Looking back, knowing what you know now, can you see connections? Jobs you disliked at the time that have equipped you with skills you're glad you have now? Relationships that gave you input for what you don't prefer, and what you do?
Thoughts of a Walkabout Day
It's amazing to me what we will find if we are simply paying attention. I have a love/hate relationship with incredibly full days.

The full ones leave me exhausted at the end, yet fulfilled. … Continue reading Thoughts of a Walkabout Day

It's raining, it's pouring I threw on my sweats and hoofed it Out to see the day, headphones in ears What did I do with all of these years Internal speculations got me growing, got me breathing Tryna turn my mind off and start living, just start being Self care can be exhausting … Continue reading 12.17.2015
Throwback Thursday: #noego
No matter where I go, I refuse to be either ashamed of, or overcome by, where I came from. Check the picture.

What is our natural tendency when life hits? To internalize. To go into our shell? We wonder at times … Continue reading Perspective: Focus (Blessing Others)
Countenance

In their eyes, on their face, we can see hope, life, excitement, love, contentment and peace. Or, we can see discouragement, frustration, unhappiness, anger, … Continue reading Countenance

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.
