This post was started November 2019 and has been in my drafts for over a year. Keeping it as a draft isn’t helping anyone so, here you go. The word ‘friend’ has been coming up a lot for me in the last few months. Many of my friendships have been evolving into something new andContinue reading “To Be a Friend.”

A Journey, Not a Destination.
Life is a journey, not a destination. Often as a synonym to “enjoy the ride!” – I never really understood the quote until now. In previous posts on this blog, I alluded to my July 2018 being rough and definitely a turning point in my life. Over the course of the month, my roommate told meContinue reading “A Journey, Not a Destination.”
Love is Music is Love.
Hang with me while I explore my jumbled thoughts and hopefully uncover my point… I am perpetually amazed by the way music brings people together. The radio. Coffee shops. Concerts. Intimate spaces. Extravagant halls. Bathrooms. Kitchens. Music can be found all around us, is an experience that is unique for every person, and can uniteContinue reading “Love is Music is Love.”
Relationships: They’re All About You
This mercury in retrograde business has thrown everyone for a loop. People are being let go from jobs, technology is breaking, relationships are ending – just madness. Or maybe I just described the current state of my life. The jury is still out on whether July was an awful month or whether I’ll need toContinue reading “Relationships: They’re All About You”
Connect To Something Bigger Than You.
With my birthday being in mid-November, I’m a Scorpio (and very much live up to that). Lately, though, I’ve felt a bit like a Gemini with its two different personalities. As humans, we all have many levels to our existence: physical, spiritual, emotional, and so on. My physical and higher selves have been duking itContinue reading “Connect To Something Bigger Than You.”
Please, stop using this word.
“Sorry, I’m busy.” Three of the most annoying words in the English language. People love saying sorry when there’s no reason to say sorry (you don’t need to apologize), they fill space by talking about themselves (silence is okay!), and they love saying they’re busy. And when you put them together…take about rage. Let me set somethingContinue reading “Please, stop using this word.”
We all get by with a little help from our friends.
Friendship is a sheltering tree. -Samuel Taylor Coleridge I recently read this quote on a Yogi tea bag and immediately thought about my friends and what it means to be a friend. It’s easy to throw this word around, especially in today’s world where we’re constantly meeting, connecting, visiting, sharing, and so on. We haveContinue reading “We all get by with a little help from our friends.”
Tango. Foxtrot. Salsa. Bachata.
Dancing Queen. Bust a Move. Hips Don’t Lie. There are plenty of songs about dancing (among other things) and most of them will captivate us to tap our toes or shake our booty. Many of us will do that from the comfort of our kitchen or the safety of our bathroom. When our inner dancerContinue reading “Tango. Foxtrot. Salsa. Bachata.”
What does it mean to Dream?
I just finished The Dream Manager, a book about life dreams (not the sleeping kind) and how one company helped its team members achieve their goals. I strongly encourage you to read it; it’s a captivating 100-some pages. The story focuses on how one janitorial services company drastically improved their business simply by focusing onContinue reading “What does it mean to Dream?”
The relationship between cars and humans
When I turned 15 and nine months, I sprinted to the nearest MVA to get my permit. Permit in hand, I walked out of there feeling very mature and proud of myself. I seized any opportunity I had to practice driving with my parents in the car. Whether that was on the way to school,Continue reading “The relationship between cars and humans”
