There are hundreds of things that come to our mind each day. As we maneuver through tasks and challenges that the day provides us, we shift our focus with those changes in action. However, our focus doesn't always lock in properly to what is in front of us. We have distractions - we have emotions…
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…
We can be hungry in many ways. Physically, we are hungry multiple times a day, and our body needs nutrients to keep going. Mentally, we are hungry for the right focus and thoughts as we think through our day. Emotionally, we are hungry for stability and achieving a peace. Socially, we are hungry for the…
As the saying goes, "history repeats itself." Oftentimes, in life, we see similar or the same experiences happen many times over as we maneuver through our days.

You would think that what comes next in life would be easy to see. It should be right in front of you, right? Well, it usually doesn't end up being what was thought to be next for us. Other times, we can't even find what's next. We feel stuck - we feel as if we…
As I began my graduate studies yesterday, I already had a takeaway from my business courses that is very applicable to every day application. I am a huge fan of that - any time that I can find something in one place that I know can make a difference everywhere, it brings a smile to…
