I tried. I failed. I was devastated. When I left my career in 2018, I followed what I felt was my calling. The road has not been easy. It has been filled with a lot of twists and turns. After almost two years of schooling, I flushed out my idea and felt grounded in research….

Why I Wear A Mask
At the start of the year the terms “COVID-19” and “Coronavirus”, were new words used to label a new virus. This once obscure term that labeled an obscure virus would become a household name that would completely shape and define the new year. Doctors provided the public with new information about the virus from it’s…
Our True Nature
It’s Friday! A lot has changed in four short days. At the beginning of the week I felt the effects of stress in my body and my ability to focus. It’s been hard for me to wrap my head around how swiftly things have changed. I went to the store on Wednesday and forgot to…
What Needs to Be Felt
My sisters best friend lost her mother this week. It was quite sudden. At the end of last week I learned her mother was in the hospital with an infection. On Tuesday I learned she had passed. Loosing someone at anytime of your life is never easy, regardless of age. There is never a good…

I Am Ready
I never thought I would say what in recent years was all I wanted to say.
