It's been a while since I've blogged! This has been due to a lot of work, moving, and school. As I have time today to write down my thoughts and reflect on the past two weeks, I started to feel like I missed out by not blogging during that. In reality, it was good I…
Sometimes when I blog, I get stuck. Sometimes when I speak, I get stuck. Sometimes when I think, I get stuck. This used to frustrate me when this happened. What I've learned, and this goes for all of life, you have to just keep going and trying. Always moving forward. If I am stuck on…
Every moment of life provides us with different feelings. Whether that be feelings that our 5 physical senses present ourselves with (a smell, a taste, a touch, etc.) or a feeling that our mind sends through our body and makes us think about (happy, content, anxious, etc.) I went through a time in my life…
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…
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…

When something is spoken, we should listen. There is always something to learn from words. Whether the words have positive, negative, or neutral intentions, each sentence within an ear's reach is worth grabbing on to. Listening is learning.

I usually blog on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday each week. I've missed a few of those days recently. I don't really remember if I was tired, if I was busy, etc. I do know that it must not have felt "right". I don't need to feel a certain way to blog, to write,…
