Gratitudes

My father told me several years ago that he creates gratitude lists to center himself. He told me I should start doing it too because I was having a rough time in that moment. I took his advice and started to create gratitude lists. I never realized how much my list would change with each […]

TRUE COST

The hardest lesson I have had to learn this year is the true cost of things. I had to truly understand the reality of how short life is and that anything can happen at any time. Your life really can change in a matter of minutes and you have to be prepared for the unexpected. […]

Just to Feel My Love

Growth. This year has been nothing but lesson after lesson after lesson for me. What about you all? What did you learn about yourself this year?
