One of the hardest things in life, for most of us, is letting go. Whether it be a person, a habit, an item, a feeling - most times, we go through a great deal of stress when it comes to releasing it. Humans are, inherently, creatures of habit. We take comfort in familiarity, in repetition.... Continue Reading →
You’re Not Hungry Enough
A good friend and I were having a very intense conversation late one night (much like the majority of our nightly convos), and this one was about careers and life goals. I was complaining about the lack of creativity in my corporate role, while he was proclaiming his anticipation of finally being able to do what... Continue Reading →
When Life Gives You Seeded Watermelon…
...just spit the seeds out and keep it moving. Man, it's been a minute for a new post, and for good reason. So many transitions in my life right now, I can barely keep up. I've been up, I've been down, turned practically inside out like Penny from Pee-Wee's Playhouse (I couldn't find the inside... Continue Reading →
Reflections
Today, I've taken the time to reflect on what has occurred in my life over the past 365 days (and I urge you all to take a few moments between the partying to do the same). This past year has put me through many tests, of my resiliency, my loyalty, and my heart. I've learned... Continue Reading →
Either Love Me, or Leave Me Alone
Have you ever found yourself spending so much time and energy focused on how other people feel, checking in on them, never realizing that you've forgotten to figure out how YOU feel, forgotten to check in with you? It's so easy to get caught up in being who others want you to be, and you... Continue Reading →
When in Rome…
As many of you know (or previously read, hopefully!), I recently moved out of the state that I was born in, raised in, and pretty much where I thought I would retire in. I haven't had time to post, because of my type-A personality to make sure everything in our new home was situated in,... Continue Reading →
The Power of Positive…Nevermind
A few weeks ago, I posted a couple of great posts about rainbows and unicorns and buckets of glitter. Well, not exactly, but it was damn near close. In my last post, I talked about maintaining this aura of positivity, you know, changing my outlook on life and whatnot. I discussed not taking things so... Continue Reading →
It’s Really Not That Serious
I am a notorious reactor. I tend to get very emotional, very easily (it’s usually the anger emotion!), and it can hinder progress, and mare how others perceive me. It’s nice to feel that it doesn’t matter what other people think of you, but in the real world, your reputation is 80% of who you... Continue Reading →
Actually, I’LL Keep the Change
This post is about change (duh), but it's also so very much about me. Lately, people have voiced their concerns on how I've "changed". This is by no means a jab at any particular person, but that statement has caused quite a bit of pondering on my part in the past few weeks. Especially when... Continue Reading →
What Is Going On???
Ok, so, you woke up this morning, and what’s the first thing you did? Reached over and looked at your cell phone…probably checked Twitter and Facebook to see what everyone else is doing with their lives, right? Maybe got a little envious, because it seems like everyone else is doing great things without you. And... Continue Reading →
