It’s the whisper in that cramped part of your mind that tells you that you’re not going hard enough. You’re not strong enough. You’re not smart enough. You’re not charismatic enough. You’re not enough. You monitor these thoughts and chew on their meaning; but you never really question their origin. When you look in the […]
“I used to have this appetite for food, for life? and it’s just gone. I want to go someplace where I can marvel at something.” Eat, Pray, Love Elizabeth (Liz) Gilbert It’s been a while since I’ve written about solo traveling mainly because it’s been a while since I traveled.

You are like water. You nurture. You cleanse. Many around you drink and thrive; while some drown.
In your tides you learn and grow. Your biggest storms only revealed your greatest strengths. You are POWERFUL.

The blind spots in our self awareness comes into play with us avoiding accountability, indulging in our pride, and yes, upholding the fear of vulnerability.
It’s a Performance. Death to the Good Girl was all about upholding a title that silently erased me as a woman. Many women and men alike could relate to the sentiment of behaving, speaking, and thinking a conformed way in order to embrace the title “good.” At the root, good is what we should strive […]

These are pages from my personal […]
The dislike many of you feel for Lawrence stems for the real duality of his character. This idea that many men ruin women who want to believe in their potential by pure laziness. These character types usually go on and do better in the same fundamentals of a relationship that you begged for in a new […]
The thought came in the shower; the birthplace of all great ideas. One of my bucket list dreams is to take a vow of silence for at least three months during my lifetime. I know that this is something that will have to happen in my future as my job is ALL […]
