I told myself I would spend some time in reflection at the end of the year. Today is the last day, so I guess now is the time for that reflection before the day passes me by. Spending time in reflection isn’t something I often do as I try not to live in any past […]
Do You Believe in Coincidence? I most certainly do not believe in coincidence. At least not the way most people define it. Most people associate coincidence with an odd, unexplainable, random occurrence. It appears to be so unique that you wonder how it could be random and yet so seemingly directed towards you. Here’s the […]
Start your day with some positivity on purpose! I’ve been sharing daily affirmations on my Instagram and Facebook pages over the last couple weeks to ignite some positivity. When I finish out one journal and start another one fresh I usually spend some time in setting my intentions for the next quarter or some affirmations […]
Why You Never Feel 100% Understood Many of our relationship woes focus around ideas like: I never feel understood by him/her. I explain myself time and time again, but my partner just doesn’t get me.

Our minds are drifting towards the Thanksgiving holiday. During this week it seems easier to recognize all the gifts in our life we tend to ignore at least from time to time. I watched an incredible TED talk (linked below), in which the speaker shares with us what I’d call Gratefulness for Dummies. It’s so […]
I was on my way to a meeting, and despite running an errand first, I still looked to be on time. I was coming from a direction of town I normally didn’t drive from, so was kind of winding my way the direction I wanted to go. I came upon a funeral procession coming my […]
I’ve always been big into goal setting and loved the time of the year we all refresh ourselves and strive to become even better versions of our ‘flawed, but beautiful’ selves.
