"No matter what anybody tells you, words and ideas can change the world." ~ Dead Poets Society
You know what I have learned from loss? It is painful, almost unbearable, yes. But, the pain you feel, it reminds you you're alive. You are still here. When the pain subsides, you are reminded that moving forward is the only way onward. Channel what you feel, all of that energy into something positive. Everyone [...]
Hi friends, It's been such a long time since I've last posted and I apologize. Life during COVID has been absolutely insane. Here are a few updates. I am still working and I am grateful. I have also begun my student teaching hours so that takes up a great deal of my time. In addition [...]
Hey friends, It's been a while since I've written and being honest, I needed to find my way back. Life has been a roller-coaster and I've been dealing with a whirl-wind of emotions. This post is kind of just going to relieve some stress and anxiety I have been feeling. I was wide awake at [...]
Hey friends! I know it's been a short time since I've last written a post. Life has gotten the best of me as of late. I have been sick, first with a cold, and then with a stomach bug which seems to be going around. School has also been stressful lately as I am currently [...]
Hey guys. I'm back again with a post. I'm sitting here at work, bored and hungry, and figured why not put up a blog post to use my time productively? It seems like I've been getting the bulk of my writing done at work. But whatever, I'm not complaining. Writing gets done when it gets [...]

I was taught at a young age that being strong meant big muscles and hitting the gym every day. Little did I know as I got older mental, emotional, and spiritual health would be more of a focus. How can someone go to the gym if their mind just isn’t in it that day? We [...]
For so long, I have placed my happiness in the hands of others. Not feeling secure with myself at times, I have depended on those around me to give me the answers I needed. To somehow make me feel better. To somehow relieve me of things I've been feeling. I have overcome many obstacles on [...]
I was in the first grade when it all happened. It was a typical day for me as it was for everyone else too. I remember it being a crisp morning in the Fall. The leaves on the trees were a plethora of colors and I remember the crinkling sound they made when I walked [...]
Kenzie’s Mom: I walked into the hospital. The long corridor to the set of elevators seemed never ending. It was the same routine. Ground floor elevator to the 3rd floor.
