In order to be of service to others, you must first be of service to yourself. --Darryn K. Robinson I have risen from the depths of insanity and am SO happy to be back to this blog! I just finished my third quarter of my Master's program so I apologize for that rather extended period of … Continue reading be + ASSERTIVE

Solitary Love
Being a writer is a gift and a curse. The gift, naturally, is your ability to embrace in self-expression and serve others with your words, yet the curse is that defeating moment when you come across someone else's work and wish their words were your own. To remedy this, I often borrow the words of my fellow artists … Continue reading Solitary Love
be + TRANSFORMED
The thoughts that confine us are often times the same thoughts that have the power to transform us. --Darryn K. Robinson I recently read an interesting little tidbit on thought patterns, and it proposed something that for the average human, we have about 50,000 thoughts per day. 50. Thousand. Thoughts. My mind was blown. … Continue reading be + TRANSFORMED
be + RENEWED
I have nothing against repetition, so I have no shame, I'll make this point again. I don't dread endings the way some people do; I actually celebrate nearing a full cycle because I'm all about what comes after a completion of sort. With an end comes new beginnings. We get to experience these brief … Continue reading be + RENEWED
My Best Self Yet
I'm a very reflective person by nature, but for this year specifically, I really had to take more time to honor myself, my growth, and all of the changes I have manifested in 2014. I was going through some old photos and when I arrived to this picture that I've included on the left, I actually startled … Continue reading My Best Self Yet
New Year, Better You
I love endings. I really do. Even when it's painful or sad and we're not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, I know that endings signify growth, change, and renewal. When I think about the force of the Universe, we have so many opportunities to start anew, I'm really at a loss … Continue reading New Year, Better You
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?
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
