Journal Series: Social Battery
The height of summer is upon us, and I can honestly say I am completely exhausted. My social battery is at an all-time low, and the crazy part is that I haven’t even done much at all. So, what the hell is happening here? I know that part of my…
Kind Reminders
In this day and age of what seems to be endless bad news, bad luck, bad energy, and just bad vibes, it’s hard to stay above water and navigate the seas to find positivity. I’m not just speaking of the personal things I’ve gone through, but collectively what we are…
Journal Series: Meditation
I just meditated. I decided to do it before bed in order to relax. The truth is that I made a promise to myself to meditate once daily, and I lasted maybe two consecutive days before falling off. Anyway, I got back on the horse just now. I had just…
