It’s okay to take a break. Taking breaks has always been really hard for me to do. Because it is hard for me to take breaks, it becomes hard for me to really and truly relax. This week, we went on our COVID style honeymoon. We were supposed to be traveling through Portugal and Barcelona, but 2020 has had other …
By Kayla Wood There are moments in one’s life that act as a catalyst for change. These moments—points in time where one’s view of the world becomes different—might be the result of events, observations, or perhaps reflection. Something must happen, whether internal or external, for one’s perspective to shift and bring clarity where there once was none. I can recall …
Hold onto hope. A simple statement, that can be so hard to do. This week, my family and I remembered the exact pain and fear that we felt this time last year. This time last year, my mom was being diagnosed with stage 2 pancreatic cancer. This time last year was one of the worst times of my life. The …
I’m a planner. I always have been, and I’m pretty sure I always will be. Last week, my boyfriend and I were talking about the way that each of us make plans, and I realized I think way too long-term about my future whereas he thinks more short-term and day-by-day.

It’s almost like this pandemic has given me the chance to reset and evaluate what really matters. Before COVID, I was all over the place. This January, I had three different jobs, I was overextending my budget, I was running …
2020 has certainly been a difficult year. A sad year. A year full of grief on many levels. A year full of uncertainty. At the end of 2019, no one could have predicted that 2020 would be going the way that it is. So many things have happened in such a short amount of time. Time has flown by faster …
Push yourself out of the boundaries and limits you have kept yourself behind. It’s amazing how resilient and capable we truly are if we just believe in ourselves. I remember for so long I used to say that I wasn’t creative. So in turn, my mind often went blank at new ideas and I boxed myself out of trying or …
College is a remarkable time in one’s life, but it’s hard to see someone you love off to school, especially during a global pandemic. My younger brother is starting his first year of college in just a few days, and I’m so much more worried about him than I would be under normal circumstances. He and I are remarkably close …
