When you first meet someone a general question you might ask them is, where are you from? For me the answer to that question is Florida. But home to me is so much deeper. I think home, yes, is a place you are born, but also the word home produces…

Let’s Talk About Pressure
This may seem a bit morbid, but bear with me. I just recently started reading a book called, Crazy Love, by Francis Chan and in it I came across something interesting that so perfectly describes the point of life, yet so purposefully distains how most people go about their life.…

Let’s talk about the ‘waiting game’ I think something I’m in the process of learning at this point and time in my life is patience. I’ve never thought of myself as a patient person. I’m always wanting and hoping for things to come together as quickly as possible. I think…
