Going In Circles
Going in circles is such a familiar expression. This feeling that we're putting in the work but never able to get ahead.

If… Continue reading Going In Circles
The Silent Majority
I believe that the majority of people are good. That the number of good-hearted people committed to building people up outweighs the number of those who want to tear them down. But every time I see the news, it seems like the opposite. Like hell-fire is about to rain down and the world is doomed. … Continue reading The Silent Majority

Not Everyone is Meant to Stay in Your Life Forever
And most people won't. That's life. People come and go. Activities that you once called your favorite will one day be nothing more than a memory. Friends that you've trusted with your life can disappear without a trace or leave without saying goodbye. And there's not always someone to blame in these situations.

Push Through and Post It Anyway
You know the drill. I spend hours writing, working on, and editing my articles. Trying to come up with a great title, picture, make sure it's well written - all that good stuff.
