perfectly flowing thing. There are days that are perfect - days that allow me to complete multiple tasks…
Today has been a struggle. The past month of my life has been an emotional rollercoaster and I felt like today would be a day that would be good to reflect on my blog. When I write a blog post, I am trying to put my recent thoughts and feelings on the page in an…

"I'm trying to think of the right thing to say..." Those lyrics, from the song "Passionfruit" by Drake, played in my ears as I had the idea to talk about the importance of response. Pretty fitting! I have spoken a lot about the value I place on words. With that, much of that value is…
As I maneuvered through my day a few days ago, my phone buzzed in my pocket. I gazed at my phone with a soft smile and a warmed heart - I was notified by WordPress that I have reached over 10,000 views of my blog here (in over 60 countries), "Nelson Searcy's Thought Sharing". When…
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…
