Does EVERYTHING Happen for a Reason?

Whenever something happens; good or bad, I am  a firm believer that it has a reason.  Call me superstitious, but that is how I’ve always chosen to believe.  When the stars align and things fall in place, I believe that there is a reason that those things were meant to fall in place for me…

Striving to be Better for Those Who Look up to Me

Q: Do I see myself as successful? I don’t really define success by the way others view my accomplishments; but more-so how I feel about what I have accomplished. At the beginning of this year, I made a list of things I wanted to accomplish.  I made promises to myself about the type of woman…

Self-Care Sunday: Making Lemonade

This may sound kind of crazy, but I want to touch on how making life’s lemons into lemonade can be a form of self-care; or at least how we need to start living life with this mentality. How many of us stress about how life isn’t perfect? *raises hand in shame* exactly, me too! As…

‘Tis Better to Give than Receive

Am I a giver or a taker? I am definitely more of a giver than a taker. In most instances, I give entirely too much, rather than taking what I deserve. I think I’m most cases, we tend to find ourselves giving more than taking. We don’t want to appear selfish, so we give and…

Are you Courageous Enough to Live Freely?

Oftentimes, we have these amazing goals and visions for ourselves. We have vision boards, detail-oriented plans and explanations on how to make these goals a reality and we have the ability and the opportunity to make these things happen.

Be Mindful of the Energy you Put Into How Others Think of You

Do I care about what others are thinking about me? The short answer is this: NO. When I was younger, I was very self-conscious and was very concerned with how others perceived me and what people thought of me.  I have always tried to be a good person and a good friend to everyone I…
