My one eye closes a bit more than the other when I smile, and I spend too much time re-taking photos trying to keep both eyes open. I talk too much. But other times I don’t talk enough and hold in how I feel. I talk fast. So I get my point across quickly. But you might not catch on …
My entire life, I’ve wanted to help people. The ways in which I’ve wanted to help people have changed over time, but that has always been my goal. Whether it be helping reduce homelessness or reduce hunger or improve people’s health and wellness, or be a support system for one of my teammates or friends, helping others has always gone …
Thanksgiving has come and gone, and often times our practice of gratefulness has come and gone as well. With Thanksgiving, we feel thankful for what we have, no matter how big or how small. For many of us, we get to spend time with family and friends and eat lots and lots of food, so inevitably, we feel thankful. We …

I think about 95% of my life in terms of track meets and practices. All of the preparation, the hard work, the tears, the frustration, the anxiety, the rush of success, all of it. I haven’t ran competitively in years, but I still feel those feelings all of the time. My coach used to say a lot ot things but …
As humans, we complain a lot. We complain that it it is too cold and that we miss summer, and then summer comes and we complain that it is too hot and we wish it were fall. We complain that we don’t have enough in our lives and that our goals feel so far away. And then once we reach …
I was at a NAMI support group the other night as they always bring in guest speakers. At the end of the speech, which turned into more of a discussion, one of the attendees told me I should be a motivational speaker and another told me I should write. I chuckled because I currently do both of those things. The …
