It’s the final Monday in November. Ever since I was kid, I always questioned my elders. I would always do as I was told, but I’d question in my mind the words and actions of adults. As a teen, when I was in a group of my peers, I never followed the crowd. In college,…

I am Thankful for: Family
This is my fourth week home with my family. I came home to spend time with my new niece for her first Halloween and I stayed longer because I was very ill. Now that I am better, I am still here because the holidays are here and my family needs me at this time. I…
Tune Tuesday #21 – Give a Little Bit
This week is Thanksgiving! In my early adulthood my focus shifted from counting my blessings during this season, to thanking the people who are blessings. Almost 10 years ago, I started the tradition of sending personal, hand written, thank you notes to people that have the biggest impact on my year. These notes outline specific actions, words…
Mindful Monday #92 – Do Not Lose Your Inner Peace
It’s Monday and I am back for real. This month has been a challenge from the start and it resembles my entire year. No part of this year was easy. Before I restored my energy from pushing through one challenge, I found myself faced with a new challenge. There were several times this year when I felt…
I am Thankful for: Breath

I am Thankful for: Healthcare
Happy Thursday! For the month of November I am focusing on my health. The universe has turned my perspective on it’s side and allowed me to look at my health and concept of health with new eyes. I have been sick for three weeks. Getting sick started gradually with pure exhaustion, then became what felt like a…

Tune Tuesday #20 – You Don’t Know What You Got Till It’s Gone
It’s Tuesday. I’m tired. Night time has been the worst for me these past three days because I get the worst sinus headaches, my throat kills me and my body aches. Two nights in a row, even though I was tired, I wondered why I was trying to go to bed because of how I…
