While there is no single definition of intelligence that is universally accepted, it is generally understood as the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills to solve problems, reason, and adapt to new situations. However, intelligence is not just about cognitive abilities but encompasses a wide range of characteristics and behaviors that are indicative of a person's overall mental capacity and maturity.

Press pause to process
When I was a newly-minted high school teacher, I’d stand in the front of the room and ask my class a question. A handful of students would instantly shoot their hands into the air hoping to be called on. The rest would sit and wait to hear the selected student’s answer. Nobody benefitted.

Why to Stray Away from Your Writing Routine
You are a writer. You read voraciously. You’ve studied your craft. You’ve read the books on writing. You’ve applied yourself, integrated writing into your life. Established a routine, a special time dedicated to you and your words.

The Beauty in Death
When I say death, what do you picture — is it a tall skeleton wearing a black hooded gown with the edges tethered and torn — do you picture yourself engulfed by the 4 sided walls — are you floating away from everything on ground or do you picture everything black and sad.

On a Night of Such Endless Stars
My phone alarm went off at 1:15 AM.

The Generational Obsession with Body Image
I believe that body image has never been a more prevalent issue in our society than it is right now. We can’t even go to the grocery store without seeing a plethora of magazines promising us a new “healthy” body by enticing us with flashy language such as “melting,” “watching,” and “shedding” the weight off. We can’t stand with our delicious food moving up the line without seeing at least one “hard hitting” photograph of a healthy celebrity with some kind of caption stating how they are gaining weight, or are too “fat”. Let’s not forget the “calorie counting” captions that captivate us and then catapult us into math figuring frenzy (I mean if we didn’t hate math as it was already…)
