    Setting goals and not getting discouraged

    I think in those cases you really need to sit yourself down and revisit the goals you started out with. The whole reason you started the adventure was because you wanted to achieve something and you knew that major setbacks were a possibility. So when a major setback happens, revisit the...

    Spiritual encounters

    For me it's mainly in the form of dreams. I've had beloved pets (yes I believe they go to heaven as well) and family members pass and when I'm really hurting or missing them I will dream about them. While some play this off as my brain trying to right my grief stricken emotions I truly believe...

    "Time is Free..."

    “Time is free, but it’s priceless. You can’t own it, but you can use it. You can’t keep it, but you can spend it. Once you’ve lost it you can never get it back.” Harvey Mackay When doing a project in college I came across this quote and it really stuck with me. So much of our time today is...

    “Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely”.

    I strongly agree with this quote and way of thinking! I feel that politicians are suppose to be civil servants, but being in politics should not be a central career. Term limits on branches of government would help balance out big company pay outs and influence. I also think that if you are a...

    Start writing

    And that is perfectly okay! The way I see it, your writing is an intimate part of you, a piece of you that you put a lot of time and effort in to. If you are uncomfortable with the idea of putting yourself out there, maybe try coming up with a Pen name? I find that using an alias helps me be a...

    Start writing

    Go for it! With the accessibility of ebooks nowadays you can start with a small book and work your way up from there! I had a friend who actually published her first ebook on Amazon not to long ago. It's a good way I think to get your name out there and start creating a portfolio!

    Awesome! I'm looking forward to hearing more about it! My grandmother would also be interested if it's an audio version since her eyes are recovering from surgery, the more the merrier I suppose!

    Free Memory Training Series

    These are some interesting memory tips! Both my mother and I have difficulty remembering little things like lists and calander events. I can't tell you how frustrating it can be going to the grocery store for four things and walking out with three, simply because I can't remember that silly...
