Curiosity

Are you curious? Do you let your curiosity guide you as you did when you were a child? I think we are told somewhere along the way, growing up, that curiosity is not good. After all, “curiosity killed the cat” right?! I love feeding my curiosity. In fact, I would say that I let it…

Struggling to be unapologetically me

There is no question I am blessed. While my blessings have no doubt come with loss and hard work, I am fortunate nonetheless. However, I have a lot of guilt. I struggle with this guilt, internally, every day. I feel guilty for being able to have my own business and work from home. I feel…
