Why shouldn’t you follow your dreams? Let me guess. Is it because of bills? Other mouths to feed? Other demands offering your time? For what it’s worth, I totally get it.

Finding Your Inner Warrior
One thing I love in this world is watching people of any age succeed. It doesn’t matter if it’s a toddler learning to walk, a student passing a difficult test, or a parent handling their many bags in their arms while keeping tabs on their children. Life has taken off and in its wake, has…
Crazy Years Produce Crazy Lives
Over the past year, I honestly can’t think of a single person I know who had a nice, calm year. In fact, many people claim this has been the most difficult time of their lives. COVID-19 has put a huge shadow in our timelines, making it harder and harder to step into the light. With…
The Circle Trap
I was recently told, “sometimes we have to stop fighting against things to see the beauty and love in them.” At first, I wasn’t sure exactly what he meant by this. However, after a great deal of thought to the subject I began to see the beauty in those words. Life sometimes can be hard,…

Don’t Let Others Steal Your Shine
Over the last few days, I have been reminded of a very important message that has been on my mind lately. After a rough week, a new friend inquired if I was OK. Before I could respond, they said, “Don’t let others steal your shine.” I was reminded at that moment that I was letting…
Goodbye to 2018
What a year it was in 2018. To give it a proper send-off I wanted to reflect on the roller coaster of events that took place. It’s always sad for me when I think of another year gone. However, thinking about a fresh new year ahead is always an intriguing idea. For me, the year…
