Usually winning is clearly defined. In sports, it is the team with more points at the end of the game or the person that crosses the finish line first. However, this week I was thinking about the less clearly defined “wins” in life. The ones that involve power struggles. These wins can involve self-sacrifice or… Read More Winning?
I would say I’m a pretty goal-oriented person. I am a dreamer at first, but once I see what I want, I chase it. If I want something badly, I focus on it pretty hard. However, I recently discovered that most of the things that I chase the hardest, and wish for the greatest, turn… Read More Bigger And Better Things
The other week I was driving a route I have driven many times before. Lyrics of the song “On The Road Again” looped in my head, and I found my thoughts drifting as they often do when I drive.

Today I was at a loss of words for my blog. I think I am a little “talked out” this week, as I have spent a lot of time conversing wholeheartedly with friends and people I love. I’ve been talking through challenges I’m facing, how they are feeling through their challenges too, and on top… Read More Brave And Brokenhearted
When I was a kid, my mom used to tell me that she would turn into a werewolf under a full moon. I have to say that she was incredibly convincing because until I was around nine years old I believed her. Over the years, I am sure I had my doubts, but nonetheless slept… Read More Under A Full Moon
As I lay there in the deep bathtub, I stared up at the ceiling; taking in the rosemary mint scent of the water. I had kept all of the lights off, so my only natural light came from the window above me.
