I had the lucky privilege to begin graduate school this week! It’s been a challenge, but a welcoming one. I find myself struggling to learn my new routine to balance my work and school and social life. I fear that the last few years of focusing just on my work life has left me a…

One Awesome Drive
One thing that has been quite entertaining for me as I am trying to adjust to a new life, in a new state, with a unique culture, has been finding fun things to do. Usually, I spend my Sundays as a fun day. It’s usually a day I get to relax and enjoy with friends….
Words are Not Toys
Will Rogers once said, “Even if you are on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.” Isn’t that a good point? Lately I feel I have been behind on my work because I am starting graduate school and taking on new adventures and meeting new people who are taking me…
What Freedom is to Me
Somewhere I heard recently was a saying from an old movie that was something like “Freedom is in knowing who you are.” For some reason, I have not been able to get that thought out of my head. When I think of freedom, I usually think of things like I can be who I want…

Is It Wrong to Love a Thing?
I realize this post may be too personal for some people. However I have decided to write about the things that are on my mind. That is why I decided to go ahead and post my thoughts no matter how personal they may be. Love comes in many different ways and from many different avenues….
Little Things Like Friendship
On my day off today I peeked out the window and saw the sun trying to come out. I see the snow is beginning to melt and spring is finally drawing near. One thing I have missed so much from my previous life in Florida is the sunshine. I love the feel of the sun…
Learning to Face my Fears
I think all of us at some point in our lives have loved another. Whether it’s a family member, child, pet, significant other, someone in our lives has touched us and felt love to that person. Love is so simple, yet for some reason it’s also one of the most terrifying things to experience. The…
