A few years ago I wrote a letter to myself — a collection of unfiltered thoughts written in my google docs. No one has ever read this document except for me, and I've only read it once since I've written it. I will never delete it because it serves as a reminder to myself of … Continue reading Dear Me

Reminisce

Reminiscing about our past always an adventure on it's own. One of the best times to reminisce is with friends. Think … Continue reading Reminisce

Starting Your Day
Every day, we get up. Every morning we wake up and get ready for the day. What we do in preparation for the day often sets the tone for how the day will go.

Each of us has a unique set of skills, talents, traits, and weaknesses. No two people are the same. We are all perfectly imperfect.

Be The Shine
How often has a someone made a positive impact on your day by doing almost nothing? Maybe they just smiled in your direction, or they held a door open for you. Perhaps you went shopping and someone was able to help you find what you were looking for, or maybe a friend called you randomly … Continue reading Be The Shine
Will Power
Personal will power is probably one of the hardest things to master. Having the self control to do something or not is a skill we often take for granted. Waking up at a certain time. Not eating the entire bag of chips. Pushing yourself at the gym. Pulling yourself out of bed. Whenever we give … Continue reading Will Power
