I wasn’t sure if I was going to write this post, but...Here it is. I’m in school. Not a huge revelation, anyway. I was hesitant to say anything because, well, I like to keep that kind of stuff to myself sometimes. Once it’s on the internet, and all. Anyway, I wasn’t sure if I was… Continue reading The Next 20 Years | Thoughts of the Week, August 31, 2018

Today is The Day | Thoughts of the Week, August 10, 2018
I used to smoke cigarettes. I know, gross, right? Some of you may smoke. I encourage you to quit. Don’t vape, either. Seriously, I want you to be healthy and, well, smoking isn’t. But I won’t give you the former-smoker-now-turned-worst-non-smoker-ever routine. I’ll just talk about my motivation for quitting. It was a monkey. A vice.… Continue reading Today is The Day | Thoughts of the Week, August 10, 2018
Rule #4: You Can’t Want It More Than They Do
I think we all have rules of some sort or another. Some are passed on like family heirlooms, our fathers instructing us on the ways of life whilst spearing a clueless worm onto a hook on a lazy Sunday afternoon. His mistakes in life had earned him a little wisdom, and he wanted to be… Continue reading Rule #4: You Can’t Want It More Than They Do

YOU…Step Away from the Comfort Zone | Three Tips to Discovering a New Happiness
My life isn’t always a quest for balance. There are times when, selfishly, I’m simply looking for happiness. I want to laugh, be engaged with others around me, and most of all be released from the stresses that occur in daily life. Maybe this is balance, but it feels different. It feels selfish.

#MorningMotivation | Captain Phillips’ Leadership Lecture
Captain Richard Phillips speaks with a quick, high pitched New England vibrato, the type of vocal cadence where you nearly miss every fifth or eighth word being said but the message still gets across. When Captain Phillips speaks the message is clear, he is a man who is confident in his ability to lead others… Continue reading #MorningMotivation | Captain Phillips’ Leadership Lecture
When Success is Dressed Like Failure
“You don’t conquer the mountain, you only conquer yourself.” Jim Whittaker My plans for 2015, I think, are ambitious. Maybe too ambitious. But I’m okay with that. It’s important that goals push what we’re capable of doing. I think there’s a chance I won’t accomplish all of my goals for the year, but I think,… Continue reading When Success is Dressed Like Failure
Mondays Suck?
I saw this image online early last week. I've been waiting, impatiently, to share it today, a Monday. It reminds me that, for many reasons, we come to dread the first work day of the week. I know, I've been there. It kind of starts Sunday night, right? You start thinking about work or that… Continue reading Mondays Suck?
