Looks like I lied back in February when I said that I would try to write more; as I haven’t sat and typed words on this blog in almost 3 months. Well, rather than dwell on this, I figured I’d use it as motivation to launch a new format on here called ‘Q&A’ as a […]
Continuing from my previous post, here are some ramblings from having the time to self-reflect on how 2022 affected me and what I hope to bring into 2023 from those experiences. It’s the beginning of a new year which means that it’s also around the time that people start to set goals, resolutions and aspirations […]
The following thoughts are tidbits that came to me while on vacation this past week in Paris, France. There’s no sort of order to them necessarily, but it’s just commentary on life that I started to think about while having the chance to slow down and relax. My mind finally wasn’t consumed with my work […]
I figured I’d do a bit of a check in with how things have been going lately… spoiler alert, it’s been a tough year. As some know, I was laid off at the beginning of the year when the food company I worked for ran out of cash flow and the board voted to lay […]
**This is an excerpt from a chapter on boundary setting in my upcoming book** You’re going to have people or things in your life that probably make it easy to let your guard down, which is a great feeling and how I picture things SHOULD be when you surround yourself with those that you love. […]
I’m not exactly sure how to start this one off, but it’s apparent to me that despite how many times I write or say something… I always need a reminder to remember what’s important in life. Maybe you do too. Yesterday I found out that a friend of mine, Ralph, had passed away back in […]
2015 – The year I had hoped would be radically different from 2014. In some ways it was, in some ways it wasn’t. As I approach my 26th spin around the sun (as my good friend Nate used to say), I wanted to take a look back and discuss a few things that I haven’t […]
So the title may be pretty vague… what am I referring to exactly? What should you be broadening? In short – anything and everything that you have the chance to. I have to admit that I have lived a pretty sheltered life, and as a result that has made me somewhat narrow sighted. At one […]
So I was going to start this post off with the definition of Independence… but it keeps redirecting me back to the word Independent. Let’s go with that then, according to Merriam-Webster: Independent – not requiring or relying on something else adjective – in·de·pen·dent For a long time, I thought I was pretty independent due to the nature […]
Let’s just get this out of the way now: things don’t get easier. You currently spend your days going to school, eating junk food, and then coming home to watch Pokemon. Sometimes you make things interesting by adding in some gaming to your TV sessions. You don’t have a care in the world and your biggest […]
