There Is Strength in Weakness
Imagine an ice sculpture of a swan. Each curve, each detailed carving in the wings, the beak, the arch of the neck, every aspect formed to realistic perfection. But behind the awe of it, there is fragility in beauty and this seemingly flawless masterpiece isn’t without defect. Its weakness is the very thing that makes it beautiful, the fact that it’s made of something so easily broken.

Finding Your Bliss in Chaos
I briefly caught up with some creative friends this week, which is crazy rare for me these days because I hardly leave the house. Why would I want to? I have a lovely modern apartment with a north facing view from a quaint balcony that gets drenched in sunlight all day long. For me, this is bliss.

How to Make Money Doing What You Love
Today, I wanted to talk about the idea of doing what you love while getting paid for it, because from my own experience, it seems that so many people are just worried about making a living, which really isn't all that hard to do, but we over complicate things greatly, and then we can't seem to step outside of our comfort zone to go towards a life of greatness, because playing it safe is comfortable, but far less fulfilling.

Value Versus Price
The value of any product or service is indubitable in the eyes of the beholder, but I believe that the way we measure value is often clouded by what we want rather than what it's actually worth. One of the most frustrating things when working in the medical field is watching patients turn down health-specific products or services because of a price tag. That is not to say that medical services are not overpriced, but in relation to all the other extraneous expenses we spend our dollars on, one must admit that the priorities are habitually out of order. We are eager to fork out hundreds of dollars for a designer bag without hesitation. Shoes, accessories, and items that boost our social status are consumed at outrages prices at no question, but as soon as it comes to anything in regards to what we actually need, the wallet is on shutdown and we need answers. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average American spends more than $1700 annually on clothing alone. I doubt that this includes all the designer shoppers, because last I checked, an MK backpack costs about half of that by itself. While I believe that everyone should live the way that makes them happy, I also know that having the wrong perception in regards to what we need and what we want can eventually lead us into some big trouble.

Confidence when Confidence Gets Low
Whenever my confidence is low, I just think of the times that seemed impossible, the times when I felt like I could not achieve. One term while attending college, I made the winter term dean's list all while working and consistently being involved in extracurriculars. That was a very proud moment for me. Not only because I had upped my GPA and attained A’s and B’s, but because that was a VERY stressful season for me. I was working a lot of hours and faithfully attending a Writer’s guild, plus I was also helping out my family at the time. When I was stressed out, what did I do? I prayed, remembered to rest and think positive, and reminded myself of the reason for it all: my passion. My passion is to write. My passion is to uplift, encourage, and motivate other people to be their ultimate best!

All In Perfect Timing
Sometimes we have the tendency to try to take control over everything in our lives. We desire for things to go as planned, things to be presented to us on time, and for everything to work out a certain way. And when things don’t unfold exactly the way we were hoping them to, we can get pretty bent out of shape. And how often do things actually go the way that we plan? In most cases, not very often.

A Letter to My Future Self
I know you feel like you need to be doing a million different things and want to accomplish so many things, but quit putting a time limit on your work. You’re a perfectionist, and so focused on the details that you’re going to burn yourself out if you keep trying to reach the deadlines that YOU put there. Let it happen when the universe says so. You’re putting yourself through the same thing twice, because you stress yourself out over something that has yet to happen. So relax and keep grinding.
