As humans, we are always wanting our lives to be aligned exactly how we see fit. Every day, we have to wait for something to come - usually, it's just for a shift at work, the alarm to wake us, the car ride home, for the oven to finish cooking our dinner, etc. When…
Last night, I spent around 30 minutes outside in my backyard enjoying the sunset turn to the night and the beautiful weather here in Kansas City. I had music on and once it got to the calmer section of the playlist, I began to try to meditate. I don't meditate often, and many times, I…
