One of life’s greatest struggles has always been the ability of letting go — of possessions, people, our emotions. Many philosophers and spiritual leaders argue that becoming attached to physical things, people and even our feelings is not only unhealthy, but can also be very detrimental to your overall well-being — for your current life … Continue reading »
If there was something I definitely could not live without, it would be music (also, lotion — really neurotic about this, but I’ll save it for another post…) — it keeps me going for almost every minute of everyday: getting ready in the mornings, on my way to work, at work, shopping, on the way home from … Continue reading »
In my head I’ve always pictured school as this tentative ladder we were all climbing — it started from Pre-k and went up to college (for the general population). Some people’s ladders broke before the end, and some people’s got more rungs added as time went on, but for the most part — this was … Continue reading »

It’s obvious that sometimes it’s difficult to convey our true feelings to one another. Words are misconstrued; actions are hard to take; emotions can become jumbled.

One of life’s many dilemma’s is understanding how best to communicate with one another. Some analyze their words in abundance before they spit them out – afraid of saying the wrong thing, hurting feelings, or just plain giving off the wrong impression.
