Making the most out of each day
Just a random selfie I decided to take... I don't often post pictures of myself on this blog, because so much of what I have to say is something that I want everyone to relate to. Everything I write about is meant to hold something for everyone who reads it. But today I felt a... Continue Reading →
As most bibliophiles (such as myself) will tell you, if you can’t find the answer to someting, then look in a book. (Forget that whole Google thing!) But what happens when what you’re looking for can’t be found in a book? If it can’t be found on the Google? How do we find the answers... Continue Reading →
I was reminded recently that each of us has a light inside of us. It is this light that shows us the best parts of ourselves and guides us to be the best person we can be. It is so easy to forget about that light when life gets difficult. We allow the darkness of... Continue Reading →

It's so easy to put up walls after going through something difficult - whatever that might be. It's so easy to close off everyone else and keep things "safe" for yourself. It's easy to learn how to only look out for yourself and keep yourself from being vulerable again - because when you're vulnerable, you... Continue Reading →
One of the hardest things a person can do is trust. It’s difficult to trust someone else, but what I’ve discovered is that it’s even harder to trust yourself.

Everything seems the same and yet everything is different. A death, a divorce, a disagreement, a loss of any kind, a pandemic...A move, a new hobby, a good book, a puppy, a new relationship... Any time we experience something new in our lives (good or bad, big or small) it affects us and changes us... Continue Reading →
