I feel like all of us have that thing in life that bothers us way more than it should. When I was younger, when I would drop something on the floor (for example, the reoccurring fall was my toothbrush), it would really frustrate me. Whether it was something breakable or not, I would always become…
Life moves fast. Every day, we find moments where we are in a sprint in order to keep up with life. However, we also have moments in a day that we can take a breath - analyze - slow it all down. Those moments are just as important as when we have to keep up.…
If there was one central "theme word" of my life that I had to choose, it would be "Presence". I feel as if it is a recurring theme in a lot of my writing and speaking, too. I am constantly making a concerted effort to live in the moment - to take in and experience…
As someone who is constantly planning and setting goals, I am looking at where I want to be in the future and the steps I should take to try and reach that point. They always talk about "enjoying the grind" and just trusting your process. I have truly found the importance of this thought process.…

A few years ago, when I start getting into the blogging/personal writing space and taking time for self-reflection, I realized that I often struggled with understanding my own thoughts. Our thoughts really can race, and when it feels like we only have a few moments to…
The weather recently in Kansas City has been beautiful. As I go from place to place, whether it be work, my girlfriend's place, my home, the golf course, my friend's house, etc., I have made it a note to appreciate the weather - spend time outside, go for walks, roll the windows down on the…
What do you do when your mind is spinning its wheels? I catch myself overthinking, over-analyzing, and being stressed out often. It's easy for our mind to put itself in a place that is beyond what's going on. Whether it's because we feel things should be different, because we want things to be different, or…
The busyness of life sometimes brings us to get lost in everyday tasks. In the last two weeks, I have been busy. I am a little sad I didn't make time to blog, but it happens. It would be different if it was a really tough, grind-through two weeks but it hasn't - it's been…
