Dear America – prosperity should not be sought after on the outside. No. Listen to me. Prosperity is NOT wrong. It is very, very, good. BUT at what point do we realize that we have been going about finding it the wrong way? Do the ends always justify the means? Or do the means always … Continue reading Workaholism
Isolation
Isolation I sit at this restaurant at the only table that has an outlet that I can charge my laptop at while I work on a few things. I am working .. but not. What was utter exhaustion earlier has turned into utter inspiration after fulfilling my appetite with cabbage-seafood- and vegetable stir-fry and … Continue reading Isolation
Warrior
Warrior You cannot keep a fighter from fighting. They long for the battle, the fight, the challenge. They long to conquer. To overcome. For victory. If they aren’t fighting, they are bored. And if they're bored, they're getting in trouble. Truth? The longer that I live, the more that I realize that not everyone is … Continue reading Warrior

I’m leaving that one open-ended. Do your own homework there. What a vital question that is. It shapes … Continue reading Grow

I find it terribly interesting and terribly awesome, and quite honestly, not terrible at all, that when I learn something that speaks to me that needs to be a perspective shift in my … Continue reading Treasure
Routine
Routine. Love it? Hate it? Have you thought about it recently? Probably. Have you pondered it in the last 5 minutes? Likely. Why is it that we fall into such routines of tasks? Doing, doing, doing. Busy, busy, busy. Not taking time out for the things we really want to do. Not taking true time … Continue reading Routine

REPOST: monday #25: happiness.
This is my first time doing this. I am very specific and very intentional when it comes to the content that I share here. I stumbled over and read this article in my email archives the other day from a fellow blogger that I subscribed to a little while back over the summer and found such … Continue reading REPOST: monday #25: happiness.
ThanksGIVING Thursday and Black Friday
What does the term, 'Black Friday' make you think of? Feel? As a child, my memory of Black Friday was the commercials we would see on TV. Macy's, Walmart, and every other department store, it seemed, was battling for our eyes and ears. I knew, beyond shadow of doubt, that Christmas was coming. In fact, … Continue reading ThanksGIVING Thursday and Black Friday
