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?
be + THANKFUL
Words cannot begin to express how excited I am to touch on a subject that has transformed my life! And oh, how it pains me that the world has so much opportunity in really and truly being thankful. Think about it. We have been conditioned since birth essentially to say thank you, that I often fear that … Continue reading be + THANKFUL
Energy Vampires
I guess I'm a little late to the punchline since Halloween was last week, but hear me out--this is a very powerful subject that because I did not set personal boundaries for myself, I know the consequences of energetically and emotionally being sucked dry from negative people and experiences. So, what is an Energy Vampire? I … Continue reading Energy Vampires
Mother’s & Daughter’s
For those who don't know me, my upbringing isn't the most traditional or linear in the sense of family structure and parental roles. 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

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
Creative Hangover/Mental Hydration (For The Stagnant Creatives)
The hospital room may be spotless and sterile, but birth itself will always take place amid chaos, pain and blood." --Steven Pressfied When my cousin De Angela handed me the jewel of a book Do The Work by Steven Pressfield, that was the equivalent of me basically thinking that I had just won the lottery. … Continue reading Creative Hangover/Mental Hydration (For The Stagnant Creatives)
Meditation–Guided Visualization
I remember the first time I gave meditation a try. I was in college, it was my second year and I was on one of my spiritual kicks that usually lasted for less than 2 weeks, enough time to feel inspired and renewed until the reality of my depression and anxiety presented themselves again. My … Continue reading Meditation–Guided Visualization
What’s In Your Arena of Fear?
I must say a word about fear. It is life’s only true opponent. Only fear can defeat life. It is clever, treacherous adversary, how well I know. It has no decency, respects no law or convention, shows no mercy. It goes for your weakest spot, which it finds with unnerving ease. It begins in your … Continue reading What’s In Your Arena of Fear?
