Rest… Ah, rest… something we all need yet don’t always get enough of. Finding time for rest has always been a theme for me. Yet now I find myself thinking about it more than I usually do. I have what I would call a very “people-intensive” job. It’s enough to easily wear out a less …
I’ve had this saying going through my head a lot recently. I don’t know why, but it seems like a lot of unexpected things have been happening recently. Both good and bad. For starters, I saw a good friend over the weekend that I haven’t seen in a long time. We met by chance at …
Thanksgiving Day! Now this is something people should practice every day, year-round… Yes, I know this is an American holiday, and I do have many international readers.

You know what I love best about today…? It isn’t yesterday and it certainly isn’t tomorrow… Everyday is a new day and I am thankful for every breath I take. Its not to be taken for granted. Each day let’s start fresh and new. Whatever is behind us will stay behind us, and whatever is ahead …
Is it true or untrue? Is beauty a curse or a blessing? “Don’t hate me because I am beautiful” That statement has certainly made it through the years. Most of us in the US know it, but have no idea where it comes from (supposedly a Pantene Pro-V shampoo commercial). Does our jealousy of other …
