Learned Lessons on Forgiveness…the Realities and Myths
Forgiveness is, and will always remain a difficult road. Especially when so much pain and hurt leave such visceral marks in our memory. I think by now, we can all say that we’ve heard the phrase, “learn to forgive and forget.” When I was little, I’m sure that was a time in life where I …

Peeling Back Layers
We each have layers of identity within ourselves. And while we know that and can rationalize that objectively, we’ve gotten to a point in society where one element of someone’s character is extrapolated and dissected by society as representative as who they are and what they stand for. This leads to that individual being completely …
In The Pursuit
Some nights ago, I had a dream…one that both confused me and unsettled me greatly. I believe it served as both a reminder and a warning—“is my vision just mine or does it extend beyond just myself?” In the dream, I was forced to see the choice between these two questions play out. For the …
Take Heart & Take Care
At this point, you’ve probably heard on the news, on internet chat groups, or in your local communities about the current pandemic we’re currently facing.

How many times can you count where you were told by someone how essential networking is …
Your Internal Arms Race
Happy new year everyone! Really hope you’re all off to a good start with those new year goals and resolutions. First post of the year…no pressure! Actually, this post came out a little later than I wanted, so I apologize for making your wait, but I thank you for your patience and support, you all …
The Mind|Your Reality
Have you ever found yourself thinking about something, before you see it begin to manifest in your life? Don’t know about you, but on many occasions, I have. Like when I’m thinking about a song I just can’t seem to get out of my head, and then a moment later I hear it on the …
