When things in our lives seem to go wrong, we feel as if it’s the end of the world because we can’t see further than what’s right in front of us. It is only when we look back that after we’ve survived the storm that we realize that those “broken” parts are actually pieces that make up the beautiful picture of life, a new start.

Just Imagine
Our imagination is so underrated. We need our imagination because it’s what helps us to push our boundaries, and if you’re anything like me, face your fears. It is through imagination that we can explore our ideas. It gets us in touch with our memories and our emotions.
Single at Heart
I was never one to focus on marriage or even being in a relationship growing up. I guess I was so used to being on my own that the thought of sharing my time didn’t interest me that much growing up. It wasn’t that I didn’t have good role models. My family was filled with…
It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
There’s a reason for holidays being so stressful, and it’s far from a bedtime story. Holiday stress is overwhelming
When You Brag
This past weekend taught me a valuable lesson on bragging. For many, if bragging was an Olympic sport, I know a few who certainly would win a gold medal in it. I know that I’m not alone when it comes to dealing with braggers. Almost no one likes a show-off, but most people like to…
Your Authentic Self
Ever look in the mirror and say to yourself, “Wow, have I changed?” I don’t mean physically but as a person. I came from a town that I thought was a great place to live. Stores were at a premium, the best florist in the area, and plenty of things to do.
Friends that Never Leave
There are tried and true signs of whether a friend wants to be in your life or not. You think that they are your friend, maybe even your best friend, but in reality, they’re just looking for the next best thing. We all have them, and it may take a few times or more to figure them out, but soon you will find that your true friends are the ones texting you in the early morning hours, double-fisting ice cream and a roll of cookie dough after you just had an argument with someone in your life.
True Friends
Sometimes realizing who you’re true friends are is the hardest and most unpleasant experiences. It’s a hurtful experience to have to go through, but in the long run, it’s good to know who you can and can’t depend on in life.
Someone that Inspires
Have you ever met someone, either on social media or in person, and immediately realize that this was the person that has influenced you in some way, you just want to get to know them better. Maybe not in the way that many people would categorize “getting to know someone.” It could be a friendship, or perhaps for some it could be something more, but whatever that feeling takes you, it’s really about the idea of meeting someone that brings you to wanting to be a better person than you are today.
Time Flies
Often I hear so many people ask the question: “where does the time go?” It’s not an unusual question, especially with so many graduations taking place during this time of year. I often have to hold myself back from saying what is really on my mind, “time didn’t just slip away, you allowed yourself to become too busy.” I think that this is very true. We’ve trained ourselves to keep our lives filled to the brim with work, errands, and chores. It’s easy to understand why many feel that time has slipped away from them.
