It really kinda sucks when we find ourselves bogged down with the sick. The stupid germs are out to ruin our lives as we know them. And, unfortunately, Kindergarten is a marvelous breeding ground for it all.
Read MoreWith the Dark Moon upon us, and still considering the new year, now is a good time to evaluate any shielding practices (or lack thereof) we may have. It's always good to check-in with any personal practices we set up, though with the way life tends to go - I know that I regularly forget to do so. We do what we can, but the change in the Wheel of the Year marks a great time to reflect, and potentially change things up that aren't working.
Read MoreWhen we begin to exist in this world, we are but a speck - unseeable to the naked eye. From there, we grow thousands of times over before we begin to exist as a recognizable person. After birth, we continue on the path of rapid change for years before all of that starts to slow down into the recognizable pattern that happens between "child" and "adult".

Sometimes they choose to take on the one, big, commitment to finally losing those 5lbs that they've been trying to get rid of for years. Sometimes they chose something else equally as challenging, or multiple somethings that are bound to get lost track of. Often times, though not always, those plans fail to work.

Read MoreIt's no secret that I love to read. Reading is a dear pleasure of mine, and I'm not sure what I would do with myself if I wasn't able to take part. It sometimes acts as an escape from reality, and sometimes it's pleasurable entertainment that lasts longer than a standard movie.

Read MoreAll throughout the day, life happens. It is in those moments where who we really are shines through. We can choose a number of things at any and every crossroad that comes before us. We can choose to let these things define us, or we can choose to rise above.
Read MoreIn life, people come and go - but family always remains. Sometimes it's a family of blood, sometimes it's a family of friends that became stronger than blood. Whatever family you have, or how many, they always hold a special place in our hearts.
