In January 2021, I returned from a vacation trip to Seattle and stumbled across a bathroom scale that I had stowed away and thought "I haven't weighed myself in a while" and pulled it out from under the sink. I stepped on and read "204.5" - this was the most I had ever weighed and…

P.L.
I turned 25 one month ago. In that month, I've spent a lot of time in reflection (as I always do) but also in self-improvement. Much deeper, specific self-improvement this time. In this month, I have found areas of my faith, my relationships, and my physical + mental health that I really care about and…
PF&J.
Some days it seems you feel nothing. Some days it seems you feel everything. Your body and mind begin to have to adjust quickly from these extremes, which is difficult to do. I think of it analogically as being in the "extreme sandwich". In my life, I have always been on one side or the…
What’s going on?
As we intake our surroundings daily and see what's going on, there are constant changes. Right now in my life, there's not too much. I don't mean that I am bored or lacking in action. I am working, to my best ability, on maintaining focus in the areas I want to improve upon in my…
“I Know”
During times of reflection, we take a look back at how our decisions affected our day. I try not to be obsessive with "rights" and "wrongs", but hindsight is always 20/20. My mind doesn't like the feeling of ignoring the "right" and "wrongs", but I won't get anywhere being so narrow. So, as I open…
The Chase of the Race.
Life constantly feels like we are chasing something. Whether old or new... An opportunity, a goal... We are always running after something in hopes to obtain it for our lives. Lately, for me, I have begun to analyze those pieces that I am chasing. And I am deciding to walk for now. I feel that…
Yes.
A little over a week ago, I spoke on the power of "no" and what it is doing in my life. I also spoke on the power of "yes" briefly, but noted that I hadn't found the pieces that encompass the "yes" items in my life. I had a small moment of realization this morning…
no.
There can be a lot of power packed into just a couple of letters. The simple, but defining words of "yes" and "no" have just about as much power as any word in our English arsenal. Today, I am going to focus on the latter. I mentioned in my recent post(s) that I am focused…
Best Day Ever.
1/18/2023 There are some days when you just wake up feeling motivated. You see a vision for the day, and you work to take action on that vision. Most days, recently, I feel like I can really get a lot done in order to follow through on these visions. The "What CAN I do today?"…
Traction.
2023 is here, and with that comes ambitions, goals, etc. for the new year ahead for all of us. I have always tried to be mindful of the word "resolution". The definition of the word "resolution" is "a firm decision to do or not to do something." As I have learned over my life thus…
