It’s Time To Talk About It

Because of recent events, I think that it is important to talk about mental illness. Obviously in light of the Paris attack there is strong evidence of what mental illness can do to oneself and those around them. Although there may be affiliates and beliefs tied to the devastating attacks in Paris, but there is […]

Hope

Everyone says that bad things happen to good people, but did you ever think bad things make good people? I stumbled upon this question a couple of days ago and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since. There are countless studies and theories on why good people do bad things and why […]

I have to admit, the universe has finally got my attention. After listening to two performers, on two separate stages, on two different nights say the same thing I couldn’t help but wonder that somehow this message was one that I personally should listen to.

Moments

It’s pretty crazy going back to a place where you were just a year before. Everything’s the same: the house, living room, garden, and even the trees. Yet, you’ve changed so much.

Scientifically, it takes a while for our brains to acclimate to new technology and enhancements in social norms. Our brain begins to then change through the generations to fit the new […]

imagination

At times, I feel as if my imagination gets the best of me.  I tend to get caught up in every little detail. I crave true stories with infinite emotion. But looking around I can sense the disapproval.  When did it become “naïve” to get caught up in your imagination? When people say they feel […]

One Week

John Wooden once said: you can’t live a perfect day until you do something for someone who will never be able to repay you. Until this week I thought the definition of helping others was focusing more on what you do for those who need your help rather than what those people can give to you. […]
