COVID Fatigued? Be an Overcomer!
The magnitude of the struggle for people to manage the COVID-19 pandemic is enormous! Is it rocking your world right now? What are things that are going through your mind right now? A rocky foundation challenges us to think about who we are and what we believe. So where do we go and what do we do?

Words + Belief = Positive Outcomes
Positive words and what you believe to go along with those words really do make a difference. Think about it for a minute have you ever said something to someone or said something about or to your self and not really felt it. You then figure out later that it doesn't feel right or nothing good has come out of it. This is probably because what you said and what you believed wasn't in alignment with each other.

Happy Thanksgiving
This year has been a year like no other for me. I experienced a lot of trials after getting back into a salaried manager position at the beginning of the year. Then the Covid-19 virus hit and impacted everything. I did my best at making the best of things during this time and stayed positive for my team. Then as the year progressed a couple of months ago all Assistant Managers in the company I work for were notified that the changes in role that have been circulating for a couple of years now were now to be put in place and were all put in a pool to be selected for the new and fewer positions. Unfortunately, I was not selected for the new position. Then I was sent to a different and more challenging store to work at. This last month has been challenging for me.

The Garden in My Backyard
My parents put the home I grew up in on the market yesterday. Looking through the listing pictures, I saw a house full of memories but with empty rooms, empty halls, empty stairs, and empty stools. But not all of it looked different. While it, too, was empty, the garden in my backyard was still there. Seeing a picture of this garden reminded me of a Chinese Proverb,

How Do You Find Self Love?
It's super easy to go looking for bonds of love in all the wrong places if you're constantly looking outside of yourself. The cold hard facts are, unless you're comfortable with who you are as a person and accept all of what comes with being you, love will always be elusive, and finding that person who is your equal will take much longer.

The Power of Being Vocal
A young girl was told to sit pretty and be quiet. The power and magnitude of those very words went on to shape her life without her even realizing it. Until she began her shadow work and unlearned old habits and patterns. If you can relate to this please keep reading, it only gets better from here.

The Light shown in 2020
When the ball dropped on 2019, we all expected a new fabulous year. The year 2020 has been anything but for many, but it would be a lie for me to say that there have been no up-sides to this year. I quit working at a toxic workplace, I got a new job that eventually had to furlough me after two weeks, and I was unemployed at 24 years old. During lock down I was initially quite bored and bordering on depressed, my daily trips to the grocery store were the highlight of my day. Here is the kicker, I learned that I love to cook. To cook from scratch and to take basic ingredients that are worse separated than they are together. I watched YouTube videos and found recopies on line and my fiancée was loving all the food. I learned that I love to create things with my hands as a means of expression and fun! All these years of not knowing what is really fun and lock down brought me that. I had time to learn a few things in the kitchen that when I decide to go off book and have creative freedom in a dish, it turns out fantastic. Don't get me wrong, not everything turns out well and pizza is a very likely need if it tanks that badly.

Weight Loss 101
I am a certified personal trainer as well as a certified nutritionist. As someone who in constanly roaming Instagram and all all social media platforms, I have seen every fad diet there is. By fad diets I mean, "low carb," "no carb," low fat," " IF.," and so on. There are so many "diets" out there there it's almost impossible for the general population to gather the correct information when it comes to losing weight.

A Culture of Acceptance
In everything we do we must become more. We must become better at our jobs. Better to our partners. To our children. In everything we do we must seek to grow. The issue we as people struggle with most is acceptance. Indeed as a culture we are trained to NOT accept others. We live in a culture where to be in one must act a certain way, wear certain clothes, think in a certain pattern. If they don't we refuse as a people to acknowledge them or, worse yet, we rebuke punish and shame them. We teach this to our children and reinforce it within ourselves, even if we learn otherwise. We think "I know I am correct. This is right." even if it isn't. This is the struggle our culture faces. This struggle is only changed by self conscious and self aware behavior. It isn't easy. In fact you can successfully accept others for a long time just to find you didn't accept someone for some reason. But if we can all stop and learn to accept each other a bit more. We grow not just as people, a nation or as the world. We grow as a species.

Elephant On My Chest
“Elephant on My Chest” By Donna Bixby-Stephens Most days I never gave breathing a second thought. I went about my daily business and things just happened naturally. I would breathe in; I would breathe out and all was copesetic. Then there came a day when the breath wasn’t there. I am at the top of the stairs, just outside the door of my classroom and I can’t breathe. Time stood still and so did I. This was not normal, nor was it expected. Not on my bucket list of things to do for that day.
