We panic and fall into a manic state of hiding away anything that could benefit us in the near future. We look out for ourselves. Pouring out to others becomes an ignorant notion. But don’t … Continue reading Don’t Be A Hoarder

Not Your Average Detox
Without consistently poisoning my mind with content to compare my life to others, I discovered peace in pockets of the day I forgot existed. Our social media fast is coming to a close this Sunday and I have found a deep passion for the process of detoxifying. Addiction is a psychological and physical inability to … Continue reading Not Your Average Detox
Once Upon A Dialogue
Once upon a time, there was an inaccurate representation of communication in every princess story ever. Prince Charming didn’t apologize to Cinderella for not being a good listener & Snow White didn’t express her frustration over not having time to herself. Simple and positive story lines make the world go round, but they don’t encourage … Continue reading Once Upon A Dialogue
No “Likes” For You
I have taken to laying on the floor in front of the open window to sun tan.

Some people think it … Continue reading Dare You To Move
