Somehow I got so wrapped up in life and everything else that I seem to have forgotten to post my updates!? Whoops! That’s ok though, because a large part of the reason I have been behind is because 1. I have been crushing goals, 2. I have been exploring and thoroughly enjoying my new(ish) relationship/partner […]

Countless times in life we will experience being hurt by another. Whether by friend, family, a lover, or even a stranger, we will find ourselves at the receiving end of some pain. This comes in many forms but I’m focusing on that pain which comes from intimate/romantic relationships. In the wake of heartbreak we can […]

Yesterday is ashes; tomorrow wood. Only today does the fire burn brightly. – Eskimo proverb In today’s modern world, it is not uncommon for people to live in the mindset of “later” for things, experiences or opportunities. “Once I am ready to retire, I will cash in those vacation hours at work” … “Next weekend […]
For years I wanted to be older, and now I am. – Margaret Atwood There’s some truth. I remember thinking when I was young(er) about how much I wanted to “grow up” and do all those “adult” things that seemed so fun! I can’t really say if things turned out how I expected, or anticipated, […]
A prudent question is one-half of wisdom – Francis Bacon We often don’t know what we don’t know. It’s as simple as that.

These friendships, work related, or personal/romantic […]
Gary John Bishop is a writer and personal development focused leader. Watching him speak, I heard something that made me really stop and think. “If all your relationships are a reflection of you, how well are you doing?” Oh ok, FINE GARY! In examination (and retrospect) it’s easy to feel vindicated by our bad behavior. […]

Science is how we solve problems, but Art is how we cope with them. – Unknown Beauty – it’s all around, we just have to be willing to look up, look out and APPRECIATE it. Our world right now is fraught with dark feelings, ugly exhibitions of mistreatment and fear, but that does not negate […]
We hear this from people, and it seems to be linked (typically) to a negative tone. Whether you’re trying to make a lifestyle improvement and eat better, drink less, work out more, save money, be more patient, or whatEVER – people take notice, and not always in the most supportive ways. When people say this […]
Have you ever kissed someone goodbye? I’ve never purposely, at least not for the final goodbye. I’ve said goodbye at airports, I’ve waved good bye while being separated by military deployments. I’ve looked back, for that one final glance when being separated by distance from family, friends and lovers, but I’ve never realized the last […]
