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…
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…
On a surprisingly snowy day in Kansas City, I am working on typical tasks in front of me today: Work, school, etc. And as I maneuver through those things, I do this thing called "worry" about the tasks ahead. Crazy, right? It's amazing how often we worry and stress about tasks that are very familiar…
I have spoken before about the prominence of "circles" in our lives. Many things in life feel like a cycle and you can draw out some of these things, seeing where they started and how they returned to this point. Some of these things good - some of these things bad. I made a post…

When I write things down, whether it be for planning purposes, for journaling purposes, or just casually writing, I like to use my notebook. When I write in my notebook, whatever "form" it may be in, I am writing on those lines. I also am sometimes creating lines along the way within my writing (i.e.…
The thought of taking a moment to be still always presents itself highly in my mind. Just a second to take a breath. To think about what's happening around me. And no matter what I feel like I'm going through in that moment, I always feel calmness. That simple pause to just breathe - to…
I began this blog 3 years ago to simply try something new. To see if it helped me with life as I reflected in a new way. As you know, it has become an integral and highly meaningful part of my life and it has turned into my philanthropy, in a sense. I just love…
We can be hungry in many ways. Physically, we are hungry multiple times a day, and our body needs nutrients to keep going.
