    Dealing with the toxic people in your life

    It is so much harder to do when it is family but sometimes even in these cases it is necessary. If you have tried having an open and honest conversation and you have tried to let them bother you and it continues to happen I say just see them when you have to. Negative people can really chip away...

    Social Media and the People Behind their Photos

    Completely agree! We all think we are influencers now. And in a way, we do make it so that complete strangers can influence what we like, look like in our photos and even the way we capture our lives!

    Mantras for positivity

    I repeat similar mantras whenever I wake up feeling heavy or dreading the day. I do believe in the power of positive thinking and projecting energy based on how we feel. So, if I tell myself "today will be great" I hope to change how I feel, project it and thus have a great day. :)

    The Importance of Letting Go

    Interesting thought. So, you think we must remove who we used to be in order to move on? I think it is important to acknowledge our past and, yes, let go, but maybe not in the same way you are describing. I think it is important that we release anything that no longer serves us, but first, we...

    Social Media and the People Behind their Photos

    Recently, I read an article where people came forth about what was actually happening behind the scenes before they took their insta-perfect photo. One girl had a photo of her smiling on some exotic vacation and her caption said, "This had been the first time I smiled since my divorce, I had...

    Follow Your Heart, It's Not Just A Cliche

    I completely agree with this! My parents always wanted me to follow the secure path or the path that they knew due to other family memebers having done the same. I remember being 18 years old and already starting down the same career path as my cousins and I hated it! I didn't feel like I had a...

    Luck Is What Happens When Preparation Meets Opportunity

    My college professor used to use the quote, "80% of success is showing up," which to me always meant you have to do your part in order for everything else to align. Making your dreams come true does not just mean believing they can come true, it is about putting things into action. If I want a...
