Empathy

I tend to, think that I have a hard time empathizing with people. I don't really know how to match their feeling in a moment unless I have gone through it. However, as I have grown and experienced more and seen more loss and tragedy, I am finding empathy to be more prevalent in my…

It’s not all about me

Sometimes it can be hard to remember that things happen for a reason and when they are supposed to. Many times we look to our immediate surroundings for the reasons and answers, but they could be a little further removed. So much of what we do and the things in our lives impact more than…

Easily Distracted

I can admit it, I am easily distracted. While I would say I have good time management skills, I do tend to get off track. I may get everything done, but sometimes it feels like I am doing it the hard way. Today I tried a new tactic. I did not allow myself to get…

Own it

Today I had coffee and conversation with a great group of ladies. We discussed the difficulties of being a solopreneur and how to build confidence in ourselves.

Life is never dull

Life is full of ups and downs. Life is a compilation of positive and negative experiences. But no matter what, life is never dull. Even on the darkest of days, you can choose to find and see the light. When the days are long, and you can’t seem to catch a break, create your own…
