As we all work through a trial, a task, a time in our lives, we have to realize that everything comes at random times. All of the planning we can do never quite compares to the time that things arrive. Knowing this, patience becomes a bit of a process. Although we can't always plan for…
There are many things in life that I stress the importance of. I work to give myself constant reminders of these pieces. I always want them to be a part of my daily living and experiences. Perhaps one of the most important pieces that I often forgo is having fun. I always just expect to…
We are always seeking for ways that we can help the world around us. Many of us are considered "people pleasers" where we are searching how we can use our skillsets to satisfy the needs of others. No matter what, we all feel good when we can help someone. Whether that is through work, through…
