The Lone Goose
I was out on the school track for my early morning walk while visiting my daughter this summer and met up with my usual companions—a large gaggle of Canadian Geese. This tightly organized community generally splits into two groups, one to the outside of the track and one on the inside both busily grazing on the grasses. Artfully dodging goose droppings where they crisscrossed the asphalt surface became part of my exercise routine.

The Case for Making a Change
Three years ago, I started my new career as a teacher. I was to teach middle school social studies; history, geography, economics, etc. Two months into my second year teaching middle school, I was so burnt out and discouraged that I was entertaining the idea of leaving mid-year to do something completely different from teaching. The major cause of this being that I didn’t feel supported by the administration in my teaching, and in navigating behavioral issues.

You: Becoming Bolder
Not every person is born with the natural inclination to share themselves with the world. Some are outgoing, some are introverted, and some are quiet. We feel different levels of comfort in different places, situations, and people. Those unique traits to our personalities make us exactly what we are meant to be: OURSELVES.

The Road to You
Growing Up When we are kids, we are encouraged to have dreams. Dreams of a wonderful career, family, lifestyle, etc. We are told at an early age that we can be anything and do anything we put our hearts and minds to. As young kids we dream of being actors, president of our country, singers, etc. We set our minds and hearts to be successful and live an amazing life.

Lazy Girl Tips for Productivity
1. If you cannot concentrate, try not to beat yourself up, and don’t sit there too long either. Stand up, get a coffee, go for a little walk, put some laundry on, and then come back to whatever you’re trying to focus on with a clearer head.

“Hey, World. Don’t Hurt Me.”
Birth. I don’t think many of us really REALIZE how insane the process of birth is, and I don’t think I’m going to even try to get into it, but the basic idea is this—transition. We go from complete safety within our mother’s womb to the big bad world, within what seems like an instant. How is that fair? Did I ask for this? Shit, I had it so good. I’m not complaining, no no. I’m glad my mom decided to raise me, feed me, occasionally scare the literal HELL out of me. It made me who I am today. I’d like to consider myself a decent person, and I’d like to say I have it mostly figured out. Is that the case though? Not by a long shot. It’s a journey, ya know? We find our way, slowly but surely. Or at least, that’s what I was told…

On Writer's Block
I don’t think I’ve ever really understood the concept of writer’s block. I know there are times where we don’t know what to write next. I’ve always got ideas, but sometimes I’m uninspired. However, that’s the thing with writing—you’re not going to be inspired or motivated all of the time. In fact, most days you won’t be. There will be occasions when you get stuck, and you’re not sure what to do next. But you’re not blocked.

Finding Your Inner Peace
Finding your inner peace is difficult in our crazy world... but not impossible. I love the quote, "Don't let people draw you into their storm; bring them into your peace." It signifies a chaos that surrounds us and slowly engulfs our good intentions. The more we fight it, the more we suffer. But if we submit to it and let our world spin out of control, naturally we stop caring because then we can stop hurting. It happens to the best of us.

How to Strengthen Your Creative Muscle
As someone who is currently working to improve my craft in all aspects of the word, I thought it would be beneficial to share how I do this in the hopes of helping others who might not be sure where to start. I have likened creating to a muscle because it is exactly that; if you do not regularly train a muscle, atrophy occurs just like if you do not consistently create you start to lose that muscle memory or creative memory. This article will cover three subjects; imitation, practise, and innovation.
