At some point or another, most of us have felt like we were stuck, stagnant, unable to move out of our current situation or circumstance. And this could happen at any age, although I don’t believe that you’re usually truly cognizant of this “feeling” until you’re out of your 20’s. I’m just saying. I loved …
I've been thinking about the effects of technology and this social media phenomenon that has got too many of us caught up.

Encouragement: the action of giving someone support, confidence, or hope. Positivity: having a good, affirmative, or constructive quality or attribute.

Then on Sunday morning in Seattle, police officers …
Truth: The true or actual state of a matter; truth to self; authenticity. We all have our own individual, unique, personal Truths. And I believe that we are meant to realize these various "Truths" in our own way, in our own time. They can't be rushed, nor can they be dictated, formed, or shaped by …
I've been contemplating this concept of superficiality versus authenticity for some time now, because it feels like lately I've found myself in situations that highlight just how many or how few folks that I interact with, fit into one of these categories: superficial: existing or occurring at or on the surface; apparent rather than real; shallow; not …
