Where do you find inspiration? Is it in the world around you? In nature? In books or TV? Is it in the every day grind? The moment of reflection you find when the days seem to play on repeat? Do you find it in social media or the words that flow in conversations? Do you find it in your loved […]
I have always been interested in psychology. Understanding the mind and how it works. Noticing behaviors and patterns. Identifying habits. Cause and effect. I have a natural gift for recognizing emotion. I am highly sensitive to feelings; even when someone tries to hide them. Because of my natural desire to help people and to understand their needs, I have cherished […]
It’s a universal issue. A complication that can make or break even the very best of relationships. The smallest amount of disregard can cause an avalanche of assumption. Intentions become irrelevant in the aftermath. I’ve always been a voice of reason to friends around me. A confidant that cares. My gift of empathy gives me depth that my experience cannot […]

Many things come to mind when one thinks of fire. It takes on so many meanings: literal, metaphorical, and spiritual. It can be alarming…dangerous…frightening…or it can be a symbol of strength… power…or even calm. It is the epitome of “extreme”….used to emphasize the most dramatic scenarios. However, there is more to a flame than ash and smoke. A Consuming Fire: […]
I have learned a lot of things this year. While my knowledge continues to expand, there is one thing that has been a constant roadblock. Misconception.

There are no words to describe the events of this year. There are some things that happen that are impossible to explain. As humans, we are creatures of habit.
