Productivity and time management, two things I definitely need to work on this year. I like to think of myself as an organized person and while I may be organized I often struggle to focus and manage my time well.

Thanksgiving is only a few days away which means that "Black Friday" is growing nearer as well. I'm not really a fan of "Black Friday" and truly just don't understand the concept.

Was there really anything I … Continue reading Learning to Let It Go

I quickly began to notice a major difference on the nights that I would meditate and they following day. I knew that I would benefit from it even more if I made it a habit to … Continue reading What I Gained From a Month of Meditating
"Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall." -F. Scott Fitzgerald Photo taken in Oct. 2016 in Connecticut (Saville Dam on Barkhamsted Reservoir) For me there has always been something special about this time of year. When I walk outside on a crisp fall day and breathe in the fresh air … Continue reading A Fresh Start With Fall
We all have days that we need to take a step back and do something for ourselves to help us relax, decompress, and just breathe. This can be difficult to do, especially when we are busy but it is so important that we do something to help us gain peace of mind and perspective.
