I've already spoken about how much last year, quite frankly, really sucked. It was devastating emotionally, draining physically, and my stress levels skyrocketed beyond belief. I am grateful to say that so far, this year is already different. I'm not going to tell you that life is easier than last year. It's not. We've had … Continue reading New Year, New Opportunities, New Growth
Are You Listening?
The Spirit is always speaking to us, sometimes in small and subtle ways, sometimes in ways that are so obvious it seems hard to miss. If we are not getting the messages, then most likely we are not listening. For example, if there is an issue you are struggling with and you hear a song, … Continue reading Are You Listening?
When Old Ideas Get In The Way

It's a perfect night to go look at the lights blinking on the water tower Christmas tree the city puts up every year. It's the perfect kind of night to sit back … Continue reading Happy Solstice
No Sugarcoating
From time to time, it becomes very difficult for me to ... do ... anything. That's where I am, and that's where I've been for quite some time now. I feel stuck.

As The Year Winds Down
This has been an eventful, and sometimes brutal year. For myself, it involved not one, but two job changes, and the passing of a close friend, as well as other friends losing loved ones as well. It's been a year of pain, and a year of growth, but there have been times of beauty, love … Continue reading As The Year Winds Down

But every one of them will tell you, if you keep pushing through the pain, no matter how hard it … Continue reading Pushing Through The Wall
