Finding Home
Changing scenery is never easy. Moving can bring personal challenges, discomfort, and distance from your loved ones (both physically and mentally). It can place strain on your feeling of comfort and security, it can be frightening. However, it can also bring new people, perspectives, adventures, and growth into your life.

My Full Moon Affirmation Cleanse
With the energy that came in the month of October, I can say that this energy has impacted my life greatly. It has brought me to my knees and one point and I had to get myself back up and believe that everything has a purpose and I am grateful to simply be alive every morning.

Practice Makes Better
Once upon a time, I was sitting in my car, listening to tunes with my longtime friend. We were talking about some heavy stuff; stuff that most artists dwell and fret over. The stuff we all wish we could do versus the things we actually can do. The stuff that is so amazing about our own craft, and also, the really, really bad stuff too. The stuff that makes you want to give up. The stuff that can make or break that specific craft for a person.

Impactfulness
Impactfulness. One of those buzz-words, I guess, that people tend to throw around relatively loosely. But to me impactfulness means many different things. It means making a difference in your life and in the life of others. That is the message I hope to convey to you as you read this piece.

Cheers & Farewell to: OMG I'm Not Young Anymore, My Life Is Over!
I usually tend to write about subjects I read about, while doing my daily routine but funnily enough, this particular one showed up during meditation. Maybe somebody out there is in need of these words right now.. who knows.

Get What You Want
As a living being we always want to improve ourselves. Society, famous people, even our mind creates wishes and goals to lead us to "happiness." I say "happiness" because sometimes what we want is not really good for us. Even though, I believe that every change and every achievement is an improvement, sometimes in our life and sometimes in our perception, showing us what is the right path to follow. With that being said here are some activities that I see in common with most successful people and that, of course, I use in personal life.

Rat Race
Pre K - 5th Grade This is when the love for learning begins. Do you remember getting so excited, that you couldn't contain yourself, to go see all of your friends at school? Do you remember arguing over who's toy was who's? Or who could be the first one done with "Minute Math" and take home the good news to Mom and Dad? Those were the best years. Mom and Dad would pick you up after school and bring you home to an after school snack, then off to go play outside with friends. It is pouring rain outside, but you don't care. It's time to play "Cops N Robbers". Then, in what seems like 5 minutes, Mom is already calling you in for dinner. You sadly say "Bye" to your friends, give them hugs and are off on your way. Walking in the front door, soaking wet, Mom nags to go get dry clothes on before you get sick. You run upstairs and change, then sprint downstairs to sit down for a good meal. Mom and Dad made homemade chili with corn bread (the best!). Everyone sits down at the table together to eat and discuss the day. Mom asks you how school was and you burst out in excitement that you are the Champion of Minute Math. Mom and Dad are so proud of you. "You are a genius, kiddo. You are going to be a scientist when you grow up! Or a doctor! Or an astronaut!"

The Worst 4 Years of My Life
In movies, high school is depicted as a place where time in between classes is infinite at lockers, cliques are a definite, there's always a lot of people, and most of the time, teachers are supportive. These movies always demonstrate a sense that high school is your whole life, and the things you do in high school dictate who, and what, you'll be in the future.

Opportunity Is Knocking
As we go through life, we tend to look at our problems instead of the opportunities that we are given. We, as humans, for some reason, hold on tighter to bad things in life instead of embracing the good. It is so quick for us to see the bad rather than the good in every situation.

So You Have Writer's Block
The cursor keeps blinking on the screen of your laptop. The pen (or pencil if you dig those old school vibes) lays idly on the side of the notebook; sometimes you pick it up, thinking the feel of it will inspire some reflex that sparks up an idea before you lay it back down in defeat. You keep tapping the screen of your phone as you open up a tiny Notes app hoping at least a word will strike you.

The Importance of Hitting Rock Bottom
The magnificent year of 2018 is one of the first years of my nineteen-year-old life to ever smack me across the face unexpectedly. One would think that hitting rock bottom would never happen if you were mentally stable with a steady income and great social life. However, no one knows exactly what goes on in people's heads almost all of the time. Thoughts popping up back and forth along with anxieties that are almost 90 percent out of your control. It can be a time where things in life get messy without anyone ever knowing what is actually going on inside your mind.
