be + MERRY!
I know, I know. I just couldn't resist the clichés of the holiday spirit for this post. And to be honest, actually taking a moment to reflect on this gem of a word really brought about a renewed appreciation for what this time of the year really embodies. I find it absolutely no coincidence that … Continue reading be + MERRY!
be + HEEDFUL
I believe the world is as we choose to view it. Simple as that. Our happiness, is in the end, up to us and no one else. --Susan Fletcher Be heedful, you may ask? I wouldn't be an English major if I didn't throw in some weird words, now would I? There's just no … Continue reading be + HEEDFUL
Depression: Mental Illness or Excuse?
If you could, I want you to take a moment of silence and think about a few instances in your life where you were so mentally exhausted that you didn't think you had the strength to get back up, face that obstacle that brought you down, talk to that person who hurt you, or simply just move on … Continue reading Depression: Mental Illness or Excuse?

So, what is an Energy Vampire? I … Continue reading Energy Vampires

My mother essentially raised my sister and I (with quite a few moves and relocations in between) and although this was perfectly normal to me, my parents had a long-distance marriage! What I … Continue reading Mother’s & Daughter’s
Claiming Growth in Stifled Situations
There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; True nobility is being superior to your former self. --Ernest Hemingway There's a reason Hemingway will always be considered one of the greatest writers of our time. He's certainly a personal favorite of mine, in fact, one of my first literary crushes. I really … Continue reading Claiming Growth in Stifled Situations
Faithfully Expecting
"You attract what you are, not what you want. If you want great, then be great." Do you remember when you were a child and the holiday season rolled around? Was it not the most exciting thing to think about your wish list and write down exactly what you wanted? And from there, spend the … Continue reading Faithfully Expecting
