As human beings, it is our nature to fixate on what we want or desire rather than appreciate what we have right now, or where we are in our own journey. When you think about it, our modern conveniences help solidify those expectations. For example, the Amazon elves will bring us our things from Amazon the same day. Need some things from Target? You can have your order in a couple of hours. Want to

The definition of modesty is the quality or state of being unassuming or moderate in the estimation of one’s abilities. It isn’t having a low opinion of yourself, but rather a way of being. For example, in a group project at work your teammates give you most of the credit because you worked really hard, and you modesty say it was a real team effort and success wouldn’t have been possible without everyone’s help.

Happy New Year’s Eve! I thought it would be fun to share my list of things I want to do in 2022. After 2020 and 2021, I am eager for things to go back to “normal”! Here’s my list in no particular order: Prioritize getting 7-8 hours of sleep every night. Prioritize hydration. Lose 10% of my overall weight. Get in better shape to do more hiking adventures.

This familiarity causes them to feel like their partner just

So many of us have stayed in survival mode. The scars you wear are evidence of how hard you have fought to save yourself. Be proud of all that you have overcome. Many times, the wars that we have had to fight where not ones of our choosing – especially when we were younger. We had to level up and confront the war, even when we weren’t ready or didn’t know how to respond. We

When you love someone, they will inevitability hurt you. How do you find the ones worth suffering or? Is it someone with a good heart who has just made some mistakes? Or is the person selfish who cares more about themselves than others? Earlier this year I talked about how the responsibility of love is to keep another’s heart safe. I went in depth on healthy traits of an intimate relationship. Below are what they

Less than two weeks ago, I wrote about the importance creating some distance when trying to see things more clearly. We talked a lot about the law of attraction and knowing what you deserve. I want to expound on why we lose sight of what we deserve when we stay in situations that no longer serve us. You see, we tend to look for some kind of closure when there has been an end to

In my first Self-Care Sunday post, I talked about how important it is to start your day from a place of gratitude. We live in a culture where we are constantly bombarded by things. What people are doing, what they have, where they are going, etc. I often refer to social media as someone’s highlight reel. What you see is curated and manufactured content that doesn’t tell the whole story. Often it doesn’t even tell
